Why you can't grow garden flowers at home: Different conditions

Most garden flowers look amazing, so people who aren't into gardening want to grow them inside their houses.

While it seems that it won't be too much different, it is - because most flowers just can't survive there.

Let's find out, why.

Sunlight requirements

Indoor environments often have lower light levels compared to outdoor conditions. 

While some flowering plants can tolerate lower light conditions, many require several hours of direct or bright indirect sunlight daily, which may be challenging to provide indoors.

Space limitations

Indoor containers or pots may not offer the same space as open garden beds, which can restrict the growth and development of certain flowers. 

Temperature and humidity

Indoor environments generally have more controlled temperatures than outdoor conditions. 

Some garden flowers have specific temperature requirements and may not thrive or bloom properly without exposure to the appropriate temperature ranges. 

Pollination limitations

Outdoor garden flowers often rely on natural pollinators like bees, butterflies, and other insects for pollination. 

Indoor environments may lack the presence of these natural pollinators, making it necessary to manually pollinate flowers to ensure successful reproduction and fruit/seed development.

Soil and drainage considerations

Indoor pots or containers need proper drainage holes to prevent waterlogging, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot and other issues.
