The aluminum frame and spinning blades make a perfect support for ivy to grow and expand, keeping its vibrant green look all year.

Trellises and Supports Installation

To achieve a thriving vertical garden, it is crucial to install trellises and other supports. Consider using durable materials that enhance the aesthetic appeal of your pergola while also enduring harsh weather conditions. Follow these guidelines for proper installation:

  • Metal supports are not only long-lasting, but they can also be painted to seamlessly blend in with the color scheme of your pergola.

  • Wire mesh is an ideal option for fragile climbers, such as clematis and ivy.

Make sure to firmly attach the trellises onto the posts of the pergola and direct the plants as they develop, making certain that they get sufficient support.


Maintenance for your Outdoor Activities

To keep your vertical garden healthy during your fall season outdoor activities, it is vital to upkeep. Consistently inspect and remove any pests or diseased leaves from the plants, while also confirming they receive sufficient water. Additionally, here are some extra pointers:

  • To help keep the soil moist and maintain its temperature, mulch should be applied around the base of your plants.

  • For healthy growth, utilize a balanced fertilizer during fertilization.

  • To safeguard sensitive plants, it is recommended to install protective coverings during frost warnings.
