You’ve likely seen walls of plants decorating an increasing number of indoor and outdoor walls in recent times. The world has caught on to the fact that to protect and heal our environment we need to reduce the temperature and amount of dangerous particles floating around in our air. And living plants offer the ideal solution.
Living plants, not plastic plants, do exactly that. They help moderate and clean our air as well as improve the ambiance and aesthetics of any area. The wall filters particulate matter from the air, converting CO2 into oxygen. Only one square meter of living wall extracts approximately 2.3 kg of CO2 per annum from the air and produces 1.7 kg of oxygen.
Why Living Walls?
Living walls and small vertical growing units, aka Living Pictures, can be used to beautify, purify, and greenify your indoor and outdoor spaces at home and work. They are frequently used to cover unattractive walls or simply installed for their beauty and health-giving properties.
Greenify London offers a whole range of living walls and pictures. They can be built to any size, with the smallest being just 52 cm². The majority of our systems have built-in irrigation systems, making them simple to manage and giving your plants every chance of staying happy and healthy. This, in turn, reduces the chance of your plants attracting insects into your spaces.
Are You a DIY Enthusiast?
Do you have the time, interest, and skill to create your own living wall? If you do, that’s great as we know gardening, indoors or outdoors, is good for our environment and our personal well-being. We’re designed to like being close to nature.
Many of our home users enjoy the process of fitting and planting their own walls and pictures. However, commercial users such as offices, cafes, restaurants, and well-being clubs frequently prefer us to do all the work for them.
We offer a free design consultancy to help you maximize the benefit of your living wall. We also offer to carry out the installation, planting, and ongoing management of your living wall, if that’s how you’d rather proceed.
Steps to Create Your Own Living Wall
Choose Your Location: Decide where you want your living wall. It could be indoors or outdoors, on a sunny wall, or in a shadier spot.
Select Your Plants: Choose plants that suit the environment where your wall will be placed. Consider factors like light, temperature, and humidity. See our Plant Guide.
Install the Structure: You’ll need a frame to support your plants. This can be a pre-made system with built-in irrigation or a custom-built frame.
Set Up Irrigation: A good irrigation system is crucial. You can install a drip irrigation system to ensure your plants get the right amount of water.
Plant Your Wall: Start planting! Arrange your plants in a way that maximizes their growth potential and aesthetic appeal.
Maintain Your Wall: Regular maintenance is key to a thriving living wall. Make sure to water, prune, and replace plants as needed.
