Of course yes! This is the answer of many who have at least a lit­tle encoun­tered the issue of fill­ing the room with liv­ing plants. But do not con­sid­er this craft too sim­ple. We need to sort it out in order.

What does ver­ti­cal gar­den­ing mean? Any place­ment of plants, liv­ing or arti­fi­cial, in a ver­ti­cal plane. At the same time, in order to cre­ate the effect of a green wall, both the prin­ci­ple of tiered place­ment of plants and the abil­i­ty of some species to start up their shoots and grow up or down from the place where they were plant­ed are used.

Shelving and hanging planters

For exam­ple, they placed a hang­ing planter with some kind of ampelous plant high under the ceil­ing, and shoots grad­u­al­ly descend­ed from it in the form of a beau­ti­ful falling crown. In such a sim­ple way, you can prof­itably use the emp­ty space in the inte­ri­or and cre­ate com­fort in the room. In fact, this is one of the meth­ods of ver­ti­cal phy­to-design, which is wide­ly used by pro­fes­sion­al gar­den­ers.

You can also eas­i­ly cre­ate a green wall using a sim­ple shelv­ing unit from Ikea with through cells. If you place plants with a fair­ly lush crown in the cells and place a rack, you will not only dec­o­rate the room, but also per­form one of the meth­ods for divid­ing the inte­ri­or into zones, cre­at­ing cozy cor­ners for work and leisure.

Partitions in a cafe

This method is often seen in some restau­rants or cafes. Expe­ri­enced design­ers zone the rooms in this way and form the atmos­phere of a sea­side resort or some­thing like that. This tech­nique is in demand among restau­ra­teurs for anoth­er rea­son. Green par­ti­tions made using this tech­nol­o­gy can be eas­i­ly moved from place to place, chang­ing the con­fig­u­ra­tion of the inter­nal space, depend­ing on the task. For con­ve­nience, par­ti­tions are equipped with small rollers to make it pos­si­ble to move even the weak­er sex, with­out call­ing spe­cial ser­vices.

Watering and care

Always plac­ing plants in the inte­ri­or, you have to think about how con­ve­nient it will be to take care of them. This is espe­cial­ly true for ver­ti­cal land­ings. The meth­ods described above using shelv­ing, shelves and oth­er tiered struc­tures pro­vide fair­ly easy access to plants. If the plant is sus­pend­ed from the ceil­ing at a suf­fi­cient­ly high height, then the task of water­ing becomes much more dif­fi­cult. It is bet­ter to fore­see the pos­si­bil­i­ty of easy low­er­ing and lift­ing of the planter with the plant for its reg­u­lar main­te­nance.

This is not to be puz­zled if you com­plete the task of form­ing a green par­ti­tion by means of ivy plants capa­ble of climb­ing up the sur­face. In prac­tice, pots are used with strings or lat­tices stretched upwards insert­ed or fixed in them. Per­haps this is one of the most dif­fi­cult ele­ments of phy­to-design, which can be done by a non-pro­fes­sion­al with their own hands.

What is described below, as a rule, is avail­able for man­u­fac­ture only by spe­cial­ists.

Moss on plywood

It is worth men­tion­ing the two most char­ac­ter­is­tic forms of ver­ti­cal phy­to-design from the arse­nal of com­pa­nies spe­cial­iz­ing in land­scap­ing.

First­ly, phy­to-pan­els and phy­to-walls coat­ed with sta­bi­lized moss. This is the most fre­quent attribute of green­ery in mod­ern offices and oth­er pub­lic places, seek­ing to posi­tion them­selves in a mod­ern way.

In prin­ci­ple, there are no com­plex tech­nolo­gies in these ver­ti­cal struc­tures. In most cas­es, moss is glued onto a sheet of ply­wood of a cer­tain size, which must first be cleaned of debris and dried. Then ply­wood with moss is attached to the main walls or par­ti­tions in those places where they will make the strongest impres­sion. The tac­tile sen­sa­tions when stroking are won­der­ful. If such green walls are pro­vid­ed with light­ing, then the whole struc­ture will impress with its appear­ance too.

Live plants with automatic watering

Sec­ond­ly, in the cre­ative palette of land­scap­ers there is such an argu­ment as ver­ti­cal struc­tures from liv­ing plants with light­ing and an auto­mat­ic water­ing sys­tem. There are sev­er­al vari­eties that can be viewed here. The part is based on plas­tic mod­ules attached to a ver­ti­cal frame. The oth­er part in the base has a web of some kind of porous mate­r­i­al, in which there are cells for plant­i­ng, and which is also attached to a ver­ti­cal base or direct­ly to the main wall.

In both cas­es, the whole struc­ture has a built-in irri­ga­tion sys­tem and, if nec­es­sary, lamps for addi­tion­al illu­mi­na­tion of plants. If desired, detailed draw­ings of such mas­ter­pieces of phy­to-design and engi­neer­ing can be found on the Inter­net. How­ev­er, it is worth weigh­ing every­thing sev­er­al times before decid­ing to man­u­fac­ture such a green wall on your own with­out detailed con­sul­ta­tion with spe­cial­ists.
