Indoor Gardening & Houseplant Ideas
Cupped Plants
Don't let the thought of taking care of potted plants scare you. In this nifty idea, the plants are basically set into tiny little cup holder looking planters. A wide misconception with potted plants is that you need to have large pots in order to keep the plants healthy. It is true that plants do tend to grow bigger and stronger in larger pots, but depending on what you want to plant, tiny pots with quality potting soil should work, as well. Herbs and other tiny plants and even some vegetables do very well in small pots.
Indoor Atrium
If you have a spare room or area to utilize, you can't go wrong with a gorgeous indoor atrium. Even a home or apartment that has a porched area could easily be turned into an atrium. You really just need a covered area that you can easily close off. If you don't already have an existing room, you can add some trellis or fencing along the edges to give the illusion of a closed off garden room. Atriums are as elegant as you want to make them and can be decorated up or down depending on your décor preference.
Window Herbs
Herbs do exceptionally well in small planters. Anything, even a mug, can be used to house herbs, basically. In this photo, tiny colored pots hold delicate herbs basking in the sunlight on this windowsill. You could place as many planters as your windowsill could hold in this case. Since the planters are also in an area you'd see everyday (a good spot is the kitchen sink window) you would easily remember to water them and look after them on a day to day basis. Some herbs need less water than others, so make sure to keep that in mind as well.
Herb Wreath

This just goes to show how versatile herbs are. You can literally house them in a wreath and they'll do just fine! This is a really creative concept, actually. All you'd need is a decorative, sturdy wreath, tiny pots, seedlings or seeds and any type of decoration you'd want to use on the wreath. Hot glue should work well enough if the pots are tiny, but it's always a good idea to enforce anything on the wreath with some garden ties or wire. Imagine guests coming to your front door to see a lush garden wreath greeting them? It's a fun, creative idea.

Air Garden
An air garden is a super cute way to house a succulent or cactus in a suspended ball of glass.

These types of glass vases are extremely delicate, but they would look absolutely fabulous hanging in different areas of your house. You might want to make sure, if using several of these vases, to make sure they are spaced far apart from each other if using them outdoors since an especially windy day could lead them crashing into each other and breaking.

Indoor Hanging Garden Ideas
Freestyle Plants
Half the beauty about having plants indoors is that they can still grow the way they want. Anyone who has had creeping vines or ferns can attest to this. These plants simply look better when left to roam as they please. I'm not saying make room for a jungle in your home, per se, more like make sure you carve out some space you don't mind these kinds of plants creeping on. Vines are the best because their natural instinct is to latch onto their surroundings, so this creates some pretty interesting textures to whichever area they're in.
Hydroponic Garden
Creating a hydroponic garden space is a great way to have your own hanging garden. Hydroponic gardens stimulate root growth on their own, so there isn't much you need to do as far as care and concern. You do, obviously, need to make sure the water supply is sufficient and that the space you are using has adequate sunlight, but other than that, these types of gardens take care of themselves. This would look great in a corner or against a kitchen wall for fresh herbs all year long.
Hanging Vegetable Baskets
Using those great recycled drink bottles, you can easily create your own hanging garden. You can set this up in either an indoor pantry area (one that has sunlight, obviously) or even against a bright kitchen wall. This is a fantastic way to watch over your herbs and have them easily accessible for whenever you need some fresh thyme or cilantro. People are discovering the joy of harvesting their own fresh herbs more frequently these days, and this idea brings the concept easily into your own home.
Wall Planters
Here's a great idea for an indoor wall garden – easily create your own wall of planters that exude ambient light from behind them. This is fantastic because if you're willing to put in the time and money to create the space, you can set this wall up anywhere. Due to the ambient light, the planters will be able to hold all kinds of plant that can get sufficient artificial sunlight. This type of wall would look great across a foyer or even down a hallway.
Light Planters
Incorporate lights and planters with this interesting concept. By adding a planting reservoir off of a hanging lamp, you can easily set up your own hanging garden that is a sight to behold. Obviously you'd have to make sure nothing can cause any sort of electric current going where it shouldn't be, but this idea should be relatively simple to setup if you're careful. Since the planters are located right beneath the light, there's no need to worry about your plants not receiving adequate light.
Hanging Baskets
You just can't go wrong with hanging basket planters. You can easily fill these types of baskets with any kind of plant or flowering plant you prefer. What's great about these concepts is how easily you can customize them. You can fill your space with huge, flowering plants or keep it simple with smaller, hanging votive vases that house fresh herbs. Whatever your preference, there's a reason why hanging planters are such a huge hit and a typical go-to when it comes to fresh greenery indoors.
Vertical Garden
Here's a great idea for a vertical garden that not only looks unique, but will surely provide you with all the fresh herbs you want! Even if you prefer to use a garden idea like this for something other than herbs, it's a great look that will draw much attention. I appreciate the bold blue color of these particular planters, but of course you can switch up the colors for whatever you like best. This would look great in a kitchen or dining room area – almost like a living spice rack!
Earth Bowl
Learn More
Many people prefer to use these natural looking earth bowls as planter holders because they look absolutely fabulous.

These look particularly great in an outdoor garden area or hanging in an indoor garden space. Even about your kitchen sink, these planters are truly unique and bring so much décor into the space. You can find a variety of shapes and sizes in most garden stores or online.
Upscale Light Bulb Planters
Learn More
This is a great idea for a planter, but definitely a project that you'd have to go about carefully. I'm assuming you can't use just any kind of light bulb for this project. You'd probably have to use a heavy duty bulb with thick glass in order to make a circular opening without shattering the light bulb completely. This is another great project to execute when you're feeling green and just want to recycle something to create something beautiful.
Hanging Pots
Learn More
Hanging pots are adorable and so easy to create. In this picture, a double rod planter setup is taking place as the sun beats down gently on these potted plants. This is another great way to incorporate those easy to use rods and make your own planter space. This is an idea that would look best in a kitchen window or maybe even in a bathroom window. Whatever the space, these pots can be easily customizable by shape, size and color. The possibilities are endless.
