Don’t let winter get you down – Grow Indoors!
November 14th, 2009
As the seasons change, indoor gardening is just what we need to keep our green thumbs green and growing. Planting flowering bulbs indoors is a fun and easy way to grow something during the winter. Paperwhites and bulbs are the easiest to bloom indoors since neither has to be forced.
Paperwhites will produce fragrant white blooms will appear within 3 to 4 weeks of planting. Once the blossoms turn brown, remove the bulbs and throw them away. Paperwhites can not be saved for re-blooming. Make sure you pick up a good supply of them now and plant every 2 to 3 weeks to have a continuous supply through out the winter. Amaryllis bulbs take a little longer to bloom, so allow about 8 weeks of growing time until bloom. Large flowers with a variety of shades of red, white, pink and orange make the Amaryllis a popular and easy choice for indoor gardening.
If you want something more permanent, you can simply add some green plants to brighten your home for winter. Indoor gardens transform ordinary rooms into vibrant living spaces. House Plants do more than just brighten up a room with color and living energy, they bring real health benefits to your body. Not only do headaches, stress and colds decrease when indoor plants are present but decorating a room with plants can help to keep the air clean.
We have plants for corners and table tops as well as hangers for your windows. Lush colors and textures will add some magic to a drab interior space this winter.

Aw, this was a really outstanding post. In theory I’d like to drop a line like this too – taking time and real effort to make a fabulous article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never seem to get something done.

Thanks for the help…my grandpa always said “A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows.
