Growing fruit plants in the kitchen is not that difficult. The procedure is heavily influenced by the cottagecore style that rose to popularity recently. An aspect of this aesthetic is the romanticisation of a basic rural life, which includes growing edible houseplants indoors. 


Homes have powerful lighting, water pipes, central heating, insulation, and lighting. Similar to how a house protects one from the weather and keeps one cosy. Additionally, they are ideal for cultivating a wide range of exotic fruits that would soon wilt in a garden. Furthermore, watching a plant grow from a little sprout to delectable food on your plate is always enjoyable. 

Fig Tree

It's a dwarf plant that will only grow to be around 4-6 feet tall at most; how big it eventually becomes will depend on the size of the pot it grows in. The figs it produces will be tasty and have a rich purple colour. Because it is naturally resistant to pests and drought, it is a low-maintenance plant that won't die if you forget to water it for a few days. The "Brown Turkey" fig tree is an alternate kind that you might have to vigorously prune to prevent it from taking over your area. Since figs usually do well in humid climates, regularly misting either variety is a good idea.

Apricots 

Dwarf Moorpark apricots are easy to grow indoors. Like many “pit” or “stone” fruit trees, you can grow one from the pit, but if you do, you can expect to wait a few years to obtain genuine fruit from it. Buying a young tree and simply transplanting it into a pot is better. Moorpark needs to be pruned regularly, or they will get too big—but even when pruned, they will reach about six feet in height, so make sure you have the room before you commit. Keep the soil damp and ensure it gets a lot of sunlight; a tree two years or older should begin fruiting during the first year.

Mulberries 

Dwarf mulberry trees may be “trained” to be more like bushes or hedges, making them an ideal choice for indoor growth. Look for dwarf types; the Everbearing Mulberry and the Issai Mulberry are wonderful selections that won’t get too enormous. But both need heavy pruning—the Everbearing type, for instance, can reach fifteen feet if left unchecked. Initially, water them frequently and make sure they receive enough sunlight. Once established, you can stop watering them as needed; they won't care.

Coffee

Coffee is a fruit; the berries are crushed and roasted to make coffee beans. If you can handle peeling, soaking, drying, roasting, and grinding your beans after harvesting them, you can grow coffee inside and even brew coffee out of it. However, most people just head straight for the Keurig machine or their neighbourhood coffee shop. The coffee arabica plant is simple to grow—just keep it out of direct sunlight as it might scorch the leaves—and it bears fruit in its first year in addition to lovely white blooms and a lovely scent.

Kumquats

Although kumquats are citrus plants, they tend to be simpler to cultivate than oranges or lemons, and several types are essentially made to live in containers. To obtain kumquats that resemble those seen in supermarkets, cultivate a "Nagami" variety, yielding tiny, olive-sized fruits. Pick a "Meiwa" variety if you'd like your fruit to be larger. But you won’t go far wrong with any kumquat tree—when grown in a container, they won’t become too enormous, and all they need is a lot of sunlight and moderate maintenance.

Ground Cherries

These are sometimes called Cape Gooseberries, and they aren’t at all like the conventional cherries you think of when you hear the name—they’re more closely linked to peppers. The taste is hard to explain. Ground cherries do well when started from seeds; for a change, provide them with ample sunlight and moderate irrigation, and you will soon have a large-leafed plant that will yield an abundance of mouth-watering fruit. Since these are annuals, you must replant each year to have more.

Miracle Berry

Grow synsepalum dulcificum, often known as Miracle Berries, for an indoor fruit tree that can double as a clever party trick. The party trick is that no matter how sour or bitter the meal is, anything you eat after consuming some Miracle Berries will taste delicious. The effects can take several minutes to several hours, so plan and don't eat right afterwards if you eat your snack too soon. Since they love humidity, all they need to grow inside is a lot of misting and indirect lighting. You can temporarily increase the humidity levels of your plant by wrapping it in clear plastic if it appears a little withered.

Avocados

If you use the well-known "toothpick in a glass" method, avocados will emerge from their pits, but there's a catch: plants that are developed from pits hardly ever bear fruit. Put another way, you'll have a healthy plant, but before it produces an avocado, you'll pass away from old age. Purchasing a starting plant is your best option. The "Day" kind of avocado is the simplest to grow in a pot; look for one in the garden or nursery section of your local store. Even if starting from the pit will probably take longer, it will happen far faster than never getting an avocado or two.
