VERTICLE GARDENS

Vertical gardening is a technique that involves growing plants in a vertical space, such as a wall or trellis, rather than horizontally on the ground. This method is ideal for those who have limited space or want to add some greenery to their walls. There are many ways to create a vertical garden, including using hanging baskets, wall-mounted planters, and living walls. Here are some tips to get started with vertical gardening:

1. Choose the right plants. Not all plants are suitable for vertical gardening. Choose plants that are lightweight, have shallow roots, and can tolerate the conditions of your vertical garden.

2. Use the right soil. The soil you use for your vertical garden should be lightweight and well-draining. You can use a soilless mix or a potting mix that contains perlite or vermiculite.

3. Water your plants regularly. Vertical gardens tend to dry out more quickly than traditional gardens, so it’s important to water your plants regularly. You can use a drip irrigation system or hand-water your plants .

4. Provide adequate light. Most plants require at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. If your vertical garden is indoors or in a shady area, you may need to use grow lights to provide adequate light .

5. Prune your plants. Regular pruning will help keep your plants healthy and prevent them from becoming too large for your vertical garden.
