- "Urban horticulture is the science and study of growing plants in an urban environment."
Guidelines on identifying the right plants for urban gardening, and caring for them.
Soil composition: Understanding the different types of soil, their composition, and how they affect plant growth and health.
Watering and Irrigation: Understanding the amount of water plants need and the frequency of watering, the different methods of irrigation and how to detect the symptoms of over or under watering.
Climate and seasonality: Understanding the climatic conditions, seasons, and their effects on plant growth, and selecting appropriate plants for different seasons.
Plant Nutrition: Understanding the essential ingredients and nutrients needed by plants, and how to apply them in the form of fertilizers.
Light requirement: Understanding the different amounts of light required by different plants, and selecting appropriate plants for the amount of light available in your area.
Pest and disease management: Identifying pests and diseases, implementing preventive and control measures, and selecting plants that are resistant to pests and diseases.
Plant propagation: Understanding the various methods used for propagating plants, including seeds, cuttings, division, and grafting.
Pruning and trimming: Understanding how to trim and prune plants for aesthetics and health benefits and for maintaining the plant size.
Plant identification: Understanding how to identify different plants based on their physical characteristics such as leaves, flowers, and fruits.
Container gardening: Understanding how to choose the right container, soil, and plants, and how to manage its size and weight.
Vertical gardening: Understanding the different types of vertical gardening, such as trellis, wall-mounted, and hanging gardens, and how to select the plants, structures and how to maintain them.
Edible plants: Understanding how to grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs in an urban environment, selecting appropriate species, and how to care for them.
Companion planting: Understanding how to select plants that grow well together and promote each other's health and growth.
Different types of indoor plants: Understanding the different types of indoor plants, their growth requirements and how to provide them with sufficient light, water, and space.
Landscaping: Understanding how to design and create aesthetically pleasing and functional urban landscapes, selecting appropriate plants and how to maintain them.
Companion planting: Planting different species of plants together to benefit each other.
Intercropping: Planting multiple crops together in the same area to maximize space and yields.
Crop rotation: Rotating crops in a specific order to prevent soil depletion and pests/disease buildup.
Organic farming: Using natural methods to control pests and disease rather than synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
Hydroponics: Growing plants in water with added nutrients instead of soil.
Aquaponics: A combination of hydroponics and aquaculture (raising fish), where the fish waste is used as a natural fertilizer for the plants.
Vertical farming: Growing crops in vertical layers to save space and increase yields.
Raised bed gardening: Creating a contained bed of soil above ground to control soil quality and moisture levels.
Container gardening: Growing plants in pots or containers, suitable for small spaces and urban areas.
Green roofs: Planting vegetation on rooftops to reduce urban heat islands, improve air quality, and provide access to fresh produce in urban areas.
