• By Monnaie Architects Interiors

• In small area homes and apartments, making room
  for home gardens is tough. So for the hard core
  gardening buffs we have found a way around and
  that is vertical gardens.
• Yes, we are talking about plants which are grown
  in containers or geo bags mounted on the walls.
  Even we can have a drip irrigation system for
  easier management. And while such gardens are
  very popular nowadays and even the trend is fast
  catching up too.  But starting a vertical garden
  in indoor space is an expensive affair. Also we
  need to put in a lot of effort commitment to
  maintain it throughout.

• The main and important area of concern is on
  watering the plants, which has to be done using a
  certain technique. The excess water must be
  drained out through a proper channel. Seasonal
  flowers, money plants and philodendron are ideal
  for vertical garden. Whether you grow the garden
  indoors or outdoors, all that differs is the
  plant types. Shade loving hardy plants are used
  indoors, while sun loving ones are kept outdoors.
  
• Plants also help to purify the environment and
  their colour soothes our feeling and senses. It
  is a symbol of auspiciousness, growth and
  fertility.

• Plants always help to reduce our stress and are
  good for eyesight. Very few people know that
  plants also improve the Vastu of a place. Since
  it is designed and structured over a specific
  area, it is much easier to control the spread of
  weeds. You can even grow different vegetables in
  geo bags and ago the organic way. Many people
  prefer soil-less place, which comprises only
  chemicals or chemicals with fertilisers. One can
  also use organic materials like coco peat, manure
  other nutrients essential for plant growth.

• Let us see how you can start your own vertical
  garden at home.
• How to begin
• Define the area where you want the green wall.
  Any wall is good, but it is always better if you
  choose one that gets some natural light, even if
  indirect. If you are creative enough, you can
  make your own green wall with hanging pipes.
• Area required
• All you need is a perfect wall or a partition. It
  can be something as extensive as a wall of any
  rooms or even a small balcony wall. The structure
  of the green wall should be a three layer
  sandwich frame, plastic sheet and fabric so that
  even when you attach it to a wall, it stays
  unharmed. This also makes amounting easy .

• Choosing plants
• The location of the wall will decide and
  determine the kind of plants. For indoor
  location, we use plants that grow in shade, and
  for outdoors, we use sun loving varieties. Again,
  for balconies, we can use semi shade plants.
  Vertical gardens even work as attractive room
  dividers. In offices, where we get indirect
  light, we use sturdy indoor plants.
