Who does not love growing beautiful plants to make the home surroundings more vibrant? Plants are good not only for the environment but also for the well-being of the people. But the common problem people face nowadays is the need for sufficient space for extensive gardening. The indoor vertical garden is one of the best innovations to make the small open area look more appealing. Often referred to as living green walls, moss walls, and live walls, vertical gardens have been around for a long time. Growing plants vertically on a panel, either self-supporting or attached to a wall, is known as "vertical gardening." But natural plants demand regular watering, fertilising, pest control, sunlight and much more. Compared with natural plants, artificial vertical gardens demand less work and provide more benefits like low cost and maintenance. Thus, these realistic-looking fake vertical gardens have gained popularity amongst homeowners and interior designers in Australia. You can grow flowers or plants on a trellis, a tower of pots, or garden netting in a faux vertical garden. There are numerous options for setting up an artificial indoor vertical garden, from herbs and perennials to annuals. Let us learn some eye-catching indoor vertical garden ideas that are perfect for your small spaces. Succulent Frame Vertical Garden Select a wooden frame that fits well into the desired wall. Fill the frame with artificial succulent plants of different shapes, colours, and sizes. Since these fake succulent plants last long and need low maintenance, they are the best home decor item. It would look lovely in a bedroom or on a dining room wall. Hanging Planter When you run out of floor space, a DIY hanging planter can add greenery to your home. With plenty of varieties, from ferns to orchids, these magnificent hanging plants can add depth, colour and a sense of serenity. You can hang them on pots or baskets through a rope and hook to brighten up your balcony or window of the room. Indoor Ladder Garden An old ladder is an excellent solution for growing several indoor plants in a small area. Lean your old ladder against the wall and use it as tiered shelves for plants. On the ladder steps, you can build shelves with wood planks and set flower or plant pots on them. Tiered Hanging Pot This DIY tiered hanging pot can uniquely display your fake plants. You can use unwanted wooden pieces, rope, and flower pots. Begin by creating a square with a wood plank, then trace the lip of the pot on the wood and drill a hole along the traced area. Now, place the flower pots on these squares and bring the beauty of nature to your space. Lattice Vertical Garden A lattice can create magic if you have a large blank wall in the house. Take sturdy, lightweight planters that can hang from the trellis and place them around the lattice so that you can rearrange them whenever needed. Hooks are necessary to attach or remove them. Vertical Miniature Garden A small vertical garden on your balcony is perfect for your small apartment. Take a wooden plank and nail it to an empty wall. Fill vivid coloured pots with soil and fake plants, and nail them on the wooden plank in the vertical position. You are all set to transform your balcony into your favourite spot. Iron Grid Pot Planter Weld the iron rods and make a wall grid or arrange them in any desirable way. Paint the iron grid in a pastel shade, so it shines behind the green plant, and hang the pots vertically. You can create a focal point of a particular space of your home this way. Small and Large Pots Set some small planters with life-like green plants like pothos, bushes, cactus, ferns, and many more to make a statement in your space. You can take things to the next level by placing large artificial plants and setting up good lighting, highlighting your home's dark corners. Bottled Vertical Garden Time to use old mineral water and soda bottles. Take old plastic bottles and make a rectangular cut on them using a utility knife. Fill these bottles with soil and the faux indoor vertical garden plant of your choice, then line them on balcony railings or a wall. You can securely tie them with twine and create a beautiful vertical bottle garden. Chalkboard Planter Take a chalkboard and hang it on your kitchen counter. Fill the planting frame with soil and plant and angle the frame in a position of your choice. Family members can demand their favourite dish by writing on it, creating a delightful yet modern home environment. Air Plant Vertical Garden Take the wooden board, hammer the nails in it, and ensure that there is enough room to loop the string around them. Tie the string to one nail and start wrapping in a pattern. When finished, insert the air plants into the string's web. Repeat the same process with other wooden boards. Finally, fasten each board to a blank wall. DIY Strawberry Tower When there is less space to create a garden, the strawberry tower is an ideal way to transform your home’s entrance. You can make it from unused plastic piping and cut it into tiny sections. Place some tiny indoor artificial vertical plants in it and then stand up the whole thing in the weighted clay pot. Upcycled Wooden Pallet You can create a magnificent wall unit of potted plants by reusing the wooden pallet. You can lean it near your favourite nook, put faux plants and flower arrangements, and add an extra flair to the room’s decor. Stand-Alone Wall This indoor vertical garden is great for showing off your beautiful faux plant collection while taking advantage of the available space. The number of artificial plants on the wall looks realistic and adds an aesthetic touch to the space. Shoe Organiser A shoe organiser makes a cute and inexpensive planter for growing vertically indoor plants. Attach the organiser to a wooden or PVC frame or a piece of lattice to protect the wall. Put fake miniature plants directly in the pockets as per your choice. You can experiment with plant placement whenever you like. Upcycled Dresser Don’t throw out an old dresser; fill it with soil and shrubs of various sizes. Stagger how far the drawers are pulled out to create a cascading waterfall-like effect. Tin Can Fence Garden Spray-painted tin cans make for absolutely adorable fake vertical gardening, not to mention highly affordable planters. It can be a fun yet relaxing place watching the green plants with the prettiest pops of colour from both flowers and pretty painted cans. Tire Garden A tire garden is an upcycling project in which you can convert used or recycled tires into planters that can hold various plants, from vegetables to flowering shrubs. You can set up a tire garden by filling a used tire with soil and then planting shrubs or plants of your preference.

Decorate Your Home Using Different Types Of Pots And Planters There are no specific rules for decorating your home. Let your imagination run wild! We know that indoor potted plants placed at any corner can make the space come alive. The trickiest part is setting the plant comfortably in its planted container, whether pots or planters. With the people moving towards artificial plants, we require pots that go well for both live and artificial plants. Most of Australia's gardeners and home decorators prefer Designer Vertical Gardens to buy pots and planters for indoor or outdoor settings. Do you know the difference between pots and planters? What are pots and planters? Even though they are both used to set plants, there is a vast difference between them. Pots are small and round and can house only one plant, while planters are available in different shapes and sizes and can house more than one plant. The small pots are usually meant for indoor use, while planters are used outside. The pot or the planter you select decides the plant's growth. Though the growth depends on the soil health and how healthy the roots of the plants are, the size, use and pot placement also play an indispensable role. Points to remember for using indoor pots Your plants will remain healthy only if you know the pot type. Check out these tips when considering indoor pots: Choose a pot with a drainage hole to allow excess water to escape. The pot should not be too big; it should be just a size larger than the plant's root ball. Choosing lightweight pots for indoor use is better as they are easy to clean and work well, even if you forget to water plants on a particular day. Designer Vertical Gardens in Australia offers plant pots made from recyclable plastic and concrete, designed to ensure longevity and durability at an affordable rate. Is reusing the plant pots ideal? Reusing plant pots is environmentally friendly, saves money, and makes gardening easy. However, reusing pots can cause problems if you have not cleaned them properly. Importance of pot cleaning while reusing them Soil builds up salt, which gets deposited on the pots. This build-up will transfer any disease your old plant has carried to your new plant. Moreover, used pots have lingering bug eggs and disease spores, which can't be seen with the naked eye and can harm new plants. Thus, cleaning the reused pots is necessary to keep the new plant healthy and productive. To disinfect the pots: Scrub the pots with clean water. If the salt deposits don't come off quickly, try scraping them with an old butter knife. Soak clay and plastic pots in a solution with ten parts water and 1 part bleach; you can continue this soaking process from 10 minutes to 1 hour. This process will kill bug eggs and disease spores and help easily remove the salt. You can use vinegar instead of bleach. Make a habit of cleaning the pot soon after it is emptied to reduce the chances of disease being transferred from one pot to another. Rinse the pots well and dry them in the sunlight if possible. In addition, choosing the right pot size for your plant is essential, whether for an indoor or outdoor plant. The size and shape of the pot or planter, together with soil and watering, directly affect plant growth. You could get confused about choosing the right pot height and size. Designer Vertical Gardens is there to help you understand the basics of the pot needed for a particular plant. What is the proper pot size for artificial plants? For indoor and outdoor artificial plants, pots, planters, and other containers are often ignored. Your plant may be beautiful, but if you choose the wrong container, you might have something boring to look at or even too flashy. Most fake plants come in fixed pots, but at times, this fixed pot is too small to keep the plant standing upright; you might want to purchase a new pot for your artificial plant. When we talk about plant size, it does not mean just the plant, the diameter of the pot it is planted in is also included. Plant size = Grow pot diameter x Total height of the plant That is, The diameter of the grow pot at the top of the rim multiplied by the total height of the plant This means plant size includes the plant roots as well as the height or length of the plant. When we say 8/9cm pot, it means a nearly 9cm tall plant is growing in a pot with a width of 8cm diameter. You must choose a decorative pot with an opening about 1cm larger than the size of the plant's pot. However, for a smaller plant with approximately 12cm grow pot, you should pick a slightly smaller pot, and for a larger plant with about 25cm, you can add a 2-3cm larger one. It is important to note that if the shape of the planter tapers at the base, it means that the planter is wide enough for the plant to sit correctly at the bottom. In this case, you can add a layer of pebbles at the bottom to increase the base size, raising the plant height in the planter. Additionally, the pot size determines how much air and water your plant roots get. Soil dries slowly in a large pot that makes the plant root rot. If the plant is large compared to a pot, the plant will tip over. Thus, drainage holes in the pots will allow water to drain from the soil, enabling good airflow and the flushing of salts from the soil. With such specifications needed for faux green plant pots, Designer Garden Plants have perfect modern garden pots indoors or outdoors that will last for years. Our exclusive pots range includes engraved pots, planters, imitation stones and marbles and hanging plastic pots. They are made from entirely recyclable, highly durable and long-lasting materials and are available in various shapes and sizes. Engraved pots come in 14cm and 17cm, while we have planters of 25cm, 30cm, 47cm and 71cm size. Our 30cm hanging pots are designed for use with either artificial or living plants. Our online shopping is 100% secure; you can order these plastic pots online.
