Indoor Garden – vertical plant stands for your home.

The indoor garden brings together several houseplants in a small space, transforming them into a vibrant design feature for living rooms, offices and conservatories. Instead of scattering individual plant pots across window sills, shelves or the floor, it creates a cohesive vertical green space.
The design is based on the tried-and-tested principle of our foldable raised bed, but has been specifically developed for upmarket indoor use. Carefully sanded wood, precisely finished edges and a hard-wax oiled surface give the indoor garden the character of a high-quality piece of furniture. The natural grain remains visible and the surface has a pleasantly silky feel.

Your benefits at a glance:

    • Freestanding, no drilling required
    • Quality furniture for interiors
    • More light for every level of plants
    • Controlled irrigation from below

 

The indoor garden stands freestanding in the room and requires neither drill holes nor wall fixings. This allows it to be set up flexibly and moved to a different location if required. The deliberately minimalist design and the staggered arrangement of the planters allow as much light as possible to reach the individual planting levels. This is a key advantage in indoor spaces where natural daylight is often limited. Each planter box forms a separate planting level and can be filled with standard potting compost, mineral substrate or expanded clay. The integrated watering system supplies the plants from below, reduces soil compaction and promotes good oxygenation in the root zone.

The indoor garden thus combines practical plant care with high-quality furniture design – for more greenery, a more pleasant sense of space and a natural atmosphere indoors.

An indoor vertical garden.

The Indoor Garden was developed to bring greenery to high-quality interior spaces. It brings together several plants within a compact footprint, making full use of the room’s height. Together, the individual planting levels form a vertical display of plants without the need for any structural alterations to a wall. This makes the system particularly suitable for rented flats, offices, reception areas, conservatories and rooms where wall mounting is not possible or desirable. Unlike traditional plant shelves, the Indoor Garden focuses not on storage space but on the optimal presentation and care of the plants.

A tried-and-tested design, reimagined for interiors.

In terms of design, the Indoor Garden is based on the construction of our foldable raised bed. However, the basic concept has been adapted to the requirements of indoor use. Whilst the foldable raised bed was developed for balconies and patios, the Indoor Garden is intended as a cosy piece of plant furniture. The woods used, the sanded surfaces and the hard wax oil finish give it a much more refined, furniture-like appearance. Nevertheless, the design remains functional and uses materials sparingly. The reduced use of materials is not an end in itself: slender components and large gaps allow more light to reach the plants and prevent the structure from appearing visually heavy or bulky.

High-quality wooden surfaces.

The wooden components are carefully sanded and then treated with hard wax oil. This treatment brings out the natural grain of the wood and creates a smooth surface that is pleasant to the touch. The hard wax oil penetrates the wood whilst simultaneously forming a protective surface. This makes the wood more resistant to everyday wear and tear and to brief exposure to water from watering cans. Nevertheless, as with other high-quality wooden furniture, any excess water should be mopped up promptly. Prolonged dampness or standing water on the wooden surface should be avoided.

Designed to provide better light distribution.

Light is often the limiting factor for healthy plant growth indoors. Unlike outdoors, daylight usually enters the room only through individual windows. For this reason, the design of the indoor garden has been deliberately kept open and minimalist. The individual planters are not stacked directly on top of one another, but are arranged in such a way that even the lower levels receive as much light as possible. The open design reduces mutual shading and allows for better air circulation between the plants. Nevertheless, the indoor garden should be set up in a sufficiently bright location and positioned to suit the chosen plants. Castors can be fitted as an optional extra or are available on request.

Watering from below.

The plants are not watered exclusively from above, via the surface of the soil. The water is directed in a controlled manner to the lower part of the planter, where it is available to the roots. The plant can absorb the water it needs via its roots or via a wick. This keeps the upper layer of growing medium looser and prevents it from becoming too compacted when watering.

These are the benefits:

  • a more consistent water supply
  • looser potting compost
  • improved oxygen supply to the root zone
  • less splash on the leaves and the surrounding area
  • more controlled watering in the home
  • longer intervals between casting operations

 

However, the water reservoir is no substitute for regular checks. Actual water requirements depend on the type and size of the plant, the time of year, the room temperature and the location. You should always carry out a finger test.

Suitable for various substrates.

The indoor garden can be used with a variety of growing media.

Suitable options include, amongst others:

  • high-quality potting compost
  • eramis or similar plant granules
  • Expanded clay

 

The growing medium should always be chosen to suit the specific plant species. With soil in particular, a loose, structurally stable mixture is recommended, one that can retain water whilst allowing sufficient air to reach the roots.

Caring for wooden surfaces.

The surfaces are very hard-wearing. A soft, slightly damp cloth is sufficient for regular cleaning. Harsh household cleaners, abrasive cleaners or strongly alkaline cleaning agents should not be used. Depending on the level of wear and tear, the oiled surface can be refreshed at a later date. A maintenance oil suitable for the existing surface finish should be used for this purpose. Before treatment, the surface must be clean and completely dry. Care products should first be tested on an inconspicuous area.

 

Frequently asked questions about vertical indoor gardens.

Does the indoor garden need to be mounted on the wall?

No. The indoor garden is a freestanding structure and does not need to be fixed to a wall. There is no need to drill holes or insert wall plugs.

How does the indoor garden differ from the fold-away raised bed?

Both products are based on a similar design principle. However, the fold-out raised bed was designed for balconies and patios. The indoor garden, on the other hand, is a piece of plant furniture for indoor use and features sanded, hard-wax-oiled wooden surfaces with a more refined and homely appearance.

Is the indoor garden suitable for outdoor use?

The indoor garden is primarily intended for sheltered indoor spaces. The woods and finishes used are not designed to withstand prolonged exposure to the elements, such as rain, frost and intense sunlight. For balconies and patios, the foldable raised bed made from weather-resistant materials is the better choice.

Is the wooden surface protected against water?

The hard-wax-oiled surface is water-repellent and suitable for normal indoor use. However, any excess or spilled water should be wiped up promptly. Prolonged exposure to moisture and standing water should be avoided.

Can the indoor garden be placed on parquet flooring?

Yes. The indoor garden is designed to be used with standard furniture glides and can be placed on parquet or wooden floorboards. Furniture castors can be fitted as an option. The base frame is therefore wider to provide sufficient space for fitting them. When watering, care should be taken to ensure that no water gets onto the floor or remains under the structure for any length of time.

How bright does the location need to be?

That depends on the plants you choose. For most houseplants, a bright spot with indirect daylight is ideal. The further away your indoor garden is from the window, the less light there will be.

Do the plants at the bottom get enough light as well?

The minimalist, open design and the staggered arrangement of the planters have been devised to minimise mutual shading. Nevertheless, the actual amount of light depends on the location, the orientation towards the window and the size of the plants above.

Which plants are suitable?

A wide range of compact and trailing houseplants are suitable, such as pothos, philodendron, spider plant, ferns, peperomias and peace lily. In particularly bright spots, various kitchen herbs can also be used.

Can I use ordinary potting compost?

Yes. The indoor garden can be planted using high-quality potting compost. The growing medium should be loose, structurally stable and suitable for the plant species in question.

Can I use Seramis or expanded clay?

Yes. Mineral-based growing media such as Seramis, expanded clay or similar planting granules can also be used. Watering must be adapted to the specific growing medium and plant species.

How does the irrigation system work?

The water is poured into the lower part of the planter. From there, it can reach the growing medium via the plant roots or a wick. This means the soil is less likely to become compacted from above.

Could the irrigation system cause waterlogging?

The system allows for a more controlled water supply and, when used correctly, reduces the risk of waterlogging. However, you should not consistently add more water than the plants can absorb. The water level should be checked regularly.

How often should you water the plants?

This depends on the type of plant, its location, room temperature, the time of year and the growing medium. In summer or in heated rooms, water requirements can be significantly higher than during the darker winter months.

Are the planters removable?

Yes. The planters can be removed individually for planting, maintenance or cleaning.

Can the indoor garden be rearranged?

Yes. As no wall mounting is required, the indoor garden can generally be moved to a different location. Furniture castors are useful on softwood floors such as spruce or pine. Before moving it, heavy planters should be removed if necessary, and any standing water should be checked.

Is the indoor garden delivered fully assembled?

The foldable base structure is designed for quick and easy assembly. The exact assembly instructions and contents of the delivery depend on the version selected.

Are the plants and growing medium included in the delivery?

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the relevant product selection, plants and growing medium are not included in the delivery.

Can I re-oil the wooden surface at a later date?

Yes. If necessary, the surface can be refreshed using a suitable care product. The oil used should be compatible with the existing hard wax oil finish.

Is the indoor garden suitable for offices?

Yes. Thanks to its freestanding design, high-quality wooden finish and compact vertical greenery, this indoor garden is ideal for offices, meeting rooms, reception areas and medical practices.

Is the indoor garden suitable for a bathroom?

In principle, it can be used in well-ventilated bathrooms. However, persistently high levels of humidity, splashes of water and inadequate ventilation can damage wooden surfaces. For extreme environmental conditions, we recommend the raised bed made of aluminium.

Can a plant grow light be added?

Yes. In low-light locations, a suitable plant grow light can be used. It should be positioned so that all levels of the plants are illuminated as evenly as possible.
