Plants for Vertical Gardens and Herbs
Vertical Gardens
Vertical gardens are a fantastic way to bring greenery into small spaces and add a touch of nature to urban environments. Here are some plants that thrive in vertical gardens:
1. Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
Pothos is a popular choice for vertical gardens due to its low maintenance and air-purifying qualities. Its trailing vines create a beautiful cascading effect.
2. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
Spider plants are known for their air-purifying abilities and easy care. They produce baby spider plants that dangle from the mother plant, perfect for vertical displays.
3. Ferns
Ferns like the Boston Fern or Maidenhair Fern thrive in vertical gardens with their lush, feathery foliage. They prefer indirect light and high humidity.
