Vertical gardens are one of the best solutions for the lack of space in many houses, especially in large cities. It is the most efficient and easiest way to enjoy a piece of nature in urban settings. However, when making an artificial vertical garden, it is important to take into account a number of aspects to make it look lush and to make the plants look beautiful and attractive.
Where to make an artificial vertical garden?
The first thing to do to create an artificial vertical garden is to select the right location. In this sense, several factors will have to be taken into account:
• Choosing the perfect place: the first thing we have to take into account is that the place we select is the most suitable. A vertical garden is still a decorative element that occupies a certain space, so it is important that the artificial vertical garden is not located in a place of passage or in a place that may disturb the development of day-to-day activities . Likewise, it is also important. The goal of an artificial vertical garden is to decorate, so we should not put it in a place that is not visible.
• Adapt the design and structure to the place where we are going to place it: it is also important to define well what size and shape the artificial vertical garden will have, since this will allow us to be more concrete in its construction.
• Make a list of the materials we are going to need: this helps to specify the elements we need for its construction, which will also help us to avoid buying more elements than necessary.
Assemble the structure of the artificial vertical garden
Once we have selected the right place to create the artificial vertical garden, it will be time to arrange the structure that allows the plants to be placed vertically. In this sense, you can find prefabricated structures that adapt well to most spaces, especially if they are small. However, you can also choose to assemble the structure yourself. For this, materials such as wood and wire can be used, as well as reused plastic bottles for this task.
The most important thing when assembling the structure is that it is solid and resistant. That is, we will have to do it thinking that it has to support the weight of the plants and, above all, the pots. In this sense, the use of recycled plastic bottles is a good alternative, since they weigh little, take up little space and, in addition, allow the reuse of a waste as polluting as plastic.
