Find a Bright Spot
Most plants will need at least a few hours of bright light every day. Go around and find the best space for your little ones, and consider if you want indoor or balcony gardening. If you want to save space you can either set up a vertical garden or put your plants in pots or containers.
Look for Plants
Pick the plants that will thrive in a condo space. It’s recommended that you get air plants and succulents for starters. If your condo gets a lot of sun, then you can get fruiting vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes, and green onions. Herbs are great for both indoor and outdoor settings, and you can use them for cooking too.
Gather Your Pots and Gardening Tools
You won’t need a lot of tools to start gardening- just get the basics such as a small shovel or scoop, a spray bottle, watering can, pruning shears, and gloves. Also, you’ll need pots at the right size for the plants you want to grow.
Choose the Right Soil
The right soil can make a world of difference. Potted plants require more fertilization and watering. Generally speaking, garden soil that doesn’t get too soggy is the preferred medium. Pair it with a well-draining pot to set yourself up for success.
Stick to a Gardening and Watering Routine
Learn about your plant’s watering and light requirements so you’ll know where to put it and how much water to give. Schedule a watering routine so your plants can grow healthy and produce lots of flowers.
