Another huge benefit of vertical gardens is that they attract birds, bees and other species of animals and insects, contributing to the balance of the local micro climate.

Tips for setting up a vertical garden at home
- Any room in the house can receive a vertical garden, provided it has the light and ventilation conditions necessary for the life of the plant;
- When choosing the plants that will make up your garden, give preference to those that require the same care. That is, nothing to mix full sun plants with shade plants;
- The vertical garden can be mounted directly to the wall with the aid of bamboo brackets, pallets or plastic. Another possibility is to leave it suspended, in which case the PVC pipes are widely used;
- Think about the type of irrigation: manual or automatic? For small vertical gardens, manual watering is sufficient, but for large walls - both in height and width, automated systems are ideal to ensure equal watering of all plants, as well as facilitating fertilizer timing that can be done with irrigation;
- If you do not have much availability and time to grow your vertical garden, choose plants that do not require as much care. A good choice is succulents;
- Plants that grow vertically in the wild are great options for such landscaping, such as ferns, boa constrictors and snakebeards. But there are others that are also used very successfully in vertical gardens. And that is the theme of the next topic.
