Indoor fairy gardens are easy to create and equally easy to grow indoors, providing you use the
right plants, give the gardens proper lighting and maintain them.
In the first in this series of growing magical miniature indoor fairy gardens, let’s talk about plant
options.
Indoor Fairy Garden Plants
The type of plant you grow indoors for fairy gardens makes a big difference as to how well
you’ll do with indoor fairy gardening. Keep in mind, also, that choosing plants that stay
miniature is also important. If you grow plants that will soon outgrow the pot, you’re going to
need to repot sooner than later.
When choosing your indoor fairy garden plants, look for plants that tend to stay small, such as
Cuphea ‘La Chiquita’, pink polka dot plant (Hypoestes `Pink Splash’), mini succulents, such as
various sedums, and herbs, like the many varieties of thyme, as well as rosemary. You can also
go with baby palm trees, which will grow fairly slowly, but at some point will need to be
replaced. The neanthe bella (parlor) palm is one good choice.
