When I first read the title of this post, "Growing Plants in your Dorm Room" [link no longer valid] I immediately thought - "Are you serious?"

Expecting that it was going to be tips on growing the wacky weed (isn't that what college horticulture is all about?) my mind was put at ease when the Garden Lady answered a students query to vegetate his student housing.

Basically, the tips are the same as if your were to grow indoor plants but I would also add that you could water them with some basic indoor irrigation as well.

One commenter asked what would happen to them during the summer break? This would depend on what type of plants students opted for realising that many of the succulents could look after themselves while others may need a separate water source such as the Plantminder Water Bulbs

While I think the Garden Lady's advice was good I would have suggested plants that were more tolerant of odours such as sweaty gym socks and adolescent boy smells. Plants that could actually purify the air at the same time surely would be beneficial.
