FAQ: Close to the Window?

Many people can be unsure as to the best place to situate their hanging garden in their homes. Is the best place for the plants near the window? Or will this burn the leaves during the hottest part of the day? When choosing the best place to put your hanging garden, consider first the type of plants you plan to grow, this will dictate the best place to have them.  Indoor plants may not cope very well with harsh sunlight, so keep them away from bright windows. Outdoor plants may not get enough sunshine to survive indoors. To get a better idea of the best plants for your hanging garden, consult your local nursery. This amazing design is by Studio Noun.

Special Cares and Needs

One of the most important things to consider when looking after a hanging garden is keeping the plants well watered. As these plants often have small containers that can be exposed to the elements they can dry out easily. For this reason it is important to water them regularly. If you have a number of plants located together, consider installing a drip irrigation system to ensure they do not dry out. Other important factors to remember include fertilising and pruning. A slow release fertilizer is the best option for these plants. This will eliminate the risk of over feeding the plants, which is easily done due to the small containers. Pruning is also important. These plants can become heavy when they grow too large, increasing the risk of falling from hooks and baskets.

Hanging gardens are a wonderful way to bring nature indoors. These clever gardens can be created in the smallest spaces, it only takes a sunny spot and somewhere to hang the plants from. There are many different types of containers you can use to make your hanging garden, from felt pockets to glass jars and plastic pots. It is then a matter of choosing the right plants and hanging them according to you own unique design. Be sure that the plants you choose are suited to the position you intend to hang them from. Once you have hung your plants according to your design it is time to sit back and enjoy the natural garden in your very own home. For more indoor gardening ideas see 5 Indoor Garden Ideas
