Vertical Gardening: Grow More Plants in Minimum Space

Step 1

Vertical gardening is the solution for all those who have a knack for gardening but no space. It’s the perfect solution for gardening in small places that will blow your mind. It’s effective and aesthetic and works in both indoor and outdoor settings. Vertical gardens have the special ability to utilise unused space within the property since the plants creep on the walls instead of occupying ground space. Read on to learn how to incorporate the easy DIY in your home.

Step 2

Choose Plants for a Vertical Garden

When choosing plants for your vertical garden, considering factors such as sunlight, temperature, watering, etc., is imperative. Vertical gardening allows you to grow multiple species of flora, including veggies, herbs and even decorative plants! Your beautiful DIY pots can be used for this.  The best way to make your place pleasant and aesthetic is to put tiny trees and small plants in your garden. Given below are a few decorative plant species that will elevate your place and make it look fresh and green.

Step 3

Choosing the Ideal Soil

Now that you have selected the ideal location for your vertical garden, along with plants and pots, it is time to arrange the plants. First, we will prepare the soil while considering the plants’ growth circumstances. Most plants grow on sandy loam soil with enough drainage.

Add organic materials like vegetable and fruit peels and biodegradable waste like paper to make manure. Manure is important for the fertility of soil to ensure the health of the plant. Add this to your old garden soil to make it plant-ready.

Coco peat, vermicompost, and neem cake are also great additions to the soil to make your soil fertile and your plant healthier. Now fill the prepared soil in the selected pots, choose the right grow bags and your plants are ready to be planted!

Step 4

Create a DIY Living Wall

Installing a trellis panel on the wall to hold various pots filled with flowers, veggies, and herbs is a simple yet stylish method to create a vertical garden.  After choosing the appropriate size panel:

  1. Paint or stain it to protect and highlight its unique qualities.
  2. Make holes in the wall using a masonry drill bit, align the holes with wall anchors, and then screw in an appropriate, robust L-shaped hook.
  3. Use a strong garden rope wound around each pot two or three times to distribute its weight, space the pots equally, and attach them to the trellis.  

Step 5

Planters with Wooden Palettes

A palette garden wall looks good in any outdoor space with a touch of rustic charm and character. Additionally, DIY wooden palettes are incredibly adaptable and eco-friendly, allowing you to repaint and place them wherever you want. You can also personalise them with your own arts and crafts ideas for a creative flair.

Wooden pallet planters are perfect for exhibiting your succulent collection or growing herb plants. If you want your plants to be at ground level, you can push them up against a flat surface or securely attach them to the wall.

Step 6

Use Adorable Hanging Pots in Your Vertical Garden

In addition to growing trees and other plants, vertical gardening can be utilised for decorating indoor or outdoor walls with vibrant pots filled with live plants. Hanging pots, wicker baskets, or circular planters may be fastened to any wall or flat surface to create a beautiful vertical garden.

You can easily use various kinds of colourful pots and plant trees in your vertical garden according to your preferences. You can use plastic hook hanging pots, thermoform pots, or the finest hanging pocket grow bags from Artkala, which are ideal for vertical gardening.
