The Essentials of Growing Vegetables And Other Plants Indoor Both as a hobby and as a practical way of eliminating environmental challenges, growing plants and vegetation indoors is becoming more common. When acquiring LED growing lights, there are a couple of things to consider in order to get the appropriate type of lighting based on what you plan to grow. Here is a short overview of some common questions about indoor cultivating. What Plants Will Do Well Indoors? The majority of plants and flowers can be successfully grown inside if you create the appropriate conditions, which means length of light exposure, type of light and ambient temperature and humidity. Many flowering and foliage plants will in fact flourish in an inside environment. As indoor plant life, vegetables are especially successful if given the appropriate conditions. Some of the least difficult vegetable to grow inside the house include carrots, radishes, potatoes and beets nevertheless others like tomatoes, sprouts, eggplants, mushrooms, peppers, peas, lettuce and herbs can also be grown in an indoor environment. In an artificial lighted ecosystem, even flowering fruit plants like citrus can be raised indoors. What Kind of Environment Do Indoor Plants Need? Although the specific environment each plant needs to prosper in is different, there are a few rules that hold true for most plants. Even though some tropical plants will thrive best in a hotter environment, other plants will do very well in temperatures between 60 and 86 degrees. So that cold doesn't damage sensitive plants, it is best to maintain a constant temperature above 50 degrees. Keep temperatures stable and avoid placing your plants right by a vent or any other heating or cooling source. Relative humidity between 25 percent and 50 percent is considered best for the majority of plants, although tropical plants are accustomed to higher humidity levels; you can use a air humidifier or put them close together and mist them to maintain higher moisture levels. You should also do this if you are living in a very dry environment to prevent your plants from losing water. What About Watering and Lighting? When it comes to watering and lighting necessities, these rules are much tougher to figure out. Although you should be provided with care instructions when purchasing plants, water needs can and will differ greatly among different types. Lighting necessities also vary: vegetable and fruit plants require as much as 18 hours of close-up light, some flowering plants will only bud once they experience short "days" of less than 12 hours, and a lot of foliage plants thrive when placed as much as 36 inches away from the light. In terms of planting and growing plants, the color of the lighting also is so important. Typically the bulb type doesn't matter as much to the plant, although some types offer sensible benefits. An LED grow light is economical and good for plants that need to be placed very close to the light source, since LED lights yield minimal heat. Because they are available in most colors, LED and fluorescent lights are effective. For most plants to have the exposure it requires to flourish, the red or blue light bulbs can emit the correct amount of light and heat.
