Don’t let apartment living hold you back from creating a garden that you want. Bring the outdoors inside or bring your balcony to life by incorporating some greenery into your home. Opt for a statement palm or create a little jungle by mixing and matching plants, pots and foliage.

Here are some easy ideas to bring a touch of colour to your home with style

 The ultimate low maintenance option? Grow your plants in water! Here is how...

Hydroponic gardening has become incredibly popular as advancements in gardening allow us to grow plants and food in places we’ve never thought possible as evident in the beautiful vertical gardens at Central Park.

Transfer Plants from Soil into Water
Remove the plant from the pot and remove as much dirt as you can from its roots.

Making New Plants
Clip off a segment from the existing plant and place it in a jar filled with water. Make sure you cut below the leaf, called the leaf node.

Pebbles in Water Gardens
Make sure pebbles are properly rinsed. Place a layer on the bottom of the container as a base and hold the plant over the container to carefully spread the roots across the pebbles. Once the roots are in place, gently fill the container up with your pebbles/stones.

Water
Tap water just fine, but remember, it’s void of any nutrients so add liquid fertilizer to the plant or use bottled spring water. Plan to change your water once per month.

Container
Basically, any transparent glass jar will do to providing the roots with some light.

Houseplants Or Herbs
Classic houseplants will thrive without soil as do herbs.. Mint, oregano, basil and rosemary are fast growing indoor herbs. Lavender and Sage are also great herbs for growing indoors.
