Advice for vertical garden
8 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...

Comments (6)I'm not a pro (and I hope a real designer answers your question), but here's how my family does it in Singapore: 1. Get rid of things. Don't fall prey to sunk cost fallacies. Just because you bought a piece of furniture or a bunch of clothing or books or toys or whatever, doesn't mean you need to keep them if they are no longer working for you. You can sell stuff on Carousell or donate them to needy people. Sometimes not having those things will provide more value, by freeing up space, than the false belief that you need to keep things around because you paid for them. 2. Everything should be multi-function. Especially here in Singapore, everything should have multiple uses. Your bed can lift up to provide storage. Your book shelf can also be your entertainment stand. Your coffee table can double as a breakfast nook or homework table. No tool in your kitchen should be a one-job tool (for example, if you have a blender, a food processor, a spice grinder, an immersion blender, a coffee grinder and a mortar and pestle - maybe it's time to clean out the kitchen cabinets). 3. Rotate toys We have a baby at home and try really hard not to accumulate too many toys. To do that we have two toy bins. Every two weeks we switch the bin that's in rotation, so every two weeks our baby gets "new" toys that he hasn't seen for a few weeks. That allows us to keep the total number of toys to a minimum and he seems to be pretty happy (and hasn't caught on to this trick yet). Hope that helps some. Google around for "small apartment" blogs and ideas - there is a ton out there. Andrew...See More- 8 years ago

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.
