Gardening is really fun and relaxing. It adds a little bit of greenery to your house and an immense amount of positive vibrance around you. With all the nature and freshness in the house, there won't be any other place better than your house. Well, if you want to get into gardening, besides the basics of growing and taking care of your plants, you'll need some tools to take care of your plants. So, let's talk about such essential tools for indoor gardening. 

Hand fork

You'll need to turn and loosen the soil sometimes to keep your plant healthy. And for this, you'll need a hand fork that is easy to hold and handle. Make sure it won't be much heavy as it becomes difficult to use in tiny pots. Also, ensure the tines of the fork are strong enough; so that, they won't break while using. 

Pruners

Pruners are essential no matter what type of plant you're planting. You can easily cut off the dead stems and leaves, or you can easily cut the stem to propagate it into another pot. Ensure the pruners are sharp enough to cut the stems and roots neatly. 

Small indoor watering can

Unless you have turned your spare room or garage into a garden, you won't need a huge watering can. So, get yourself a smaller indoor watering can that will do the work. Get one with a long spout because that will help you get the water-fed delicately right into the center of the plants, avoiding the water splashing off the leaves, which would only waste the water. 

Gloves

You'll have to do a lot of household chores from cleaning to cooking besides gardening. So, to avoid the transfer of bacteria and dirt to any other places, make sure to wear gloves best if made up of rubber. Wearing gloves will also help you avoid the cuts and scars from stones and thorns. 

Pots and planters

Pots and planters are the must on the list. You cannot have an indoor garden without pots. And, if you like having a jolly environment, do look for beautiful and decorative pots and planters. 

Spray bottle

Not all plants need a good dose of watering. Plenty is going to do just fine misted on occasion, with other types favoring a daily misting. So, with a spray bottle, you can spray water to such plants in your free time. 

Trays or pot base

Every soil-based plant has a hole at the bottom of the pot to throw out the excess water. So, to avoid the mess created by such plants, place some tray or pot base at the bottom of the plant.
