How to grow fruit indoors
May 28th, 2009
Growing fruit indoors seems a bit strange but it’s perfectly doable if you have a nice sunny window and the right container. Strawberries and raspberries, for example, are quite suited to life in a hanging basket or barrel, while indoor fruit trees, as you’d expect, are specifically developed to thrive indoors.
Dwarf citrus trees
These are miniature versions of the outdoor variety, and most species are pretty hardy and easy to care for. Dwarf citrus trees are a popular choice in the UK and can fruit all year round. For the best results, place them in a sunny spot, keep the compost moist and feed according to the instructions.
Berries
Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries are all great choices for the indoor gardener. They will grow in many different types of container as long as you’ve got good drainage. Make sure you choose the right variety for your environment.
