DIY Plant Propagation Wall

Written By Reed Knauth

Do you love plants as much as me and want to grow more plant babies, without buying more? You need to propagate! I’ve been looking for a really beautiful way to add more plants to my painting studio, without compromising space and $$.

THE INSPO

I stumbled upon Christine’s plant wall from @forthehome and it is SO stunning. I got to work right away to replicate this look in my studio ♡

My plants at home are overflowing, so I gathered some cuttings and set out to look for an affordable, minimalist plant system. Nothing fit my vision and the only thing that came close was $15 for a set of two! And I needed at least 9-12 tubes minimum - so I knew I had to DIY. There’s a lot of methods, so I compiled what worked best for me. Some ppl use glue, magnets etc. - but I think velcro command strips are the cheapest, fastest and sturdiest. I hope this guide helps you create your own! We love our plant wall and will probably add even more over time.

Materials:

Steps:

  1. Mark the placement of your tubes on the wall with pencil - I spaced mine about 14 inches apart.

  2. Cut and attach all Velcro command strips for the wall and adhere. Let bond for 45 min or so.

  3. Adhere the other set of strips to your tubes. I put them on about 1in down on the tube so weight was distributed evenly.

  4. Once tubes are ready, with a narrow lipped water bottle, fill your tubes with water. I filled about an inch from the top so there was no spilling.

  5. Hang all tubes! The velcro is super strong and grips tight. I eyeballed some of the placements.

  6. Adjust and straighten tubes as needed. Insert your cute plant cuttings. Your work is done!

Enjoy friends ♡
