Bengaluru is turning out to be a densely populated city and one has to battle a space crunch. With buildings and offices mushrooming in every nook, there is hardly any space left for gardens and green zones. Added to this is the fact that homes are getting smaller, directly in proportion to the rising rates. And this is why indoor gardening that one can indulge in, even at small homes, is gaining popularity. Women are opting for tiny kitchen gardens with a few favourite herbs in a bid to beckon some green into the house. A variety of chic and colourful containers, pots and planters are being used give homes an evergreen feel. Sonam Gupta, interior consultant and Rashmi Attavar, from an Indo-American hybrid seed company, share tips that can help you begin an indoor garden...
Location: Choose a plant that is suitable for the location you wish to place it in. There are some plants that do well indoors or in the shade. They can be moved indoors when required.
Plant choice: Choose a plant according to your space. A balcony would look pretty with a single orchid or a hanging basket. If you have a railing, a window box with flowers plants would brighten up the space.
Maintenance: Choose plants that are low on maintenance. Make sure planter trays are emptied at least twice a week to avoid mosquitoes and 'wet feet' for the plant.
Containers: You can use ceramic planters in vibrant colours or even metal containers to accentuate the plants.
Colour code it: Greek blue and ochre will dominate 2015, say interior designers. These colours are also getting popular when it comes to home design and when combined with rich velvet jewel tones, they give a royal look. These colours can be incorporated into your home gardens via planters, pots, plant holder, etc., to give it a chic look.
