Things You'll Need:
- Plants
- Potting soil
- Clay pots or other containers
- Artificial light
- Fan or air conditioning
-
Step 1
Pick a room for your indoor garden. If possible, choose a room with south-facing windows, as these get the most natural sunlight. Buy artificial lights to control the amount of light plants receive in rooms with fewer windows.
-
Step 2
Experiment with the arrangement of the plants you want to grow before purchasing them. For a traditional indoor herb garden, plant herbs in rows throughout the room; use light and space to influence the placement of containers. Some plants may not thrive with a lot of light, whereas others need to be exposed to as much sunlight as possible.
-
Step 3
Purchase a halogen or LED lamp and a fan to regulate the light exposure, temperature and air flow in the room. Placing a halogen lamp in the room will generate enough heat to keep the plants warm even in winter, and the fan will keep air moving across the plants.
-
Step 4
Buy your plants. Plant them in clay pots or other containers of your choice. Use the appropriate potting soil based on the needs of your plants.
-
Step 5
Place plants around the room so they have the appropriate amount of space and sunlight for their growing characteristics. Water plants daily.
