Your prize orchid may deserve a wall pedestal to display in the living room. But there are as many unconventional ways to place greenery on walls as there are plants. Get creative using found objects and unexpected plant variants to grow a garden in the kitchen or turn the dining room into a verdant jungle of living, air-purifying vegetation.
Lungs like air
Aerial plants are easy to grow, so your "gnarled finger" may not become an obstacle to attaching these plants to the wall. Drive nails into the wall or screw in hooks with cups; attach small succulents and spider tillandsia to them. Or protect the walls from stains by weaving a "web" of transparent fishing line or coarse twine in an old photo frame and using one photo hanger. Wind the fishing line or twine back and forth, up and down and diagonally in the empty center of the frame. Small nails or hooks along the inner edge of the frame hold the web in place. Install air plants in a web, leaving at least a small space for air circulation between each plant. Hang a frame on the wall and you will create a living wall art.
A garden of boxes
From an old-fashioned soda crate-one that has separate compartments for bottles - you can instantly set up a succulent garden in a sunny corridor or in a breakfast corner. Attach a sturdy picture hanger to the back of the drawer, and protective rubber pads to the lower corners so that the drawer hangs flat. Apply several layers of polyurethane coating to the inner surface of the box to protect it from water absorption, fill the compartments with potting soil and install a mesh or an open wire screen on top of the dirt. To hold the mesh in place, use industrial staples or pliers. Thread the roots of the plants through the holes in the mesh. For large roots that do not fit, trim them a little. Hang the box or lean it against the wall by placing it on a table or counter. Lightly water on the spot or spray in the sink.
Culinary herbs in a rustic style
A salvaged board, several pipe clamps, several cans and dirt will decorate the wall of your kitchen and provide you with a variety of fresh herbs for a penny. Place cans of greens obliquely on a flat board - deformed, with traces of old paint or bleached and sanded driftwood - and put marks on the board to know where to place pipe clamps. Attach the picture wire to the back of the board and nail the pipe clips to the marks on the front side. Fill the jars with soil and small herbaceous plants and insert them into the clips. Tighten the clips and apply a strip of board paint under each jar. Hang the planter on the wall and write the name of each herb in chalk. Replace the jars by loosening the clamps; use a chalk eraser to write new plant names.
Living Wall
A living wall is a one-time investment that pays constant dividends in the form of ever-changing wall art and cleaner air in your home. The wall is completely or partially transformed with the help of a frame that holds the greenery vertically and usually contains a self-watering system with a water collector at the bottom. A small square or rectangle of green wall will become the defining accent in a sunny bathroom. Rain forest magically transforms an entire wall of the living room or dining room. The walls can be planted with vines, a neat pattern of succulents and any indoor plants, including flowering ones. Some living walls are a mass of moss; others boldly grow vegetables or exotic flowers. Build such a wall yourself, using specially made wall pockets or building plans that protect your walls. Or hire a designer to install a wall and select plants that will thrive in your environment.
