Unless your floor is made of soil, container gardening is pretty much the only way to grow plants indoors. If you’re growing container plants indoors, whether edible or non-edible, you can still follow all the tips above.
One extra thing that you’ll need to pay careful attention to is plant selection when growing indoors. Assuming you don’t have a sunroom that lets in 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day, you’ll need to get shade-tolerant plants. Think focus, snake plant, orchids, etc. We both use and recommend growing these plants indoors because they also do a great job of improving your indoor air quality.
We hope this article helped answer your container gardening questions! If not, let us know in the comments.

Small Scale Indoor Gardening
An example of small scale vegetable gardening is growing several rows of plants in a window box with a large plant situated at each end.
Using such a container, you could plant a tomato plant at either end, with rows of peas, carrots, lettuce, or radishes in the middle, and an edging of herbs such as parsley or chives.

To get started, you‘ll need a pot with drainage holes and specially designed indoor potting soil. While some options can grow in small planters, larger veggies will require big and deep containers so their roots have space to flourish.
