Advice for vertical garden

10 years ago

Hello houzzers,

I would like to incorporate a vertical garden in my home for a bit of greenery. Do you think real plants will work? Or should I go fake? Any advice as to how I can make really plants survive will be appreciated...

Forget about fake plants. It will just be a dust magnet. Plus, the toxin release from the plastic and adhesive is not the idea of green after all. But then again, planting on walls indoor is a big commitment. You need to be very sure as it does require quite a lot of care, especially if the area is low on natural light. You may need plant lightings. Start small, like what I did with a photo frame size. Outdoor is easy, I have one at the balcony, where water is not a problem and ample sun lights.

Both DIY project. Did not cause me an arm or leg.

Hi TChua,
They are beautiful! Had wanted to have one but cost was prohibitive. Could you share more on your DIY project-materials: what & where to obtain; how to build? Hope to hear from you to start my DIY project! Thank you!

Hi Rachel,

Plants are very hardy and can survive pretty much on their own.. in the natural setting. However, it gets quite tricky indoors, especially for folks who don't have the time to tend to them everyday. The small amount of enclosed soil tends to dry up fast and get compacted over time.

For a more fuss-free soil-free option, you could consider our Japanese Pafcal Wall Planters, and even plant your own favourite types too.

Thanks!

Definitely real plants, but for an indoor wall, lighting is crucial to ensure that the plants thrive.
