Living walls are important to incorporate to your daily environment. Live plants benefit humans by increasing their overall health and mood. Read below to learn more about living walls.
Is a Living wall worth it?
Living walls, otherwise known as vertical gardens or green walls, are trending in landscape design as ways to elevate plants from ground level to eye level and beyond. They also camouflage walls, act as art and generate a peaceful feel.
From a practical standpoint, green walls can be gorgeous works of art. Living walls dampen sound and temper heat. The insulation factor can help decrease use of heating and air depending on the size of the wall but plants can also cool areas living walls are in.
Of course, plants also help remove toxins from the air so generally having them where none existed before is always a benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions
When installing living walls indoors, water containment is critical:
- The wall planters are rear-draining, and would include a rubber hose drain assembly to contain runoff water.
- The indoor wall planters hold twice the soil volume as the standard outdoor wall planters to provide ample growing space for a wide selection of tropical plants.
Outdoor living walls has more options for planter size, drainage method and water delivery.
- Large wall planters are available with a bottom drain or a rear drain option (when runoff water must be contained, such as over doorways or windows).
- Standard wall planters have a bottom drain option, and are most commonly used with annuals, edibles, succulents, and a number of cold-winter hardy perennials.
Functionally, living walls can be placed as high as your building infrastructure, plumbing, and ability to access it for maintenance will allow.
In climates with warm winter weather, irrigation will need to continue throughout the winter.
The infrastructure of the living walls can be installed in every season, with some caveats:
The irrigation system should not be activated at temperatures at or below freezing. Thus, the irrigation system will need to wait to be tested until temperature climbs above freezing. Nozzles should not be installed until the irrigation system has been tested and run to flush out any debris introduced during the installation. Generally, plants should be not be installed during winter. We recommend that they are held at the nursery until the spring.
