Hey there plant enthusiasts, welcome  back to Out Seeikng Rainbows. I’m Bex.   And today’s video is going to be a real  treat for all of you plant lovers out there. Today I’m sharing my collection of  herbs and plants. Giving you a glimpse into  

My indoor garden sanctuary. We’ll discuss the  tips and tricks I’ve learned to keep these   beauties healthy and thriving. One  key element to indoor gardening success is   the use of grow lights. They’re essential for  our green friends because of how they mimic  

The sunlight they crave. Trust me it makes  all the difference in the world especially   in a place like Southeast Alaska where  sunshine is a rare commodity during these months. Ever thought about growing herbs from  items you pick up at the grocery store today  

I’ll show you how to turn green onions and  Romaine lettuce into flourishing plants.  It’s a cost effective and sustainable way to  expand your indoor garden. Plus it’s incredibly   rewarding to witness their growth. Start by  purchasing a bunch of fresh green onions  

From the grocery store looking for ones that  have healthy roots at the base. You’re going to   cut the green tops of the onions leaving about  1 to 2 inches of the white roots intact and enjoy   the green tops when you’re cooking. Plant  the white roots in a wide bottom glass or  

Container ensuring that they’re just covered with  water. And be sure to freshen it up every 1 to 2 days. You’ll want to place the pot  in a sunny location or under a grow   light for at least 6 to 8 hours a  day. For fertilizer you can use a  

Well-balanced liquid fertilizer like  compost tea every few weeks. And when   they’re ready to harvest you’ll know  because they’ll be at the desired length. Harvest by cutting the tops  leaving the roots intact for regrowth. Selecting Romaine lettuce to grow at home  you’re going to want to choose a head of lettuce  

With a healthy intact core. Cut the Romaine lettuce  leaves leaving about 2 in of the base for the core and place that core in a shallow dish  with enough water to submerge the base.  You’ll want to change the water every  few days to keep it fresh. After a few  

Days you’ll notice roots beginning to sprout  from the base. Provide ample sunlight, ideally   6 to 8 hours a day or supplemented with  the grow light. Fertilize with a balanced   liquid fertilizer like compost tea every 3 to 4  weeks. And then when it comes time to harvesting.  

You’ll want to harvest the outer leaves as  needed allowing inner leaves to continue to grow. Now let’s talk about a little secret weapon  for thriving plants. Compost tea. I’ll give you a   peek into where I keep it in the studio and  how I put together a simple two bucket system  

This stuff works wonders and your plants  will thank you for it. Now let’s talk about   the magic potions creation. The simple and  effective two bucket system. Here’s how I   do it. Bucket one is the steeper. Fill the first  bucket with water and add a generous amount of

Compost. This can be vegetable cuttings when you’re  making a soup or stir fry, that sort of thing.   Let it steep for a few days allowing all those  nutrient-rich goodness to infuse into the water.   Bucket two is the filter. Once your compost tea is  ready, strain it into the second bucket to remove  

Any solid particles. This ensures you’re left with  a nutrient packed liquid that your plants will adore. There you have it folks a powerhouse of  nutrients ready to give your plants the spa   treatment they deserve. This stuff works  wonders. Your plants will be singing your  

Praises with every sip of nutrient rich  goodness. It’s like a superfood smoothie   for them. Promoting growth, vitality,  and overall plant happiness. Now I   know it might sound a bit like gardening  alchemy, but trust me it’s simpler than   it looks. Give it a shot and your indoor  garden will thank you with vibrant green

Hues. So what’s the takeaway from today’s  green adventure? Growing plants inside is   not only possible but totally achievable. With  the right lighting and nutrients you can have   a kitchen garden that not only enhances  your culinary creations, but also purifies  

The around you. Until next time keep growing and  keep thriving. See you in the next video! Happy gardening!
