Houseplants are great for any home. They provide a touch of nature to your living space, and they release positive gasses that improve air quality indoors. Did you know that some plants are out in your garden that can grow well in your house? This article will go over some of those plants.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are a great plant to grow indoors, as they provide fresh vegetables year-round. You can even save your tomato plants from the winter by bringing them indoors. There are many health benefits to eating tomatoes. They are a great source of antioxidants and vitamin C. Tomatoes also lower blood pressure and improve insulin sensitivity and digestive health. You’ll need a sunny spot in your house or a grow light to grow healthy tomatoes, and you should fertilize them once a month.
Lavender
Most people grow lavender outdoors, but this plant does well indoors. It’s important to keep it away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Lavender is a great way to add some color and life to your house while also providing you with several health benefits, such as stress relief and improved sleep. You can use lavender in many ways inside the home, including making homemade cleaning products or creating an aromatherapy room spray that will improve air quality when used regularly. The flowers from this plant can also be dried and used in cooking recipes or simply placed around your home as decoration!
Lettuce
This green leafy vegetable is full of vitamins A, K, B-complexes, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, and folate – all very important micronutrients our bodies need every day. If you’re not growing lettuce outside in the garden this summer or your outdoor crop didn’t do so well last winter, simply bring it inside for the colder months ahead! Lettuce is a great option to grow inside because it doesn’t require a lot of light or water, and it’s easy to harvest leaves from. You can grow lettuce in soil or water (if you have a sunny window sill).
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a very versatile plant that can grow well in various conditions. This succulent is well-known for its healing properties when applied topically to the skin. Aloe vera gel is effective in treating burns, sunburns, psoriasis, cold sores, and more. But what many people don’t know is that aloe vera is also great for your gut health!
This plant helps improve digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. It also helps fight inflammation in the gut, leading to leaky gut syndrome. You can cut off leaves from your aloe vera plants and place them directly on the skin for fast relief, or you can drink it as an herbal tea to improve gut health!
Jasmine
You can even grow beautiful flowers inside your home! Jasmines are a great choice because their flowers smell amazing and look stunningly beautiful. They need bright sunlight to flower well, so place them in the sunniest window of your house during springtime when you want to have their blooms outside before winter comes around again. Jasmine also has a lot of health benefits, such as antioxidant and antibacterial properties. It also helps improve blood pressure, fight cancer cells, and lower anxiety levels by decreasing cortisol in the body.
Strawberries
Who doesn’t love fresh strawberries? These little berries are not only delicious, but they’re also healthy for you. Strawberries are a good source of antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber. They also contain ellagic acid, which helps to fight cancer cells. You can grow strawberries indoors by using a soil-less potting mix and placing them in a bright spot with plenty of direct sunlight. Even though you usually think about them as fruit, they are part of the rose family and grow on
Peas
Peas are another super healthy plant you can grow indoors. They’re packed with protein, fiber, and vitamin C, but they also contain omega fatty acids, which help lower LDL cholesterol levels in the body. You don’t need a ton of space to make room for these plants either!
Pea plants are great container garden options because their tall vines do not require much horizontal space at all. The best time to harvest peas is when the pods are plump and full before the seeds inside have fully formed (before it turns yellow). Pick them every two days or so until that happens, then dry them out completely in an oven over low heat on some parchment paper, so they stay fresh longer without spoiling.
