Plants that can grow in a pot, on a horizontal wall or in a hanging garden are great options for gardening ideas. These small plants are so beautiful and diverse that you will be stunned at their beauty! Here are some ideas to get you started:
Vertical wall plants
A vertical garden can be used to create your own living wall. Recycling materials can be used if you don’t want to invest the time and money necessary to create a vertical yard. If you don't have the space, consider making one yourself using a plastic pallet and some rigid plastic framing. Another option is to reuse an old chicken coop as your planter. Once you have the right materials, it is time to start planting.
Pots for plants
There are several important factors to consider when choosing the right container for plants. First, make sure that the pot is sufficient to support the root mass. If you are looking to quickly grow plants, make sure the pot is at least 3 inches larger than their root mass. For the correct size container, be sure to carefully read labels. This information can be found online. A container that can last at least one year will save you from having to repot your plants.
Vertical gardens for plants
The nightshade vegetables, such as tomatoes or peppers, grow well in vertical gardens. 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.

Vertical garden plants
Some plants do not thrive in vertical gardens, but they will thrive in sunnier areas. Some vegetables like spinach and Swiss Chard require full sun and lots of heat, while others will thrive in cooler locations. Indeterminate tomatoes for example must be staked and planted in a pergola. Tomatoes perform best in low-level containers. You can also grow them in hanging baskets. Kiwi vines are hardy and are not as susceptible to diseases and pest attacks as others. But they will need a large space and regular watering to stay healthy.
Plants to plant in a hanging planter
Hanging plants are a great option to add color and greenery throughout your home. They are suitable for both homeowners and renters, and will look beautiful indoors and out. Make sure you check your USDA Plant Hardiness Zone before you start planting your plants. A combination of indoor and outdoors plants can be used in your hanging planter.
