Questions & Answers

Water flows gravitationally from the top through the vertical surface, nourishing the roots and keeping the plants alive.

On a green wall, you can grow most plants. However, it’s challenging to determine if each of them will thrive equally. Providing suitable lighting, as well as water and nutrients, is essential for the growth of selected plants.

The Vertical Planter PlantaUp system costs around 1100 PLN gross per square meter. In addition to the panel cost, the value of plants and installation with additional features should also be considered. These additional costs can range from 240 to 1500 PLN gross per square meter. Price variations depend on the type of plants, the installation method, access to the installation, and the height of the garden.

Opting for a simple vertical garden structure and planting it with small plants can turn out to be very cost-effective.

The watering of the green wall is partially automated. At user-defined intervals, water is delivered to the top row of plants. It then flows gravitationally downward, permeating through the felt in the back of the panel.

The frequency of watering a green wall depends on the type of plants growing on it. Each plant has its own water requirements, influenced by factors such as the environment in which they are situated. More information regarding watering can be found in the section dedicated to watering vertical gardens.

Yes, vertical gardens can be installed indoors. In such cases, it is important to provide an appropriate watering system for the indoor vertical garden with living plants.

Research conducted by NASA identifies which plants are most effective at filtering toxins from the air.

Typically, we recommend plants that have the most positive impact on indoor air quality.

Not all plants on green walls repeat flowering. It’s true that some cut flowers placed in pockets can absorb moisture and behave like in a vase; we recommend experimenting in this regard.

Green walls are durable and can thrive for many years. This depends, among other factors, on proper and periodic maintenance. Without it, plants on the living wall may require replacement after 2/3 years. However, with good care, they can live in good condition for a long time.

Vertical Planter PlantaUp panels can be cleaned and reused for seasonal plantings. The plastic felt is extremely durable and resistant to UV radiation and damage.

Typically, it’s not a problem, but large outdoor vertical gardens planted with native species may attract wild birds that forage on plants seasonally. Living walls can serve as habitats for birds in urban areas.

Green walls are capable of providing an adequate amount of moisture in their vicinity, especially near the plants themselves. Living walls do not create an excessive amount of moisture.

Water from irrigation is drained through the back of the felt, which dries between watering cycles, effectively preventing the formation of mold.

White deposits may appear in areas with high humidity, low temperature, and poor air circulation. In such cases, adjusting the environmental conditions around the wall is advisable.

Most often, plants protrude a distance ranging from 10 to 70 centimeters from the panels of the green wall. This depends on the species of the planted plants. The system itself is compact, and with air dilation, it takes up 7 centimeters.

Vegetables and herbs can be successfully grown on a green wall. It’s important to ensure they receive adequate lighting, as well as providing them with water and nutrients.

It’s advisable to apply very small amounts of fertilizer frequently. It’s important to note that excessive fertilization is not beneficial for plants.

When planting new plants, adding slow-release fertilizer pellets is recommended. This allows the plants to feed on it for a period of about 6-12 months. With subsequent regular fertilization, it’s best to wait until the plants visually appear slightly paler.

Each plant requires a specific amount of light to thrive. Some plants can get burned in direct sunlight. We recommend that the minimum amount of light directed at the green wall should not be less than 800 lux and should not exceed 2000 lux per square meter. This should be determined based on the type of lighting and the species of plants. More information about lighting can be found in the section on illuminating a vertical garden.

Plants for a green wall can be purchased at a local gardening center or plant nursery.

The Vertical Planter PlantaUp panels are best hung on an aluminum profile. This material will separate the wall from the panels with plants and create space for air circulation. The mounting method depends on the location designated for the green wall. The living wall can also be hung on the top felt and hooks.

Architects design gardens that require building permits. Smaller installations, such as a vertical garden hung on hooks or felt, can be installed by anyone, as they are not considered permanent fixtures.

The vertical garden without plantings weighs about 7kg. After planting the panels and watering the plants, the weight ranges around 25kg per square meter.

Yes, it is possible. The Vertical Planter PlantaUp panels, available in several sizes, can be mounted in various shapes. It is also possible to individually adjust the dimensions or use a thinner, more flexible board.

The Vertical Planter PlantaUp panels are designed for easy removal and replacement of plants. Simply remove the wrapped plant and replace it with a new, freshly wrapped and fertilized one. We recommend watching our instructional video on how to plant a vertical garden.

The Vertical Planter PlantaUp panels are made of PET plastic, which can withstand temperatures below freezing.

The Vertical Planter PlantaUp panel is made of synthetic material that is resistant to high temperatures and UV radiation. Additionally, the leaves protect the felt from the sun’s rays by covering the panels.

Most vertical gardens are installed on the wall. To move them, you would need to disassemble the entire installation and relocate it to another place, taking into account the irrigation connections. However, mobile vertical gardens are designed for easy movement.

Plants on the green wall can be easily rearranged and replaced. This is possible thanks to root wraps. Plants growing in the same spot on the panel for several years may be securely attached, but relocation is still possible. We recommend watching our instructional video on planting and moving plants in a vertical garden.

The panels are non-toxic. They are a durable construction but can be damaged by animals. To ensure the safety of children, it’s advisable to choose only plants that are safe for health.

Using felt materials to create vertical gardens provides favorable conditions for the development of plants. Felt, serving as a medium for root growth (emulating soil), is significantly more suitable for this purpose compared to other solutions.

The largest and longest-lasting implementations of green walls are made using felt materials. This is because, unlike plastic, they can provide conditions for the plants to grow freely for many years. Plant roots can breathe and expand in the pocket without the need for transplanting, as is the case with pots.

We recommend not changing the soil in the plants. The system we use over time starts to function like a hydroponic system. When using organic fertilizers, it is possible to maintain active soil biology.

To plant a vertical garden, you can use plants from pots in appropriate sizes. The best solution is to choose pots with a diameter of about 12 centimeters, as smaller plants adapt better to new conditions and grow faster. We provide instructions on how to plant a vertical garden with living plants.

Recommended fertilizers are organic. They keep the microbiology alive and prevent the accumulation of chemical fertilizer salts, which are detrimental to plants. We believe that using fertilizers with high NPK content is the best solution.

An appropriate method of fertilizing can be manually dosing the fertilizer dissolved in water. We suggest using sticks or tablets that dissolve under the emitters at the top. The best way to dose fertilizers is to use a dispenser. Together with water, it will deliver the fertilizer to the plants.
