The expert talked about suitable conditions for plants.
In winter, fresh herbs and vegetables can be successfully grown on the windowsill if suitable crops are selected and optimal conditions are created, said gardener Nadezhda Kashnova.
According to the expert, green onions, which can simply be placed in a glass of water, parsley and dill grown from seeds, lettuce, compact cherry tomatoes, hot peppers, and dwarf citrus fruits — lemon, mandarin, kumquat — are suitable for a home garden.
An important condition is additional lighting with phytolamps, necessary due to the short daylight hours. The optimal temperature for most plants should be 20–25 degrees.
In addition, it is essential to ensure regular but moderate watering to prevent the soil from drying out or becoming overly wet, as well as to provide feeding with special fertilizers for houseplants, she concluded.
