Growing orchids can be done in many ways. Some choose to grow them outside, some choose indoors, some even built elaborate growing facilities such as greenhouses and similar structures. But there is one place where you can grow them that they will surely love for most orchids are accostumed to this kind of living. This is by hanging them.

I always keep my eye open for tools to mount my orchids. I always need to free up space, too. I was browsing the internet and came upon this neat blog, Life on the Balcony. I realized that we had a lot of unused space on the walls all around me, and best of all it was a neat way to tidy up my collection of orchids, which were threatening to take over the conservatory.

Growing orchids has been a passion of mine for a very long time. Once I was buying orchids all the time, but I found that caring for orchids didn't have to mean buying more every week!

So vertical planting was a very neat and ideal solution to the sprawl of flowers in the conservatory. These Hang-A-Pot clips were simple to install.

I just drilled some holes and fix them to the wall, and I had orchids growing up the wall in no time. Not only did this make more much-needed space, but the wall looks really cool, much better than just putting up a picture or a mirror.

It looks like a piece of living, growing art. When friends come over they all tell me how neat it looks, and ask how I've done it. I offer to come around with my electric drill, but they say that if I can do it, then they are sure they can.

Caring for orchids or any other potted plants is simple with the system because you simply take down the pots if you are re-potting orchids or applying some orchid fertilizer, then put the pot back.

Also, you can change the order of the pots quite easily as necessary. Some plants may not be getting enough light, for example, or may be drying out in the position they are in, so you can just swap them around.

If I do fall back into my old ways and start buying more orchids, I can just start to use the opposite wall.

Orchids are one type of plants that are varied and resilient. Caring for orchids can give many garndeners pleasure and satisfaction. If by now you still have not discovered orchids, get one for yourself.There are so many orchid type that will suit your personality. And orchid care is one of the easiest thing to do on the planet. You do not need to be an expert orchid grower to be able to successfully and fruitfully grow one. All you need is patience and a dash of love.
