🛠️ Vertical Garden Care Tips for Succulents

• Use well-draining soil designed for cacti and succulents
• Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between watering
• Choose a wall with adequate sunlight (at least 4–6 hours/day)
• Secure plants tightly, as gravity can shift them in vertical setups
• Rotate if indoors, so all sides get even light exposure
