1.) Spider plant

A spider plant is a great first member of your grow wall because of how simple it is to care for. Spider plants are resilient, needing to be watered only weekly, and are not very sensitive to light and temperature. This is beneficial for a grow wall that displays a variety of plant species because your spider plant is likely to thrive in the conditions any other plants on your wall might prefer.2.) Snake plant

Given the stunning architecture and dynamic colors of the snake plant, they are surprisingly easy to care for. They can survive in a wide range of lighting conditions and only need to be watered every few weeks, so you can largely let your snake plant thrive independently. This plant is a notable addition to your grow wall because it is accommodating to most conditions, allowing you to focus on your other species, and its structure will add a unique element to the arrangement.3.) Dracaena (Dragon Plant)

Dracaena is a slow-growing plant, perfect for your wall because you won’t need to worry about it overgrowing faster than you can keep up with it! This plant requires minimal watering and indirect sunlight, making it easy to maintain when you are caring for numerous other plants. The leaves on this plant can grow in a variety of colors, some solid green and others showing yellow, orange, or red stripes. And a bonus: the dragon plant is one of the best air-purifying plants around!4.) Ivy

The Tulip Anthurium is a beautifully flowered indoor plant that will add variety to your wall.

Sprouting purple and pink flowers throughout the year, tulip anthuriums also provide a sweet scent and are excellent at purifying air. If you want to present a mixture of species on your grow wall, the tulip anthurium is not a plant to forget.8.) Philodendron Grazielae

Another vine that your grow wall will love is the Philodendron Grazielae. This vine produces heart-shaped leaves that have a rubbery, glossy texture.

The Prince of Orange variety Philodendron plant is a colorful and compact choice for plants for your living wall. It produces leaves that are shades of orange and yellow, in addition to green, adding a splash of color to your display.
