      Great idea and you are a great architect, too. It’s good to know that the thickness holds up the weight.
      I put timers on all of water pumps because they often malfunctioned and cooked my plants.

      @SerpaDesign Hi Tanner 👋 I've also been working with sphagnum moss in my projects. I recently was surprised to learn that sphagnum Moss might carry sporotrichosis fungus. The article I read recommends gloves and long sleeves. Have you heard of this?

    after watching channels like yours for a year or so i was able to gather enough inspo to make my own living wall with a few types of Monsteras. Its 4ft wide by 5 ft tall made from reclaimed curved acrylic and i made the interior support system form from expanding foam and cholla wood. Its about 6 or 7 months old now and really thriving so thank you for your channel to help me make my own home more beautiful and full of life. Its quite a conversation piece too!

    I just made this about six months ago. 48 x 72. I layered it with a stainless steel sheet as a backing, pool liner siliconed down, two plastic pvc sheets, and recycled felt as a medium. Added a gutter system as draining. I then added a drip system (tube, drip emmiters) and lasted a closed loop system for watering. I have over 60 plants in it and am still adding.
    When I created, there wasn't any information on creating, but inspiration of final product. I wish I had recorded the process to help others like you did. You rock! I may make some smaller ones for my bedroom using your technique.

A large living wall planter would keep the desk clear while allowing me to grow lush foliage to brighen things up.

They need a vertical surface that will let their roots attach and I've been puzzling over a setup for more than a year now. This video gave me some tremendous ideas on how to provide what they need without having to wet the growing surface by hand daily and making a GBM (Great Big Mess).
