Build a wall plant holder

This pretty plant holder makes a living mural, bringing nature into your home in a fun and original way.

Of course, it calls for plants that do not mind growing in a horizontal position. Succulents, planted in peat moss instead of soil, are the ideal choice. Kalanchoes, sansevierias, dracaenas, and even African violets or orchids, are just some of the species you could choose. The holder should be placed in a location that receives plenty of light.

To water the plants, simply remove the holder from the wall and place horizontally. Leave to drain before hanging back on the wall.

Built from birch, this plant holder is 13 ¼" wide by 36" high and 3" deep. It is assembled using wood biscuits and wood glue only.
