Opt for compact or dwarf varieties. Examples: Tomatoes, leafy greens, chili peppers, and carrots.
Match pot size to the plant's needs. Use containers with drainage holes (e.g., terracotta pots, grow bags).
Avoid garden soil; it's too dense. Use a food-plant potting mix or a DIY blend of compost, vermiculite, and coconut coir.
Most veggies need 8+ hours of light; fruiting plants like tomatoes need 16–18 hours. Use grow lights if natural light isn’t sufficient.
Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering is a common indoor gardening mistake.
Heavy feeders like tomatoes need bi-weekly feeding; leafy greens need less. Use liquid organic fertilizers to avoid buildup.
Inspect plants regularly for pests like aphids. Use organic insecticidal soap for prevention and treatment.
Rotate pots a quarter turn every 1–2 weeks. This ensures even growth and sturdy stems.
Remove yellow or broken leaves. Prune larger plants, like tomatoes, for better growth.
Use a cotton swab or small brush to transfer pollen. Essential for fruiting plants like tomatoes and cucumbers.
