Indoor gardening can be a fun way to enjoy the growing season year-round. I know my indoor garden is a huge source of joy for me, especially in the winter months. Whether you're growing succulents, veggies, or you have an herb garden, you want your house plants to be healthy all year, which can sometimes seem difficult. An indoor greenhouse is a great way to keep your small plants alive and even encourage more plant growth when the days are colder and shorter.
Plants will stay much warmer in a mini indoor greenhouse than sitting on a windowsill, particularly if the weather outside is dropping to colder temps. While building an outdoor greenhouse may be a big project, you can still keep your plants happy with a small portable greenhouse that you keep in your home.
