Vertical gardens for small spaces: use kits for easy setup, customize with favorite plants
First, we explore vertical gardens! The idea is simple, growing plants upwards on a wall or other vertical surface. And if you worry about space, this is perfect for small apartments! You can buy ready-made vertical garden kits which are available at your local garden center or online.
The kits usually come with a frame and pots, and instructions. You can customize it with your favorite plants, from herbs and succulents to colorful flowering plants.
Think about planting fragrant herbs like mint or basil for a sensory delight or try trailing plants like pothos or ivy for a cascading effect. Hanging planters offer another version of vertical display and can easily change the look by swapping with different plant choices.
Plants as living architectural features enhance home design
Another exciting trend is using plants as living architectural features! Here, plants are used to define spaces, create focal points, or enhance the existing architecture of your home.
Instead of a boring room divider, why not use a tall potted plant or a row of plants in matching containers to create a soft, natural barrier? This can visually separate your living room from your dining area or create a cozy reading nook.
For a more dramatic effect, consider training climbing plants like bougainvillea or jasmine on a trellis to frame a doorway or window. This adds a touch of romance and brings the outdoors in.
You could even use strategically placed plants to highlight architectural details in your home, such as a fireplace or a built-in bookshelf by positioning them next to these elements.
Create your own kokedama for a touch of Japanese zen
Next up, kokedama, which will bring a touch of Japanese zen which is becoming popular. Kokedama quite literally translates to "moss ball". It refers to the method of wrapping a plant’s roots in a ball of moss, creating a self-contained little world.
These hanging moss balls can be suspended from the ceiling with string or displayed on decorative dishes and create a wonderfully natural and aesthetically pleasing look. To create your own kokedama, you'll need sphagnum moss, bonsai soil, some string, and your plant.
The process is simple: you carefully remove the plant from its pot, wrap the roots in a ball of soil, and then cover the soil with the moss. Secure the moss with string and then water it when the moss feels dry. It is interesting to try and display your unique work.
Terrariums create self-sustaining ecosystems in glass containers with easy maintenance
Terrariums are miniature gardens in glass containers. Whether you choose an open or a closed terrarium, this method allows you to create a self-sustaining ecosystem.
Open terrariums are well-suited for succulents and cacti needing good air circulation while closed terrariums, appropriate for ferns and mosses, retain moisture. Terrariums are relatively easy to create and maintain.
You'll need a glass container, potting soil, small plants, pebbles, and charcoal for drainage. Layer the pebbles, charcoal, and soil in the container, then add your plants. Decorate with small stones, twigs, or figurines to create a miniature landscape.
Terrariums are great for apartments as they don’t need much to be kept at. They are also a great gift to give to your relative.
