There\u2019s people all around you, always something to do, quirky places to live, and\u2026 no room to plant anything. If you have a green thumb (or just want to successfully not kill a cactus), this can be really frustrating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, urban gardening is so trendy you can buy plants everywhere from the neighborhood grocery store to your block\u2019s bodega. And it doesn\u2019t matter how much space you have &#8211; whether your home has a yard or you just have room for a few potted plants in your living room, urban gardening is for everyone. We\u2019ll show you which flora make the best plants for apartments and give you some tips on how to plan the perfect urban garden. Whether you\u2019re ready to get crazy with cacti or plant some outrageous organic veggies, we\u2019ve got your urban garden questions covered.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>No Room for a Garden? Then These are the Best Plants for Apartments<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have outdoor space of your own (or just aren\u2019t ready to commit to a whole garden yet), you can still decorate your apartment space with plenty of greenery. In fact, some plants do better in apartments than outside &#8211; here are a few to get your green thumb going:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Paddle Plants<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhrT6xQjkWZ\/?tagged=paddleplant\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhrT6xQjkWZ\/?tagged=paddleplant<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paddle plants are great starter apartment plants. These sweet succulents thrive in indirect light and only require a light amount of water every few days. Even if you forget to ask your roommate to water them while you\u2019re on vacation, they\u2019ll still be fine when you get home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Peace Lilies<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bh5mZzflt6x\/?tagged=peacelily\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bh5mZzflt6x\/?tagged=peacelily<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you may be used to seeing lilies as difficult outdoor plants, peace lilies are perfect if you want a more sophisticated plant that works well indoors. Peace lilies are one of the few plants that grows under low, fluorescent lighting, so they\u2019re ideal for corners away from your window that need some brightening.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Snake Plants<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bh3JVXMD-mg\/?tagged=snakeplants\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bh3JVXMD-mg\/?tagged=snakeplants<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way to keep a snake plant thriving? Do nothing. You only need to water them when the soil is totally dry (which could take days or weeks), and they\u2019re fine in indirect or direct sunlight. Stick \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcem in a pot, water, walk away, and wait for some new apartment greenery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Lavender<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3064\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pexels-photo-271754-lavender-apartment-plants-succulents-in-the-city-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pexels-photo-271754-lavender-apartment-plants-succulents-in-the-city-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pexels-photo-271754-lavender-apartment-plants-succulents-in-the-city-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pexels-photo-271754-lavender-apartment-plants-succulents-in-the-city-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pexels-photo-271754-lavender-apartment-plants-succulents-in-the-city.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t need endless fields of green and purple to grow lavender, just a few small planters. Lavender plants smell delightful and are a nice addition to your home aesthetic &#8211; just make sure to buy small ones so you don\u2019t find your lavender growing out of control.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Weeping Figs<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhywvNjj-R_\/?tagged=weepingfig\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhywvNjj-R_\/?tagged=weepingfig<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cForever Young\u201d is the Weeping Fig\u2019s favorite song, because these little fellas (which can range from actually little to overly large) live long lives &#8211; sometimes as long as the humans who cultivate them. Just make sure you water this one &#8211; they\u2019re not quite as independent as snake plants, and require regular watering to thrive. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Meyer Lemon Trees<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BYdQSQzlPbw\/?tagged=meyerlemontree\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BYdQSQzlPbw\/?tagged=meyerlemontree<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve always wanted a fruit tree but don\u2019t have the space, the Meyer Lemon Tree is your perfect match. It\u2019s small, flowery, and produces fresh lemons when it\u2019s in season. It\u2019s a step up from the easier apartment plants, so it does require some extra care, but it will still thrive in a brightly-lit spot in your urban home. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Have More Space to Plant? Here\u2019s How to Plan an Urban Garden<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re more ambitious and have a bit more space, you can take your horticulture skills to the next level. Urban gardening, whether it\u2019s just a few window boxes or a full section of your yard, can help you feel like the city\u2019s concrete jungle is a forest fantasy. All you need is a few good urban gardening ideas &#8211; and these steps to planning a perfect urban garden: <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>#1: Decide How Large (or Small) Your Urban Garden is Going to Be<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3065\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pots-plants-cactus-succulent-in-the-city-1024x602.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pots-plants-cactus-succulent-in-the-city-1024x602.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pots-plants-cactus-succulent-in-the-city-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pots-plants-cactus-succulent-in-the-city-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/pots-plants-cactus-succulent-in-the-city.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figure out the space you have to work with &#8211; do you have a full backyard you can use?

There are a lot of urban garden ideas out there, so it\u2019s important to decide what you\u2019re going for. While it would be nice to grow a little bit of everything, space and soil will likely limit you to just one or two focus points for your garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>#3.
