Indoor gardening has become a popular trend for a lot of gardening enthusiasts without enough space to practice it. Besides using the standard potted plants, here are some more interesting indoor garden ideas you should try out today effortlessly.

Rolling Cart Succulent Planter – Yes, the bar cart trend might have faded away but with a rolling car succulent planter, you’re still an indoor gardener. You can add some mesh for drainage purposes and add soil to the compartments. Lay moss on the surface then choose various succulents and flowers for the best results.

Mason Jar Herb Garden – You can’t go wrong with using glass jars for your indoor garden. Well, you can creatively use them to create an amazing art piece rather than the regular mason jars being placed in the window sill.

For instance, you can create a wall-mounted mason jar herb garden. Get a piece of wood and nail clamps on it then add the jars on to these clamps securely.

Concrete Geometric Planters – You can create beautiful concrete containers for your indoor garden effortlessly. Pour the mixed concrete into cut and folded cardboard. For drainage, make sure the cardboard has tabs before the concrete hardens.

You can remove the cardboard and paint the rim with whichever paint you choose then add soil and your preferred plants.

Leather Plant Hanger – Yes, you might be in love with your favorite leather armchair but there are many more things you can do with leather, including a few ideas for your indoor garden. Using a pair of scissors cut up a few leather scraps and string them with rope. Add a pot, hang it up and fill it with your favorite plant.

Pop-Top Herb Garden – Here you don’t need any gardening or DIY skills to pull this little masterpiece off. Get any standard can and use a can opener to open it. Remove the label, clean both the inside and outside. Add potting soil and some seeds and wait for your plants to grow.

Macramé Hanging Planters – Macramé, although a retro perspective, has started being reclaimed in interior design. That’s why it’s also become quite popular in indoor gardening too.

You can make it a DIY project by using clothesline rope to create concentric knots. Set the potted plants in the middle and add hooks to the rope to dangle the pots from the ceiling. It’s an idea that will revamp any space and allow you to practice your gardening skills anywhere.

Faux-Stone Planters – Stone planters are quite common for both indoor and outdoor gardening. However, these are not regular stones. You can craft faux stones using polymer clay to create the most magnificent shape.

The texture of the stone can be recreated using grated spices. The stones can be pressed together to create a bowl, baked and filled with moss and succulent plants for the best indoor garden look.

Keep in mind that whichever idea you choose for your indoor garden, it needs to have proper drainage to avoid drying out the plants.
