Not everyone has space in their home for a large succulent garden. Creating a vertical succulent arrangement with the Gro Vert Planter is an easy solution. Be sure to watch to the end to see how it turned out!
The Grow Vert planter is best for outdoor growers. It’s perfect for those who want to add a succulent garden to their home, but who don’t have the space, or want to keep it out of reach of children or pets.
I used two succulent trays from Mountain Crest Gardens in this arrangement. The succulents are cold-hardy, which is great for those in lower growing zones, but can also thrive in warmer climates as well!

03:52 – We want the plants to sit inside the planter so that they will stay in after being rooted, and the planter can be turned vertically
04:35 – I begin the arrangement with Sempervivum heuffelii
05:05 – I break up the roots before planting them in the soil so that they root easier
05:35 Use odd numbers of plants to create the best design, and draw your eye through the design of the arrangement
06:07 – Keep the leaves of your succulents above the edge of the planter
06:44 –Sempervivum heuffeliis creates unity, while the Sedums will create variety and texture to the arrangement
08:01 – Creating an S-curve with the Sempervivum heuffellii creates flow within the arrangement
08:32 – I’m filling in big holes in the arrangement with the remaining Sempervivum heufellii. I don’t want to use the Sedums to fill in large gaps
09:10 – You can see how I was able to create motion in arrangement, even though I planted in lines
09:28 – Fill in the gaps with Sedums and other Sempervivums

really, everything comes in it"s own time – found you yesterday the 27th of June on FB. I"ve been growing for about a year – now I will have guidance and idea's, Absolutely love this Vertical grower, I live in an apartment.
The finished planter looks great, it will inspire me to plant my container. Thanks for the video. It would be good to show how it hangs on the wall and with a drip line added at the top.
Being new to growing succulents I'm always afraid i'll hurt the plant handling it and the roots. Watching this video however looks like they can be handle ruffly and just ripped apart if needed. Thanks.
This looks awesome! I've been wanting to create one of these, but perhaps using a frame.
Looks great!!!
