How to grow carrots from seed indoors
Can carrots grow indoors? Yes, and growing carrots in containers is easier than growing them in the garden because they thrive on a steady supply of moisture—something that's hard to provide outdoors in the heat of summer.
When you grow your own carrots, you have options that you'll probably never see in the grocery store, including unusual shapes and a rainbow of colors. So grab a pot and let's get to growing carrots indoors.
Can Carrots Grow Indoors?
Carrots are among the easiest vegetables to grow indoors, and your indoor carrot garden will be attractive as well as functional.
Potted carrots fill their container with dark green, lacy foliage that you'll be proud to display in any room of your home. You can grow baby carrots in any size container, but longer varieties need deeper pots.
Growing carrots indoors in waterChoose a pot that is at least 8 inches (20 cm.) deep to grow short or half-long varieties, and one that is 10 to 12 inches (25-31 cm.) deep for standard length carrots. Fill the pot with good quality potting soil to within an inch (2.5 cm.) of the top.
Now you are ready to plant carrots.
