You don’t necessarily need a garden to… garden. We show you four alternatives to the normal flower pot to make an indoor garden.
On the subject of indoor gardening, especially flower pots,this time we have collected four unusual ideas, which are quick and easy to recreate. In addition to unusual planters, there is also a green DIY idea, which originates from Japan and can do without a flower pot. Try it, it works… and is one of the most unusual ways to make an indoor garden.
1. Make an indoor garden: Vertical garden made of PVC pipes
Vertical gardens are in full swing. A PVC or PU tube with intermediate floors and painted in the favorite color (as pictured above) serves as a planter. You can really hang this anywhere in the house. You can use PVC pipe, and then from PVC sheet cut the ‘shelves’ and glue them in with hot glue.
2. Pallet garden for the wall
Vertical Garden No. 2: In a few hours, with a pallet, you can make an indoor garden with our second version.
To do this, use a disposable pallet (smaller and lighter than the traditional pallets) that you reinforce with a crossbar at the top and bottom. Close the back with a solid plate of either PVC or other waterproof material (a double layer works even better).
Then attach coconut fibre or similar seed pot bags to hold the plant soil behind the crossbars, fill with potting soil and plant. Then hang the mini garden on ropes or chains.
3. Herbal wall: Simply hang up
An idea for indoors and outdoors is this herb wall. The frame can be made of a wooden frame covered with boards in individual size. For example, for a wall section in the kitchen.
The wooden substructure is attached to the wall with metal angles. Pre-drill a hole at the top of the galvanized sheet metal buckets and attach it with a screw. Simply place the plants in the buckets.
4. Make an indoor garden without planter: kokedama
Far Eastern inspired: In Japan, this way of cultivating carpentry is called Kokedama and means “mossball”.
To imitate these plant arrangements, which are very popular in the Far East, you need bonsai soil, clay powder, plate moss, thread or yarn and ornamental plants. In this case, small tree sprouts (jawand hornbeam) were used, but you can use all kinds of ornamental or houseplants.
Mix the bonsai soil with a little red clay powder and water to form a firm dough. Then form a ball with a small cavity in the middle. In these insert the root bale with some substrate and close the ball.
Wrap the ball with moist moss, press well and fix with a yarn. For pouring, place briefly in a dip and squeeze or water in a bowl.
