An indoor witch garden is a magical and enchanting space that allows witches to cultivate and nurture their magical plants and herbs indoors. This type of garden is perfect for witches who don't have access to an outdoor garden or live in urban areas with limited space. Creating an indoor witch garden requires careful planning and consideration of the plants and herbs you want to grow. It's important to choose plants that align with your magical intentions and have the ability to thrive indoors. Some popular choices include lavender for purification, rosemary for protection, and mint for healing. When setting up your indoor witch garden, consider using pots or containers that are aesthetically pleasing and complement the magical vibe you want to create.
We have a small orchard, three apple trees, because what’s a witch without apples? Holly bushes for the druid in everyone, English Ivy because it creeps so nicely and makes everything look like a cemetery, and Wysteria because it grows wild, blows the mind with its scent and is quite destructive over time.
The aforementioned Datura and Brugmansia would work for that, but a true potion will have a bit more variety, such as Belladonna, or Deadly Nightshade, and this year I ve also added Monkshood, a delightful plant where even touching the leaves can cause a severe skin reaction. For the uninitiated, the potion typically requires plants which are often deadly when taken internally, and psychedelic if absorbed through the skin.
When setting up your indoor witch garden, consider using pots or containers that are aesthetically pleasing and complement the magical vibe you want to create. You can also add crystals, statues, or other magical objects to enhance the energy of your garden. In addition to the plants themselves, lighting is a crucial element for a successful indoor witch garden.
10 Magickal Plants to Grow Indoors
Last week I wrote a post about the garden I have in my apartment patio and you guys loved it! I’ll be honest, I was a little surprised by how many views and comments that post already has. So I’ve decided to expand the post into a series focused on feeling magickal in a small living space.
As a companion to my patio garden, I thought I’d start off with a little indoor gardening since I know a lot of you who live in apartments and cities don’t necessarily have more than a windowsill to hold your gardens. First, I’m going to give you a tour of my indoor plants and then we’ll discuss magickal houseplants you can grow too!
Indoor Garden Tour
Now, I don’t have as many indoor plants as I would like because my apartment gets very little direct sunlight. It’s nice and bright but with almost entirely East facing windows in the whole house (with the exception of one North facing), there’s not a lot of light getting into the nooks and crannies.
However, I do like to have some greenery around so I have this little trooper on the kitchen table:
I bought the spider plant to sit on the end of a tall cabinet but it very nearly shriveled up and died from the lack of sunlight. Once we finally moved it to the window, voila! It almost immediately sprouted babies.
The only plant in the house that doesn’t seem to mind the lack of direct sunlight is the succulent we have over the kitchen sink. I had a few tiny succulents and decided it was a great idea to plant one of them in a votive candle holder I had hung on the wall. I really didn’t expect it to survive, frankly, but I thought it would look nice for a while. Much to my surprise, despite no water drainage and no sunlight, the plant has grown about six inches in the past three months and since has sprouted a second branch. A bit of magick perhaps?
I’ll be honest, there is also an ivy plant in our kitchen but I’m not sharing a picture of it because, well because as of yesterday, it’s officially been declared beyond saving. Not sure what killed it because it was doing fine, we changed nothing, and then it slowly started dying with no hope for revival. What can I say? My green thumb only reaches so far.
The key to indoor gardening is really just trial and error – seeing what plants work in your space and how you and your space feel about certain plants.
It also helps to, you know, water them once in a while.
Upstairs in my bedroom, I have a terrarium of succulents which you’ve seen before because it also functions as the Earth element on my altar:
Last but not least, I have a small green houseplant next to my bed which honestly, I think is so important. Even though I felt like I had decorated my room, I had lived there for almost five months before I finally got any plants in my bedroom and as soon as I did, I had this totally unexpected sense of completion. All of a sudden, my space felt whole, as if the room had been missing that element of life.
Plus, I fell in love with this planter at Target and had to find something to thrive in it!
I also can’t overemphasize the power of cut flowers. Although it may not seem as magickal to go to your local flower shop and purchase a bouquet as it would to, a) grow them yourself or b) gather them in a softly sunlit field, having flowers in the house is proven to uplift spirits. Even if it’s just a single stem in a bud vase, flowers will make a huge difference in your mood and your magick.
So without further rambling, what plants can you grow in your apartment or small space?
Ivy is just so beautiful and witchy, I’d love a house covered with it one day!
Most plants require at least six hours of sunlight per day, so placing your garden near a window or using artificial grow lights can help mimic natural sunlight. To maintain the health of your indoor witch garden, make sure to provide adequate water and humidity for your plants. Avoid overwatering and ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot. Regularly check for pests and diseases and take appropriate measures to address any issues that arise. An indoor witch garden is not just a place to grow plants, but also a sacred space for magical rituals and spellwork. Many witches use their garden as a focal point for meditation, spellcasting, and connecting with nature. Spending time in your garden can help you tap into your intuition, enhance your magical abilities, and create a sense of calm and harmony. Overall, an indoor witch garden is a beautiful and meaningful way for witches to connect with nature, practice their craft, and cultivate magic within their own homes. With the right plants, care, and intention, your indoor witch garden can become a powerful and enchanting sanctuary..
Reviews for "Rituals and Celebrations in Your Indoor Witch Garden"
1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the "Indoor witch garden." The plants they included in the kit were tiny and looked nothing like the pictures. Additionally, the instructions were not clear and I struggled to set up the garden properly. The overall quality of the product was subpar and not worth the price I paid. I would not recommend this to anyone looking to start an indoor garden.
2. John - 1/5 - The "Indoor witch garden" was a complete waste of money for me. The plants arrived in terrible condition, with some already wilting or dying. The whole setup process was a hassle and I didn't receive any support or assistance from customer service when I reached out for help. It seemed like a great idea in theory, but the execution was extremely poor. Save yourself the frustration and find a better indoor gardening kit elsewhere.
3. Lisa - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the "Indoor witch garden," but it fell short of my expectations. The plants didn't thrive as promised, despite following the care instructions diligently. It felt like a hit or miss, with some sprouting and others completely failing to grow. The quality of the materials used in the kit was also disappointing, as they seemed cheap and easily breakable. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied with this purchase.
