Vertical planting is a dream with the PlantBox system. Made from 100% recycled materials in a choice of stackable sizes.
A set of 3 priced at just £79.00 is a great starter kit when it comes to creating your own indoor or outdoor Living Wall.
Once planted up, simply stack your PlantBoxes & fix the back to a suitable wall or frame.
In this video Michelle demonstrates just how easy the 3 box kit is to put together, & how versatile they can be to display.
For house plants we’ve experimented with the carnivorous pitcher plant Nepenthes in the top trough, as it likes the soil to be consistently damp with mineral free rainwater.
Remember not to use any chemical fertilizers with Nepenthes as they catch their own bugs! But if you want to make it interesting, drop a single dead insect into a pitcher once a month!
In the lower troughs we’ve planted Epipremnum Aureum ‘Marble Queen’ loved for its trailing creamy/white & green variegated leaves.
When watering your Living Wall remember is gravity fed, meaning the top trough will retain its water with any excess cascading into the troughs below.
In the example shown we wanted the top trough to remain full with only enough excess in the troughs below to make the soil wet, for we know the Epipremnum needs to be dry in between watering.
Each PlantBox kit comes with everything you need to set up your Living Wall - simply choose your compost/potting mix & plants and have fun with it!
For house plants we like to use .horticulture potting mix, as a superb quality all rounder.
For outdoor plants, the organic range is right up there when it comes to getting your Living Wall planting off to a fine start.
Enjoy browsing our Plantbox range as a Devon stockist along with our planting examples next time you visit us.

Astronomically Autumn | Equinox marks the time when day & night are equal in length. Summer light will slowly fade. Our days becoming shorter & cooler.

The gentle transition to all things cozy inside. Late-flowering blooms aglow outside, with new season bedding, shrubs, grasses, fruit trees, evergreens, berries, ferns & foliage remind us of the beauty October can bring.
