Prince’s Landscape Pte Ltd - Going green, vertically!

1. Going green, vertically! A wonderful method to add the touch of nature to your balcony, porch, living room, restroom, or kitchen is through vertical gardening. Basically, vertical gardening is a container gardening system with plants that are raised off the ground or are simulated to grow upward in the containers. You don't have to construct a complex edifice to create a place for plants inside your home. Instead of having just one pot on the ground, you can have numerous vertical wall planters hanging on a wall. In less space, a greater variety of plants can be grown. Instead of growing vegetables in rows, you might let your cucumbers twine along the railing of your balcony, and your berries could grow in a gutter garden. As you might have imagined, vertical gardening can be an excellent small-space option. However, it is important to understand the way a vertical garden can be constructed and how to maintain the same. An expert landscaper can surely help you with the process. Things to keep in mind while constructing an indoor vertical garden:  Choose a location for your vertical garden at home. Choose a wall or a corner that has enough light to maintain the health of the plants. The location can be such that the vertical wall planters get highlighted and add to the beauty of the house.  Next, choose the type of planter system that best matches the plants you desire to grow. There are many kinds of green wall systems available, but maintenance should be your first priority. Choose a modular pot system or hanging planters for ease of setup and plant renewal. Even better, you can design your own system using other materials such as wooden boxes, mesh, recycled plastic containers and rods!  Choose the kind of plants that you want to grow. Whether the plant is just for adding a green touch to the interiors or if you would like to grow veggies or herbs. The choice of plant is a very important decision to be made because the maintenance of the plant would depend on this choice. How do I maintain my vertical garden? Vertical gardens are also subject to the same gardening laws! Make sure to fertilise, prune, and water your plants on a regular basis. For simpler watering, consider installing an automated drip irrigation system. Because soil becomes heavy, especially when wet, vertical gardens do not usually use soil. Pumice is a wonderful example of a more porous medium that promotes healthy root development by providing enough drainage and aeration.

2. Going soilless will help you keep pests out of your houseplants, but you will need to feed your plants with water-soluble fertiliser to give them nourishment. In order to prevent faster-growing plants from crowding or encroaching on the space of slower-growing plants, pruning is crucial for vertical gardens. This will guarantee that your plants receive an even distribution of light and help prevent insect and disease issues. Going easy! Start out simply if you're new to vertical gardening. Only a few things should be kept in mind, thus bear that in mind: A structure or vertical stand (for example: pallet, ladder, fence, etc.) A container range (for example: plastic containers, nursery pots, etc.) Plant of preference Soil From then on, the only restriction on the vertical gardening concepts you can implement is your imagination. Start off by considering creative ways to use the existing vertical elements in your home or yard. A fence, a trellis, or aladder are a few examples. Then, consider your available container options: old hanging shoe organisers, upcycled pots, coco coir basket liners, or old plastic containers. Then choose a plant and you are good to go!
