Es ist ungefähr 6" x 7’10"Ein 36×6" Pflanzgefäß als Maßstab. Wir sind nicht dagegen, den Teppich zu entfernen, aber wie können wir ihn sichern/wasserdicht machen, ohne dass er schäbig aussieht?

Bottom fed planters, same size as the black one, with two 4ft full spectrum lights?
I’d use anti-tip kits made for furniture to secure bottom watering planters to the wall. The plants should block most of the hardware.
Doesn’t look like there is enaugh light in there. Hope you are planing for growlights..
What is that space supposed to be for anyway? And why is it carpeted?

One long wooden dowel and some wall hooks would secure it pretty well, without looking too trashy (hopefully) 🤞
I would cover the carpet with something more flat, like a piece of wood or something. The pots will sit flatter and it will protect that carpet. Check what direction your window is facing and pick plants accordingly. Low light plants like zz etc is probably your best bet. Good luck. If you do something, I’d love to see a follow up pic. 🙂
Remove carpet
First : is the light coming from above, front or side ?
Second : is-it usually warm or cold ?
Basically build some steps on it

I’d put a bit of wood on the bottom or remove the carpet to make a shelf. Then, add another length of wood along the side to make a box.
Inside of that box, add some plastic trays that you can place plants on without worrying about leaks when you water them. If you use black or transparent trays, they won’t be very noticeable due to the shadows and foliage.
With light!
Not with children & it lacks adequate light. My ex-husband, who worked in commercial construction, always called it wasted space.
Cascading wood steps
Put as much water protection as u can. You do not want ink caps growing from ur walls in 5yrs. Line that spot with plastic and secure it so incase any water does leak it’s easy clean up.
Is there a skylight or a window across from it that we can’t see? I suspect there’s a better spot for plants. The ledge isn’t wide enough for anything to mature enough for a repot.
If you have an outlet somewhere, this is what I would do – I’d tear out the carpet and replace with vinyl flooring or tile, mount a narrow shelf on the wall above it, and install under shelf plant lights. Then I’d choose plants that stay compact and small like succulents (bonus, you won’t have to water as often). Use the ledge/shelf to display some framed art. Spend some time really looking for nice square or rectangular ceramic pots that fit your aesthetic.
There’s no such thing as a truly low light plant, just ones that take longer to die and don’t look bad quickly when deprived of light.
Lmao, I am also a subscriber of /r/POTS which is for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia… I didn’t realize where this was posed and my first thought was “that ledge is WAY too small to faint on” 😆
Guess I’ve been more health-focussed than plant-focussed lately
That’s obviously a ledge for cats!
Make shelves so you have cute little steps and your plants sit flat. Like a little wedge would do it.
Could also get some wall mounted planters done with bottoms to match the angle. Any decent 3D modeler could do it and you could print in colors to match your color scheme. Probably cheaper than some other options if you don’t want to spend a ton of money.
Drip trays could be tricky on the pots but still doable and then your water is contained and you’ve made a great space.
I hope you don’t have cats that like to knock ‘em over
I’d remove the carpet obviously and put down something like wood or flooring and I personally would put magnets on it and on the bottom of the pots just to assure they don’t tip off of the shelf because it does look a little narrow! Cute spot though and I think they’ll look great! 🪴
Are you going to add full spectrum lights for the plants?
pots ledge, nice
I would also think about using the wall and try some wall gardening??? Although might be a PIA to water.
Why did I think that was a slide? 😆
Moss wall, build a bit of floating tiered shelving into moss wall. Plants. Timer grow lights if needed.
My cats would LOOOOOOOOOVE that
Do you have galvanized steel?
Step one: install a skylight
I wouldn’t. That is clearly a cat ramp.
