A vertical garden is a method of growing plants vertically, often on walls or other upright structures, utilizing space efficiently. It typically involves a support system, growing medium, and irrigation, allowing plants to thrive in urban or limited spaces. Vertical gardens offer benefits like improved air quality, aesthetic enhancement, and biodiversity support while requiring careful maintenance for optimal growth.
For a new installation in a bio-wall system, ensure secure attachment of the support structure and proper irrigation setup, then fill with a suitable growing medium. Plant selection is crucial for thriving vegetation. In a felt wall system, attach felt panels securely, providing adequate spacing. Select low-maintenance plants and establish a regular watering schedule. Monitor growth and adjust maintenance as needed for optimal health and aesthetics.
For existing vertical gardens, regular watering, pruning, and pest management are key to maintaining health and aesthetics. Check irrigation systems for efficiency and ensure structural integrity. For new installations, establish a consistent watering schedule and monitor plant health closely during the establishment phase. Fertilize appropriately based on plant needs and environmental conditions. Conduct seasonal inspections and adjust maintenance tasks accordingly for both existing and new vertical gardens.
