How the hell do you water that shit without it getting everywhere?

Leave a hole on the side (or the top if you envision it on the wall) and pour water into it.

>> No.109525

>>109513
lay them flat & pour water over them
succulents don't need that much water
so you only have to do it about every other week
so no biggy

Nice plant selection OP.

Can you tell me the name of the hanging plant in the middle ?

>> No.109645

>>109521
And HOW does that stop the water from draining out the side that isn't solid, and running down the wall and ruining your floor?

>> No.109650

None of those plants require much water. You could probably even get away with misting them with a squirt gun every few weeks.

Nothing personal but why the hell would you use vertical techniques to grow sideways cactii instead of something useful like herbs?

I made one of these for class, using an old shelve like a structure.

>> No.110489

And why is that??? Why would something like that be more prone to mold that any other kind of planter??? Explain yourself...

i have a huge yard
&
a big veggie & what not garden
so i have no reason to grow things like herbs in pots

Wood absorbing moisture from the soil and being left in a warm environment is my guess. You could probably just line the box though.
