Indoor Gardens R4U

I’d like to talk to you today about adding some items of interest into your Indoor Garden things that will make you and your plants happier. 

For starters, there’s a lot to be said about adding a fountain to your plant’s settings.  There are so many inexpensive tabletop fountains that can be purchased from catalogues and department stores that can add not only sight and sound but will have a positive affect on you and your plants as well.

The sound of splashing water is soothing and helps the mind relax and clear itself of the daily clatter that we build up within ourselves.  It eases the tension in our muscles and let’s us rest better.

It also adds humidity to the room and surrounds your Indoor Garden with much needed moisture, especially during the long winter months ahead.  That humidity is also good for your health as the dry air from heating our homes robs the tender mucus membranes of the necessary moisture they need to keep you healthy. 

The dryness can and will cause more problems with breathing and actually enables those cold bugs to take root much easier and stay longer in a dry parched throat and nose.  Consider adding a fountain to each room where you have your Indoor Gardens and you and your house plants will be so much happier and healthier for it.

Fountains, silk butterflies, and feathered bird accents are fun items to add to your house plant placements that will be conversation pieces and add a touch of fancy to your Indoor Garden.

I put lights on my Ficus tree at Christmas time and keep small brightly colored birds perched on its’ branches throughout the time I have to keep it indoors.  I take them off during the summer months when I take all my house plants except my African Violets and Christmas cactus out of doors to enjoy the sunshine and rain that they crave.

Consider these additions to your Indoor Garden.  You can change them for each of the upcoming Holidays throughout the long winter months ahead.  Most craft stores carry the bird and butterfly accents and if you are very crafty you might even make them yourself.

Pretty pots and unusual planters are not necessarily the only decorative accents you can add to your Indoor Garden.  Be creative and have fun.

Happy Gardening.
