Design Tips For Your Vertical Garden

Vertical Gardens make for great cosmetic enhancements for any home. They provide life to empty and baron walls not to mention the beautiful colors the plants and flowers will wow you with.

But not all vertical gardens are created equally and for them to come out correctly there are some design tips you should take into consideration when you are getting started.

Here are just a few:

Choosing the Right Plants

Just like the saying you can’t put a “square peg in a round hole” some plants are not meant for vertical gardening and choosing the wrong ones can potentially lead to issues and problems. Always read the labels that the plants come with so you know if there will be suitable space in the area you are providing for them. While they may look ideal in the nursery once they grow on your wall, could be another story.

Take Shade Factor into Consideration

When you position your plants on your vertical garden you will want to take into consideration the type of sunlight they will get once they grow upwards. When they grow, they could block sunlight from reaching the plants behind or below them. Some vegetables like or can tolerate shade such as spinach and lettuce so you may want to take that into consideration and use it to your advantage when planting.

Don’t Overlook Weight

The weight of mature plants will also have an impact on the structure you select to place your garden. For example, heavy crops such as melons won’t be able to survive on weak fences or gates.

There are plenty of other factors that should be thought of when designing your vertical garden. Before you start though this fun and exciting project get a few PLANTPOCKETS vertical grow bags.
