Indoor Water Gardening

I have not personally ever had an indoor water garden. One, I’ve had my son around for the last eight years, and as a baby, I’d never want to chance a tot falling into indoor water (kids can drown in under an inch of water and in just minutes) two, it seems like a lot of work, and three I like being outside.

That said, I’ve been seeing a mess of indoor water garden news lately and some of them look pretty fun, and since Blisstree Gardening aims to discuss all things gardening, I thought I’d offer some good links to indoor water gardening tips.

• Martha Stewart has the most glorious indoor water garden piece with tips on light for water plants and how to set up your plants along with plenty of lovely images of course – it almost made me want to start an indoor water garden.
• The University of Vermont Extension has less of a how-to and more of an important tips piece up. It’ll clue you in to some mistakes not to make, types of pots to choose, and more.
• Thrifty Fun has some easy to follow tips about how to get started when creating an indoor water garden and the piece offers an excellent list of suitable water garden plants.
• A big old guide on all things indoor water gardens.
• Find supplies for indoor gardening at Growco Indoor Garden Supply.
