DIY Plant Wall

If your obsession with plants goes beyond your basic terracotta planters, take green-spiration (too cheesy?) from Studio Plants’ Jeannie Phan’s living wall. With a variety of low-light hanging plants (i.e. philodendrons and pothos) this apartment-friendly design needs only a few hanging planters and the willpower not to over-water to achieve.
