How to Grow Lush Flowers in a Small Space 🌼
This technique allows your flowers to grow vertically instead of spreading outwards, making it ideal for small gardens, balconies, or limited spaces. Below are the materials and steps you’ll need to create your very own flower tower.
Materials Needed:
- A large pot
- Garden netting
- Plastic pipe (corrugated)
- Durable plastic canvas
- Self-locking ties
- Duct tape
- Stones for weight
- Plants and flowers of your choice
- A screwdriver to make holes
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pot
Start by cutting a section of garden netting to fit the flower pot, forming a cylindrical shape.
2. Seal the Plastic Pipe
Take the corrugated plastic pipe and seal one end with duct tape to ensure it’s closed off.
3. Position the Pipe in the Net
Place the sealed end of the pipe at the bottom of the garden net, and place stones in the bottom of the pot to secure the pipe in place.
4. Cover the Pipe
Wrap a durable plastic canvas around the net and pipe. Leave a few inches of extra canvas at the top, and use zip ties to secure it.
5. Add Soil
Fill the area around the pipe with potting soil, ensuring you cover the net completely. Then, fill the inside of the pipe with a mixture of compost, fertilizer, and potting soil.
6. Make Holes for the Plants
Use the screwdriver to poke small holes in the plastic canvas. These holes will be where you plant your flowers.
7. Plant Your Flowers
Carefully place your plants and flowers into the holes in the canvas, ensuring they are securely planted.
8. Water Regularly
Now that your flower tower is ready, all you need to do is water it regularly to encourage blooming.
