Plant ladder

Plants bring life to any room – and with this green plant ladder, they do so in a particularly stylish way. Whether by the window, in the kitchen, or in the living room: the slanted ladder becomes a charming showcase for herbs, houseplants, or flowering highlights. Taking up minimal space and maximizing impact, it's not only practical but also a real eye-catcher. Ideal for anyone who loves the urban jungle – but with a clever twist and a personal touch.

Material:

2 wooden strips, 2 m long and 3x3 cm thick
1 wooden strip, 2 m long and 2.5 x 2.5 cm thick
Wood paint and brush Tape measure Jigsaw Pencil
8 screws cordless drill
4 flower boxes including brackets

Here's how it's done:

STEP 1

Paint the wooden strips in a color that matches your home decor. Let them dry thoroughly.

STEP 2

The rungs are sawn from the narrower slat. Measure your flower boxes. Cut the rungs so that the boxes still rest on the outer wooden slats, providing support and preventing them from sagging. For example, for a 50 cm long balcony box, the rungs will be 42 cm long.

STEP 3

Once all the rungs have been cut to size, it's time to assemble them. To do this, place the side pieces on the ground, align the rungs, and then screw them in place. Leave 40–50 cm of space between each wooden rung. STEP 4 Finally, place the ladder at an angle against a wall or lean it against it. Now you can carefully hang your already planted balcony boxes on the rungs of the ladder.

Tip

Turn the planted boxes from time to time or alternate them from top to bottom so that each plant gets enough light.
