Adding plants to a living green wall is just like planting them in a garden. The plants need to be watered regularly, and they need to have the right temperature and light conditions to survive. They need to be disease-free.
The best type of plant for a green wall is one that is hardy and adaptable to a variety of environments. Evergreen plants tend to be preferable for an indoor or outdoor wall. They are usually more resistant to disease than other types of plants, so they should last longer.
The best way to find the right plants for your green wall is to consult with a local nursery. There are many different plants to choose from. Some plants can also be grown from seed. This allows for greater genetic diversity.
There are three common types of growing media for vertical gardens. These include loose media (soil), structural media (blocks of soil) and hydroponics.
Most media walls require an irrigation system and nutrients. Some systems are designed specifically for herbs or vegetables.
Living green wall planters are available in various sizes, shapes, and prices. The cheapest option is a small green wall with loose media. Alternatively, you can use structural media for a large professionally installed green wall.
Depending on the plants you use, you can expect your green wall to last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. A green wall will need to be pruned and deadheaded occasionally. This helps keep the wall looking its best.
