The Problem
My class would like to create a vertical garden that beautifies the back wall of our classroom. The wall has metal grids that would be a perfect place to hang plant pots with hooks. The self-watering planter is made of high-quality PP plastic, which is light, strong, and durable. The flowerpot has a smooth surface, good load-bearing capacity, and is not easy to deform. Unlike my plant box, these pots can be temporarily removed and taken homes by my students during long breaks such as Winter or Summertime. I really like the self-water feature of these pots. The inner basket of the flowerpot has a cotton rope, which can provide enough water for the plants through the principle of penetration and water absorption; the excess water is stored at the bottom of the planter and provided to our plants when needed. The class and I also plan to grow many vegetables and fruits that are enjoyable in salads and snacks. These plants would look great in the vertical space.
