Vertical gardening system
The Plantominium
The Plantominium is a new way to garden vertically. It unfurls from a small envelope into a 5-foot-tall condominium for plants. It will hold six 4.5-inch round, 4-inch square (with beveled corners) or 3.5-inch square pots in thick polyethylene loops. The Plantemonium hangs from included s-hooks and screw eyes and rotates 360 degrees with the included swivel.
