Focus on your sunny spaces

The fact that this is taking place right before spring feels a bit ironic and like a double-edged sword; I can see trees starting to blossom, yet we’re pent up while the world is waking up. But why not consider now the ideal time to begin growing things as the days grow longer and the climate warms?

You can still grow if you don’t have access to outside area or will be confined to an apartment or home. Really, all you require is a sunny location. Although there isn’t much natural light in my apartment, there is enough on the kitchen windowsill for me to grow plants. You may increase in size as long as you have light.

Be resourceful

You may use the tubs that your tomatoes or mushrooms come in, or even salad trays, instead of using a tonne of pots and planters. Try using a bread baking pan if you’re truly stuck. It’s less optimal since it lacks drainage, but if you have soil and a trough, you can still grow.

Grow things you can eat

I enjoy cultivating edibles, or items that we can eat. It also has a very practical aspect at a time like today when we are all becoming more resourceful at home.

Additionally, it is really pleasant to observe something grow in its actual process. If you work from home, this is especially true when you’re going a little bonkers inside and there’s no real distinction between day and night. Actually, it’s a pleasant way to pass the time. Any kind of herb or salad leaves are usually a wonderful start, but more specifically on what to plant later.

Invest in indoor plants

Due to the season, stores are now carrying a wide variety of indoor plants to liven up your home. Once more, you may order them online for door-to-door delivery.

They are a means of bringing nature inside, especially in these times when we aren’t getting outside as much as we should. It has been scientifically shown that they improve our mood. For peace, joy, and escape, we actually need nature. Plants also provide something to gaze at that isn’t a screen if you find yourself continually scrolling on your phone.

Don’t overwater

People frequently severely overwater their plants, particularly succulents. They really only need to drink once a week at this time of year. When you do water them, I’d also advise doing it correctly. Avoid letting the water sit in the container and become musty since doing so can harm the plant.

Utilise your balcony space

People rarely realise that you have just as much room up as you do out in any location, no matter how big or little. I explain to folks who comment on how much stuff I have on my balcony in pictures that I’m actually growing at different rates, so it seems that way.

Even if you have a juliette balcony, consider hanging some pots from the side of the railings and letting them trail in and out to give the impression that the area is larger.
