Equipment for growing plants in the house

First of all, you need to build a portable desktop where soil substrates and boxes or containers will be made in the kitchen, on the balcony or the glass veranda. Above the desk, we recommend hanging a small locker or shelf, where the necessary tools will be stored. To create optimal conditions for growth and development of plants in room conditions, the relevant equipment has windows, balconies, loggias, terraces, corridors, cellars.

It has long been thought that the window sill is the best place to house indoor plants. Indeed, plants on it receive the most light, air, and often heat. In many apartments house plants are placed on the windowsills - in the living room, bedroom, dining room and even in the kitchen. In order that plants do not stand on the windowsills densely and do not interfere with each other, we recommend that you expand the window sill in the direction of the room and warm it a little, putting a polystyrene cover or board on its size.

The most complete light and thermal modes can be created in window mini-greenhouses that are manufactured and sold in specialized stores. Many amateurs-vegetable growers themselves equip the premises with simple greenhouses with lighting and heating.

When planting the main task will be to skilfully place them in such a way that the light-loving plants are closer to the glass and the southern window, while the more unpretentious ones are recommended to be placed on the eastern, western and even northern windows. For cultivation of planting material in room conditions it is possible to make by own hands unpretentious fellows with subsoil heating. We recommend you to buy or make yourself beautiful stand, which can not only be placed on the windowsill, but also strengthened on the walls near the windows.

One of the simplest ways to increase air humidity is to set the width and length of the sill of the box, the best of which is galvanized or plastic. It poured fine gravel or coarse-grained sand and poured a small amount of water, which put pots with plants. Humidify the air and spray the water from the spray. An ideal place for growing plants, including vegetables, especially in the autumn and early spring periods, are slightly heated glazed verandas, loggias, terraces, a winter garden or a light greenhouse.

The greenhouse can be made by yourself, depending on the configurations of your premises, and it is best that the special work is done by the master. It is recommended to equip the glazed rooms with a ventilation and watering system, and also if additional heat is needed to protect the heat, additional film shelters. To protect plants from short-term night frosts or from overheating during the day, especially in spring, it is necessary to build climbing curtains or mats.

To provide plants with maximum light conditions on windows, glazed verandas, it is recommended to make dismountable shelves and racks of different levels, on which pots or boxes with seedlings are installed. On the lower tier you can place planted cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants.

For the cultivation and distilling of plants that do not require a lot of light, or for forcing onions, celery and similar crops, shelves or shelves are set up in the dark places of the apartment away from heating sources.
