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

Start by finding the needed materials:

Wall-mounted pots, wooden pallets, or used containers

A mix composed mainly of lightweight soil substitutes (cocopeat, compost)

Either seeds or saplings can be planted (vegetables, herbs, flowers).

A system that sprays water or slowly drips it is needed for the plants.

(Preferably) organic compost for fertilizer

A wall or frame located in a place that gets at least 4–6 hours of sunlight

The house should be supported by hooks, brackets, or wooden frames.

Using recycled building and garden materials reduces your spending and makes gardening more eco-friendly. These fundamental supplies can be easily bought either at a nearby store or on Shanti Creations’ website.

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 window. 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.

Maintenance Tips for Healthy Growth

Prune plants once per week to make sure the growth stays under control and promotes healthy new growth.

Regularly check your plants for pests (use spray made from neem oil or crushed garlic to help).

Having underclocking rotate the plants in the window allows them to develop healthily.

Add a liquid nutrient or compost tea solution to your soil about once a month.

Look for any moisture in the walls, and do not overwater the plant to avoid the roots rotting.

Wipe off the dust from the leaves by using a damp cloth so that photosynthesis takes place easily.
