how to use the MODliv vertical planter
Planting a vertical garden is simple and easy. Displaying them for maximum effect to decorate your space, is a matter of a few carefully planned elements.
- CHOOSE A LOCATION FOR YOUR PLANTS TO LIVE
The wall hanging rack will occupy 25″ wide x 32″ vertical height on your wall. Ensure that this wall area is well lit so that the planters can thrive with lots of light. - CHOOSE A PLANTER
Choose a planter that is an appropriate size for the plant material, ensuring room to grow and with sufficient depth for roots to spread.
The MODliv 6″ cube planter is ideal for indoor and sheltered outdoor use, under a porch or awning. It includes a water reservoir but does not have an overflow stem or drain so be careful not to over-water the plants. The water reservoir will hold approximately 1″ of water. - CHOOSE YOUR PLANTS and SOIL
Plants will thrive best when they are planted in a compatible soil.
Succulent soil is typically sandy or contains larger dry aggregates such as gravel. This is to ensure water drainage to minimize rot.
Tropical plants also need porous, well-draining soil but typically includes loose organic material such as bark and leaf material.
Herbs grow well in garden soil, however woody herbs such as rosemary and lavender need a better draining soil. - PLANT
Fill the MODliv 6″ cube planter 3/4 full of the appropriate soil, and fill with 2-3 plants from 4″ nursery pots. For a 6″ nursery pot, choose only one plant per planter to prevent over-crowding and allow for plant to growth. - WATER AND MAINTENANCE USING THE VERTICAL PLANTING SYSTEM
