What types of plants are best for indoor gardening?
Herbs, succulents, pothos, snake plants, and peace lilies are great options as they adapt well to indoor conditions and require minimal maintenance.
Can I successfully grow vegetables indoors?
Yes, many vegetables can thrive indoors, particularly those that require less space, such as lettuce, spinach, and radishes.
