You can grow plants on a vertical wall, in pots, or in a hanging container if you are looking for gardening ideas. You'll be amazed by the diversity and beauty of these small plants! These are just a few ideas to help you get started.
Vertical wall plants
Even if you don’t have enough space to build a large one, you can make your own vertical garden living wall. You don't need to spend money or the time required to build a garden. Instead, recycle materials. Make your own vertical garden using plastic pallets and rigid plastic framing. Another option is to reuse an old chicken coop as your planter. Once you have the materials, you can start planting.
Plants that grow in a pot
When choosing the right container to house your plants, there are many important things you should consider. First, make sure that the pot is sufficient to support the root mass. A pot should be at least three inches larger than the root mass if you want to quickly grow your plants. For the correct size container, be sure to carefully read labels. This information can be found online. The container should last at most one year. It will also help you to not have to repot the plants.
Plants that grow in a vertical garden
Nightshade vegetables like tomatoes, peppers and eggplants grow well in a vertical gardening system. These vegetables require a lot light to grow so they should be planted before the weather gets too hot. It is best to plant them six weeks prior to the first frost. You can grow vine-like tomatoes if your vertical garden is on a sunny wall. In this case, you will need a support structure for the vines.
Hanging planters for plants

They also grow very well in low light and are surprisingly drought-tolerant. It is best to choose a variety which requires very little water and has a well-drained environment. False shamrock plants make a wonderful indoor succulent. This succulent's thick, green leaves can hold water and make it a great option for hanging planters.
Plants you can plant in a Vertical Garden
Some plants do not thrive in vertical gardens, but they will thrive in sunnier areas. Some vegetables, like Swiss chard and spinach, thrive in full sun. For example, indeterminate tomatoes must be staked or placed in a trellis. Tomatoes perform best in low-level containers. You can also grow them in hanging baskets. Kiwi vines are resilient and less susceptible to pest attacks and diseases than other varieties. But they will need a large space and regular watering to stay healthy.
Plants to plant in a hanging planter
Hanging planters can be a great addition to any room. They are perfect for renters and homeowners alike, and they will look lovely indoors or out. However, before you plant your plant, make sure to check the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone. In a hanging planter, you can use both indoor and outdoor plants. Here are some ideas:

How do I determine the type of soil that I have?
The dirt's color can tell you what it is. More organic matter is found in darker soils than in lighter soils. A second option is soil testing. These tests are used to determine the quantity of nutrients in soil.
