Plastic containers retain moisture the best, but terra cotta pots are typically seen as the most attractive option.Otherwise, look for a container that has holes in the bottom to allow for drainage, or simply drill holes into any container. You don’t need a large container to start seeds, and if you’re transplanting a plant you’ll need a container twice the size of the root ball. You can go with traditional pots or containers from a garden supply store, or be unique and use old vases or plastic bottles.

Fluorescent light tubes are typically considered the best choice because they are cost effective and give good results. Although windows let in a little sunlight, you’ll primarily be in charge of giving your plants light through artificial means. This works with a series of small tubes supplied to each plant, and a timer that turns the water on/off for a certain period each day. Watering regularly can be a difficult habit to master rather than setting reminders for yourself daily, try getting a drip system. To remedy this, you can purchase electric mats made for heating pots from the bottom, regulating the temperature of the soil. You probably don’t want to have your house heat on that high, especially in the winter. In general, most plants thrive in soil temperatures between 75–85 ☏ (24–29 ☌). These will vary slightly depending on the system of garden that you are using and the plants you decide to grow, but there are a few helpful tools to make controlling the environment easier. There are three general things you’ll be in charge of controlling: air temperature, water frequency, and soil condition. While this requires more work, it also greatly increases the success of your plants when done properly. The biggest reason for planting an indoor garden is the ability to completely control the environment.
