Introduction to Indoor Gardening Hi youtube, we are a group of Hwa Chong students doing a project on indoor gardening. In this video, we will be talking about the basics of indoor gardening....

Just a nugget of information:

The first people who started indoor gardening was the Chinese and then spread to Japanese culture. The Japanese called them bonsai

I cannot stress the benefits of indoor plants any more.

At home:
Studies: indoor plant can make your home less dull and make it more lively. Also, green can help you calm down better as it is a cool colour. They remive toxins such a formadelhyde and xylene from furniture that can cause health problems. Indoor plants can create an environment that is conducive for learning and studies.
Bedroom: some types of plants release oxygen at night, enabling you to have a better sleep. Plants can humidify your room, remove dust as well as lower your bedroom's interior temperature, so you do not need to turn on the air condition.
Kitchen: indoor vegetables can be a ready source of food, they are easier to tend and you can save the hassle of going to the supermarket to find food.
Living room: you can consider green walls which is a good living ornament and it also helps to freshen up your air, and provide content for discussion for gatherings
Aquariums: as we know from science lessons indoor plants and fishes work in a symbiotic manner. Indoor plants provide oxygen and food for the fishes while the fishes can defecate and provide fertilizer and provide carbon dioxide for plants to photosynthesise. Fishes can also eat up the larvae and eggs of dengue mosquitoes.

At the office:
Workplace: may absorb radiation from computers and freshens up the air. Also it can be relaxing to water the plants. Indoor plants can boost productivity greatly.
Meetings: putting an indoor plant can stimulate positive feelings, care and creativity at the workplace.
Functions and events: putting indoor plants is a good ornamental technique to make the place more lively.

In school:
In overall, indoor plants can help clean the air of the classroom, and provide psychological benefits such as stimulating creativity, enthusiasm, and care among the students.

Hi, we have 3 days before our pilot test ends. While you have the free time do not forget to like s=and share our page and our website!

Your help can benefit a greater number of youths to come into contact with indoor gardening, which will benefit their health and thinking.

: Instead of confessing to your HCI confession page, try talking to your indoor plant. There will be no backlash (if there is nobody listening or spying you at he scene :P )

If you are growing plants and your parents tell you that plants are a waste of time and energy, you tell them that according to a university research plants can improve thinking and can help to improve my exam results.

You can feel the leaves of the plants and enjoy that waxy feeling, you can smell the flowers, you can taste the fruits that your plants bear, and you can see the greenery through plants.

But here is one thing that our ears cannot detect in our daily lives.

Plants make music.

Wherever you go, whenever you open your eyes, you will see this depending on the era you live:

At least 2 centuries ago: When you wake up from a sleep you can at least see the sky, and green valleys, trees, meadows and river. You are basking in the sea of greenery and the warmth of sun

Now: After you got up from a nap, all you can see that we are drowning in a sea of concrete, and the plants are nothing more than patches trying to make up for the lack of liveliness, greenery and healthy living. What you will do the first thing is to glance at the (usually empty) ceiling or engage with your metallic companions (i.e. your devices such as computers and phones)

Obesity is on the rise, bad habits are increasing, conditions that we won't even have to worry about in the past are appearing.

Do you see people tapping their phones for half a day, or tending their plants in half a day?

How about let us narrow the scope of the people to teenagers nowadays? How many of our teenagers grow plants, surely there are not a lot.

When asked why teenagers do not even want to do the simple task of indoor gardening, they say they do not have knowledge of it. And that is why our project starts.

Teenagers are native to the world of information technology. So we will use their native technological world to encourage them to be brave enough to step out of technology and do something that will benefit our bodies and health for once.

We are having an information website to educate teenagers on indoor gardening. We need to inspire people nowadays to be more enthusiastic about plants as we are solely dependent on the oxygen and food plants give to live a healthy life.

If you are tired of machines, or noticing that you can live a day without technology, let us do something nice for a change.

Let us grow indoor plants. Don't worry it is not a waste of time. You can improve your health, and you can perform better at studies when you grow plants. You will not be easily bored anymore.

Plants cannot talk, plants cannot speak, but they have their interesting worlds of their own. They demand lesser attention and respects your privacy more than your animal friends. They will teach you that it is inner beauty that matters. Even cute rabbits demand a lot of care otherwise you will be heartbroken if they die of inadequate care.

Your life matters. Get a plant, get a life.

If you find this post is useful, like it, and share it to your youthful friends. The future of Singapore depends on the action of our Singaporean youths.
