Step 1: Gathering My Tools
First things first, I gathered all my equipment. I spread out my Vertical Planter, Planter Boxes, and Stackable Pots. I also made sure I had my Wall-mounted Shelves ready to go. I’m feeling excited!

I then laid out my plan. Where will each planter go? I envisioned a cascading arrangement of my plants. I even drew a quick sketch to visualize my radiant plant wall.
Step 4: Installing the Wall-mounted Shelves
Armed with my Drill and Drill Bits, I carefully drilled holes into the wall for the Wall-mounted Shelves. I made sure they are level using my Level tool. Safety first!

I picked out my plants—succulents, ferns, and ivies. Carefully, I placed each plant in its new home, giving them a little squeeze to settle in. Their colors are poppin'!
Step 8: Labeling My Green Friends
To keep track of my leafy pals, I labeled each plant with Plant Labels. I felt like a proud plant parent giving my greenery names!

To supercharge my plants, I sprinkled some Plant Fertilizer in their soil. I know these beauties will thrive with a little extra love!
