  • Horticus creates modular indoor living wall

    Horticus is showcasing its indoor living wall system as part of the Dezeen x Planted collaboration during this year’s London Design Festival.

    Designed by Horticus to bring plants into small indoor spaces, the system combines a hexagonal metal trellis frame that is screwed to a wall with hexagonal terracotta plant pots.
    “By focusing on our desire to nurture our carefully grown houseplants, Horticus rethought the living wall; made it more flexible, added lifestyle features and kept the practice of cultivation,” said the brand.

    Horticus’s modular system can create indoor living walls
    The system of tessellating hexagons means that small or large green walls can be created, with additional units added when required. As the units are modular, plants can be rearranged and replaced according to the owner’s requirements.

    “The Horticus terracotta plant pots can be lifted in and out of the frame for easy repotting or rearranging. The planters can also be watered in situ through a grid of watering holes,” said the brand.

    The small kit contains one frame and three terracotta planters
    For those wanting to add a little plant life into a room the Small Kit contains one powder-coated steel frame and three terracotta planters. For more ambitious indoor gardens the Medium Kit contains six planters and three frames, the Large Kit contains 12 planters and six frames and the Extra Kit has 24 planters and 12 frames.
