Green Wall

What is a green wall?

A green wall is an innovative system where plants grow vertically against a wall or facade instead of in the ground. This form of vertical greenery uses modular containers or panels that are attached to a fixed structure. Whether it concerns a plant wall outside against a fence or a plant wall inside the hallway; it creates a lush, living painting. The system features smart water management allowing plants to grow optimally in a small area, which is perfect for the modern, compact garden or home.

The benefits of a green wall?

Installing a green wall offers countless benefits for both your health and your environment. First, a plant wall acts as a natural air purifier; Plants absorb CO2 and release fresh oxygen, while filtering particulate matter from the air. Additionally, vertical greenery has an excellent sound-dampening effect, which is ideal for busy offices or city gardens. Some other advantages include: Natural insulation: retains heat in winter and cools in summer. Increased biodiversity by attracting birds and insects. Immediate atmosphere improvement and stress reduction in any room.

What to look for when buying a green wall?

When buying a green wall, the location is the most important factor. Consider carefully whether the plant wall will be hung in full sun, partial shade, or full shade, as this determines which plants are suitable. Additionally, pay attention to the sturdiness of the backing; A fully planted plant wall can become quite heavy, including water. Also, check if the system is modular so that you can easily expand in the future. Finally, the type of watering system is crucial: choose a system that suits your willingness to perform maintenance, ranging from manual watering to fully automatic irrigation.

What sizes of green walls are available?

The possibilities for a green wall are virtually endless thanks to the modular design. Compact starter sets are available that are perfect as a plant wall above a desk or on a small balcony. For larger projects, these panels can be linked together to provide an entire facade with vertical greenery. You can choose from vertical strips to create a column effect, or wide horizontal arrangements that completely mask a fence. Because the systems are adaptable, you can create both small accents and monumental plant walls that fit the exact dimensions of your specific wall or office space.

Where and how do I install my green wall?

You can mount a green wall almost anywhere, as long as the wall can support the weight. Outdoors, a wooden fence or a stone facade is an ideal spot for a plant wall. Inside the home or office, you can use a plant wall as an eye-catcher in the living room or as a partition between workspaces. During installation, ideally leave a small air gap between the system and the wall to prevent moisture problems. Use sturdy plugs and screws and ensure the system hangs level so that the automatic water distribution functions optimally across the entire wall.

How do I maintain my green wall?

The maintenance of vertical greenery is surprisingly simple. The most important aspect is watering; regularly check if the reservoir is filled or if the irrigation is flowing through properly. During the growing season, add liquid plant food to the water for a deep green color. For a neat plant wall, it is advisable to prune twice a year, removing dead leaves and shortening overly vigorous growers. For an plant wall outdoors, it is wise to check after the winter whether all plants have survived the frost well and, if necessary, fill in some gaps with new plantings.

Frequently asked questions about the green wall

Is an indoor plant wall harmful to the wall?

No, professional vertical greenery systems are waterproof on the back and are often installed with a small gap. This ensures that the water never comes into direct contact with your interior wall, preventing damp spots or mold formation and allowing your plant wall to be safely installed in any home.

Which plants are most suitable for a green wall?

For an outdoor plant wall, ferns, grasses, and ground covers such as Waldsteinia work excellently. Inside the home, air-purifying species such as Philodendron, Scindapsus, and the Fern are very popular because they grow quickly and provide a fully covering green effect in your vertical garden.

How does watering vertical greenery work?

Most systems for a green wall use a drip system or a capillary cloth. This ensures that every plant in the plant wall receives exactly the right amount of water. Some walls have a built-in reservoir that you fill manually, while larger walls are connected directly to the water supply.
