A while back I found the BrightGreen Living Wall Planter Kit online so I snatched one up. Ever since The Girl and I viewed the Desert Life Exhibit at the Gothenburg Botanical Gardens in Sweden last summer, I’ve been wanting to get a succulent garden started.
You can buy the whole kit and kaboodle on Amazon for a pretty penny, or you can also purchase the frame and mesh top separately and turn it in to a tabletop display as well. Either way, I think they are pretty cool.
The thing I like about the GroVert kit is there is a water tray at the base of the frame and a watering compartment {shown in my hand} at the top of the frame that gets hidden on the backside once the frame is planted.
Putting together the sedum and succulent living wall planter was really easy.
All I did was add about 1 cup of moistened potting soil to each cell, then drop the plant in.
Since there were 10 cells, I planted half with colorful succulents and the other half with sedums.
The I went back and added little bits of sedum in the corners and any spaces that were bare.
Viola! Now all I need to do is have the HH hang the living wall planter up for me and then watch it grow.
Wahooo. Gardening is cool!
