Die Abmessungen des Pflanzgefäßes sind ca. 64 ”l x 12” W x 24 ”d.
Ignoriere die Verkabelung dort. Es ist aus und wird irgendwann durchgezogen und entsorgt.

From what I’ve gathered I should still plant everything in their own pots. My question then is where does the drainage water go? Just sits in a pan beneath everything? Will there be enough air for it to evaporate out? Is it worth trying to run new electric into the bottom so I could have a fan down there? I think the wiring was originally used for some form of uplighting because the previous owners left us a box labeled “planter uplighting”.
I think I’d like it to have a seamless planted look but everything I’ve read says not to just put in soil and plant like it’s any old garden. So with that, I humbly approach you r/indoorgarden folks for ideas and recommendations.
In terms of the plants, you could try ferns (only certain species) and maybe peace lily as things that can tolerate damper conditions (and lower light). Or EXCELLENT drainage, and any other plant you want – but then you’ll need grow lights.
For the specifics of how to set this up in terms of drainage etc, you’ll need someone very knowledgeable to pop in here or maybe to approach a professional. That will be the hardest part!
Assuming it’s sealed it may be easier to go the opposite way and fill it up with sphagnum or similar and a variety of plants that will grow well in that medium, e.g. carnivorous plants, orchids, epiphytes etc.
Put dirt in it and pothos . I built something similar for my patio years ago, the pothos tell me when to water them.

I’ve seen similar in mid century houses in magazines, with a whole row of snake plants (in pots sitting in the trough)
I’m jealous!
Individual large pots 100%
Snake plants. Need very little water and light
I would steer clear of species toxic to pets and children since it is counter height and within reach. Maybe some orchids that would not need too much water. Hoya would be perfect since it is semi-succulent and not toxic.
I would not recommend planting directly into that space. No matter what you do to waterproof it, I wouldn’t trust it to stay that way. I would put something in there to hold the plants up and maybe plant it long narrow pots like window boxes or balcony box style planters.
