Some fruits can be grown indoors.
Avocado
Surprisingly, avocados can be grown indoors.
These trees can thrive in any hardiness zone and make for a low-maintenance houseplant.
However, patience is key, as it can take up to ten years for an avocado tree to bear fruit indoors.
Citrus
You don't need a garden to grow citrus fruits indoors. Simply choose a sunny spot and plant a lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit tree in a pot.
Be careful not to overwater, as you want your fruit to develop properly.
Opt for self-pollinating varieties like Meyer lemons, unless you have a colony of bees to assist.
Figs
Not all fig varieties are suitable for indoor growth, but some can thrive in indoor conditions.
These smaller varieties typically grow to about three to four feet tall and do well in containers.
They adapt easily to indoor climates and require about six to eight hours of sunlight daily.
Strawberries
Strawberries are a popular choice for indoor gardening, often grown in pots or hanging containers.
While some may hesitate due to the potential for fruit flies, the benefit of having fresh berries nearly year-round is significant.
You can start by planting strawberry seeds in moist, shallow soil or by purchasing and replanting established plants.
Banana
Transform your living room into a tropical paradise with a dwarf banana tree.
These unique plants can be purchased online and should be misted regularly to mimic their preferred humid environment.
Expect to see clusters of edible fruits that are as delightful to look at as they are to eat.
