Many people dream of reconnecting with nature and seek ways to introduce plants into their immediate surroundings. Plants are known for their positive impact on living organisms. They produce oxygen and purify the air, maintain proper humidity levels indoors, and of course, delight with their beautiful appearance… One of the most modern methods of plant cultivation is vertical gardening, also known as ‘living green walls’. A vertical garden is a specially designed structure that allows plants to be grown vertically. Green walls are made from special panels designed to provide the best possible conditions for plant growth. In today’s post, we will introduce the Vertical Planter Planta Up system and show examples of using felt panels in various types of vertical gardens.

The idea of setting up your own green wall requires consideration of several issues. Where to place the vertical garden and what dimensions it will have? Are there water and drainage connections in the location where we plan to install it? Or perhaps it’s worth choosing a vertical garden with a water tank? Which plants for the vertical garden do we like the most, and which species are the easiest to care for? Of course, when planning a vertical garden for the first time, we worry about any difficulties that may arise during installation. That’s why it’s worth choosing simple and proven solutions and building a vertical garden from ready-made elements. Among plastic and metal solutions, the felt panel Vertical Planter by Planta Up stands out for its absorbency and air permeability. It’s worth getting to know its advantages and independently assessing which solution will work best on the planned green wall.
Advantages of a vertical garden with Vertical Planter panels by Planta Up
The Vertical Planter panels by Planta Up are the most important element of the green wall. They are very easy to install and do not require the use of professional tools. The panels are handcrafted in Poland from high-quality materials. Recycled plastic felt has been tested for permeability to provide plants with a material that mimics natural soil. The pockets of the panel allow roots to grow unrestricted. Stems of species such as Epipremnum aureum like to “climb” the panel, creating a dense green background for other plants. The back of the Vertical Planter panel by Planta Up is secured by a strong yet lightweight polypropylene board, which prevents water from escaping outside the vertical garden. Watering the plants on the green wall is automatic, with the entire watering process controlled by the controller. All these conveniences not only save the owner of the green wall time but, above all, ensure the plants’ long life in the best possible condition.
Inspirations, or a vertical garden with Vertical Planter panels by Planta Up
From Vertical Planter panels by Planta Up, you can create any type of living green wall. The panels are available in two standard types: a panel with twelve plant pockets and another model – a panel with 16 plant pockets of the same size. When planting the panel with plants, it’s worth considering not only preferences but also practicality. If the green wall is in a tight space, such as a corridor or staircase, it’s better to avoid large, space-consuming plant species such as ferns or Monstera, as initially small seedlings can occupy most of the space after a few months and make it difficult for residents to function. Inspiration can be drawn from the gallery of previous vertical garden projects made using Vertical Planter panels by Planta Up.
