Abstract: Indoor gardening is a technique used to grow plants indoors. This might be for decorative purposes, such as the trees and flowers sometimes seen in shopping malls, or the trailing vines sometimes used in restaurants to provide a sense of serenity and privacy. Even office building can be used for indoor gardening, and the beneficial impact that growing plants has no indoor air quality has long been proven. Indoor gardening refers specifically to the growing of vegetables or herbs inside an enclosed structure, most often a residential home. This might be done to prolong a shorter growing season, to get a head start on the growing season before the last frost of the year, or to grow delicate plants in a area not suited to them. One of the simplest forms of indoor gardening is container gardening. In this situation, any container capable of holding soil, moisture, and plants can be used. Pots are the most common, but homesteaders and those looking to up cycle waste may use anything from cardboard egg cartoons to coffee cans. Indoor gardening can be small in scale and done by the average homeowner or it can be industrial in scale and occur in massive greenhouses. Keep in mind that, whether it takes place indoors or outdoors, all method of gardening requires access to clean water, a source of light, and a way to support as they grow.
