This isn't a recent phenomenon; the
vertical garden craze has been going strong for quite some time. But it's true that what began as a trend on the exterior facades of museums, exhibitions, and offices is now reaching private
homes . One factor that has enabled the appearance and proliferation of these structures in houses is the growing trend towards greenery. The appreciation for
eco-friendly living continues to increase. More and more people want to incorporate some greenery into their homes to give a fresh look to their living room, for example.
A vertical garden in your own home? A very easy-to-install trend
Other factors that have made it possible for many people to finally enjoy these types of installations, previously limited to large companies or associations, include the lower costs and the ability to use artificial plants. The democratization of prices has meant that you can now find vertical garden panels at very reasonable prices. Furthermore, the idea of using
artificial plants not only contributes to lower prices but also to the convenience of your home. You won't have to worry about the constant maintenance of these structures, which, if made up of natural foliage, can be very time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, natural foliage also makes it possible to install a vertical garden in corners of the house where it would be impossible to place artificial plants.
Vertical garden, a simple installation
If all this weren't enough, it's worth highlighting that
installing these panels is very simple and can be done easily on both indoor and outdoor surfaces without much trouble. However, you will need different tools depending on the surface where you want to install the vertical garden. To create your garden on concrete walls, you'll need a
drill , anchors, wall plugs, washers, and a
screwdriver . Pneumatic staple guns are also a good option, as they will save you time. If you've decided to install the panels on a fence or mesh, you'll need to use wire, and for other types of surfaces, you can even use manual staplers. Regardless of the surface you're installing it on, you might want to paint the wall green before proceeding with the installation to avoid unsightly gaps.
Once you have taken the measurements and gathered all the necessary tools, proceed to install the first panel and mark the fixing points with a pencil. Then, insert the wall plugs at each fixing point and secure the panel with the screws and washers. Repeat this process with the remaining panels. If any panels are too long, you can trim them with pliers and scissors to fit your wall. To minimize the visibility of the seams between panels, you can slightly adjust the foliage to conceal them.
