One of the most intelligent ideas to bring greenery to an urban area that seems to be overcrowded is by building a vertical garden at home in India. In cramped spaces of modern apartments, when going vertical, you can increase the number of plants without the extra space on the floor. A properly designed vertical garden does not only bring natural beauty but also cleans the air, reduces heat indoors, and relieves stress. They include gardens on a balcony, a terrace, or a wall of the kitchen and make a home healthier and more welcoming. In this blog, Shanti Creations | શાંતિ ક્રિએશન provides useful tools, plant-based ideas, and tips on saving money to begin with your own.

What is a vertical garden?

A vertical garden is another term for a green wall or living wall, and it means plants growing on walls, trellises, or frames with no soil. Because it takes up less room than other heating systems, this is great for homes in cities. Planters, hanging pots, wooden frames, and recycled containers can be used to set up herbs either outdoors or indoors. Balconies, terraces, and kitchens in India are especially designed for vertical gardens.

They clean your area's air, look after your place, and offer fresh herbs and fruits. It is good for the environment because it uses less dirt and water. Vertical systems make it easier to reuse items—windshield car washers, old plastic bottles, and wooden crates can be turned into colorful gardens. If you use the correct tools and guidance, making a lovely, low-maintenance vertical garden is easy at home.

What You’ll Need to Start

When constructing a successful vertical garden, the following materials should be used:

Vertical garden planters, wall-mounted pots, wooden pallets, or re-used containers

An aerated, well-draining soil mix (cocopeat, compost)

Seeds or saplings of vegetables, herbs, or flower plants that are applicable in vertical planting

a drip or spray watering system to provide equilibrium moisture

The natural fertilizer organic compost

A strong vertical garden wall or frame that receives 46 hours of sun each day

Pieces of hooks, brackets, or wooden supports used to stabilize the assembly

Recycling the old material will assist in cutting down on the expenses as well as being environmentally friendly in the landscaping of the garden. You may get these items easily in nearby garden shops or on the internet from Shanti Creations.

How to Create a Vertical Garden at Home in India—Step-by-Step

1. Choose the Right Location

Try to find a location in your house where lots of sunlight comes through, such as a balcony, terrace wall, or kitchen gardening. If you want to grow a vertical garden inside, put it where it will get light from windows or from LED grow lights. Try to locate your garden where wind or rain will not harm your plants or make it hard to take care of them.

2. Select the Structure

Buy prefabricated vertical garden panels, try out old wooden crates, or use various recycled items to make your own. For people living in Delhi, Shanti Creations has custom vertical garden kits available. There are many ways to try out ladder shelves, PVC pipe frames, or wall grids, which are attractive as well as creative.

3. Prepare the Soil Mix

Go for a potting mix that looks fluffy and has good air circulation. Try to use coco peat, organic compost, and perlite for better drainage and healthier roots. Having put this mix in my container, moisture is assured, while the roots breathe well, especially since vertical plants can dry out quickly.

4. Pick Suitable Plants

The best Indian homes have these plant options:

The herbs are tulsi, mint, coriander, and basil.

Money plant, spider plant, and snake plant are some examples of indoor plants.

Spinach, tomato, methi, and lettuce make up the vegetable ingredients.

Marigold, petunia, and pansy are some wonderful types of annual flowers.

Plant using light and water as your guide. Adding flowers gives you a more attractive yard, while adding leafy vegetables gives you more nutrients.

5. Watering and Fertilization

Vertical gardens need to be watered more often since they dry out fast. Set up a drip irrigation system or irrigate by hand. Apply organic fertilizers to your plants about every 15–20 days. Water-retaining crystals or mulch is a good way for those just starting to save water and needing to water less.

Vertical Garden Maintenance Tips for Healthy Growth

In order to keep your vertical garden fresh all through the year, these simple yet effective maintenance tips should be followed:

1. Trim once every week to control growth and promote new healthy leaves.

2. Check the pests frequently—use natural spray such as neem oil or garlic solution to control them.

3. Plants of vertical gardens that are indoors should be rotated every now and then to expose them to equal light.

4. Use liquid fertilizer or compost tea to feed once a month to help promote stronger roots.

5. Test the moisture content of the wall so that it is not overwatered and the roots do not grow rotten.

6. Dust leaves simply by light wiping with a damp cloth and allowing photosynthesis to take place.

Periodic maintenance does not only make your plants healthy but also prolongs the lifetime of your vertical planting system. Thriving plants imply a renewing and fresh green wall in your store! for DIY pest control and composting tips, check SmartGardener’s Urban Gardening Tips
