Ivy in a planter – is that even possible?
The answer: Yes – and it looks fantastic!
Many of our customers ask themselves: “Can I use ivy elements in a planter?”
The short answer: Yes, absolutely! Our ready-made ivy hedges are not only suitable for traditional garden soils, but also work wonderfully in planters – ideal for patios, balconies, or for mobile greening of courtyards.
What do I need to consider if I want to use ivy in a planter?
To ensure that your ivy element not only looks good but also remains stable and durable, there are a few things to consider:
✅ The right size of the planter
For optimal stability and sufficient root space, we recommend plant pots with the following dimensions.
Wooden container for 100 cm ivy elements: width 145 cm, height 40 cm, depth 40 cm
Wooden container for 180 cm ivy elements: width 145 cm, height 40 cm, depth 50 cm
A box that is too small will quickly cause the ivy element to tip over or the plants to not grow properly.
✅ Stability through squared timbers
To securely secure the ivy element, sturdy squared timbers should be installed on the left and right sides of the planter . These ensure the necessary stability – even in windy conditions.
✅ The material makes the difference
Plant pots made of durable wood not only look beautiful but are also weather-resistant. It's important that the wood is treated or suitable for outdoor use – this will ensure the planter remains stable and attractive for years to come.
