The present investigation was carried out about vertical garden as one of the most popular greenery systems in the modern era with 5 plants and 5 media compositions, at the Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during Aug-2019 to Feb-2020 in Factorial Plot Design (5×5) with three replications. The data was recorded for 6 parameters. It is concluded from the results of the present investigation, that significant differences were observed for all the characters among the vertical garden plants. 5 vertical garden plants that are partial shade to shade loving were taken. 5 plants are P₁ Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum), P₂Variegated screw pine (Pandanus spp.), P₃ Sword fern (Nephrolepis exaltata), P₄Syngonium (Syngonium podophyllum), P₅ Ipomea (Ipomeabatatus var. black heart) and 5 media compositions are M₀- Garden soil, M₁-Perlite + Cocopeat + Sand(1:1:1), M₂- Perlite + Cocopeat + Sand (1:1:2), M₃- Perlite + Cocopeat + Sand (1:2:1), M₄- Perlite + Cocopeat + Sand(2:1:1). Among these in the parameter of increasing in plant height, the maximum plant height was recorded at 180 days in P₅ (Ipomea) (8.2cm) and in the plant height, maximum range of media was recorded at 180 days in M₄ (Perlite + Cocopeat + Sand (2:1:1) (3cm). In the increase in number of leaves, the maximum number of leaves was recorded at 180 days in P₅ (Ipomea) (4.1) and in number of leaves, the maximum range of media was recorded at 180 days in M₀ (Garden soil) (2.6cm). In the increase in plant spread, the maximum plant spread was recorded at 180 days in P₃ (Fern) (909.7cm) and in the plant spread, the maximum range of media was recorded at 180 days in M₁(Perlite + Cocopeat + Sand 1:1:1) (652.9cm). In the leaf area, the maximum leaf area was recorded at 180 days in P₃ (Fern) (104.2cm²) and in the leaf area, the maximum range of media was recorded at 180 days in M₁(Perlite + Cocopeat + Sand 1:1:1) (53.3cm²). In the fresh vegetative mass, the maximum fresh vegetative mass was recorded at 180 days in P₃ (Fern) (119.5g) and in the fresh vegetative mass, the maximum range of media was recorded at 180 days in M₄ (Perlite + Cocopeat + Sand 2:1:1) (108g). In the root spread, the maximum root spread was recorded at 180 days in P₃ (Fern) (21.7cm) and in the root spread, the maximum range of media was recorded at 180 days in M₃ (Perlite + Cocopeat + Sand 1:2:1) (20.8cm).
