There are millions of people around the world trapped in their apartments or houses. One person, two people, or a family with children. Some are on forced vacations, others work remotely and spend hours in front of their computers. The enclosed space and the flow of negative information create anxiety and fear.
In isolation, we all look for ways to distract ourselves from anxious thoughts: movies, books, board games, online concerts, audiobooks, general cleaning.
Gardening is one way to cheer us up. Such a useful and enjoyable pastime is great for someone who finds themselves alone, families with children, people who work remotely, and those who don’t know what to do.
So what can you do in the gardening in pandemic without leaving your apartment or house? All the necessary gardening supplies can be selected and ordered from the online store and delivered to your door: seeds, bulbs, compost, flowers, fertilizers, pots, containers, gardening tools, watering cans for watering flowers.
Houseplants – the oasis in your apartment
Houseplants are more than just window flowers; they are filters that make the air healthier and create a healthier environment. If you’re stuck in your apartment, now is the time to take care of your “green” pets. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we sometimes even forget to water our planters. Now we have time to take care of those little details. Light housekeeping is a great way to relieve stress.
- Water and sprinkle all the houseplants in your home.
- Fertilize your plants. It’s best to use an all-purpose fertilizer in liquid or dry form, but there are alternatives: compost, humus, sugar, or yeast.
- Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe away dust and dirt from the smooth leaves of your houseplants, and a soft-bristled brush or special brush to brush off pubescent leaves. Gently wash fine-leaved or curly green plants under the tap or shower. This is a very important procedure. Dust blocks the path of sunlight, slows photosynthesis, impedes air exchange, and can harbor parasites.
- Clean dust and salt from the ground and wipe down trays and planters.
- Check to see if plants have grown out of their pots and it may be time to report.
- Check that your plants are properly placed. Perhaps some plants need to be placed closer to the sun, while others, on the contrary, should be kept out of direct spring light. You can also place some plants in a glassed-in log cabin, or on an insulated balcony.
- Remove any yellowing and damaged leaves and trim off the dry parts of the plant. Did you know that removing the dry stems or trimming off the dry parts of an orchid can help it bloom again?
Make a green friend or create a work of artÂ
If you don’t have flowers yet, now is the time to buy one.
Choose and order plants or flowers. Find a good pot that fits your apartment. If you have a balcony, purchase containers or special baskets in which to plant seeds. With the arrival of warmth, these plants will decorate your balcony and keep you happy all summer long.
Instead of ordering adult plants, you can order seeds, propagules, or bulbs. If you plant dahlia or lily bulbs now, you will have beautiful flowers by summer. Flowering beautiful geraniums are easy to grow from seed, even if you are doing it for the first time.
In fact, your choices are limited only by your imagination and time. You can create entire arrangements of miniature houseplants, succulents, and cacti in your aquarium. Step-by-step instructions are available on the Internet. This is a true art and you will need patience, creativity, and attention to detail. But perhaps now is the best time for this kind of creativity. The results will amaze and delight you and your loved ones.
Mini vegetable garden on the windowsill – a source of vitamins and motivation
Even if you don’t have a garden, you can grow vegetables, berries, or herbs. Create a mini vegetable garden on your windowsill or balcony. If you have children, do it with them. Children who are deprived of walks and daily opportunities to observe wildlife will find it useful and fun to watch the shoots sprout. Can you imagine how a toddler feels when he picks a small tomato from his watered bush? And for adults, planting and watching plants grow will have a beneficial effect. You are letting life and nature into your home and your heart.
You can grow cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, beans, radishes, green onions, lettuce, celery, basil, mint, and even strawberries together in your home. Before buying seeds, research information about the varieties to choose from and the conditions you need to create for your plants. For example, cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers like sunlight, while carrots do not like direct sunlight. A room with tomatoes can be safely ventilated, while bell peppers fear ventilation. All these points are best considered in advance.
Second life or last tips for green plants in supermarkets
You must have bought potted herbs before and they go straight into your salad. Did you know that it can be grown? Order spicy herbs or potted herbs along with other groceries. Remove the plants from their plastic pots and carefully divide the herbs and roots with the soil in two parts. Plant each bundle in its own large pot with well-moistened soil. The plants will sprout and you will always have fresh herbs. If you decide to create a mini vegetable garden on your windowsill, then add these greens there as well.
Whether you choose to buy just one plant or start a vegetable garden on your windowsill, we wish you good health and happy life! Spend your time with benefits and take care of yourself!
