When it comes to green walls, the idea of having a lush, beautiful, nature-filled space without the hassle of regular maintenance might sound too good to be true. But is it really possible to have a ‘maintenance-free’ green wall? The truth is, all green walls require some level of upkeep. Here at Vertical Green, our products are designed to minimize maintenance, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of greenery with far less effort than other vertical greenery systems.
At Vertical Green, we offer three types of green wall solutions: living green walls, artificial green walls, and preserved green walls. Each of these options comes with its own set of care requirements. Let’s explore the reality behind these systems and how our designs help reduce the work required to keep them looking their best.
What "Maintenance-Free" Really Means
The term ‘maintenance-free’ refers to the idea of zero maintenance, meaning no time or effort is required for upkeep. However, for all green walls, there will always be some minor care involved, such as dusting, trimming, or occasional checks to ensure everything remains in top condition.
The difference lies in how much maintenance is required. At Vertical Green, we’ve crafted our green walls with ease of care in mind, so you spend far less time tending to them compared to other green wall systems.
Living Green Walls: Minimal Care, Maximum Beauty
Living green walls are stunning, natural installations that bring vibrant plant life into your space, creating a refreshing and dynamic environment. While they require more attention compared to artificial or preserved options, our system is designed to make maintenance as effortless as possible.
Our automatic irrigation system ensures that water is evenly distributed, eliminating the need for manual watering and keeping plants consistently hydrated. Additionally, our green walls are built using felt, which enhances water penetration, ensuring that moisture reaches the entire wall for optimal plant health.
To further support healthy plant growth, our system incorporates geotextile planting bags, allowing plant roots to extend beyond the bag. This prevents root binding and reduces the risk of root rot, ensuring stronger, healthier plants over time. Combined with our integrated lighting system, which provides the ideal light levels even in indoor or low-light spaces, your green wall thrives with minimal interference.
With these systems in place, there is no need for daily maintenance. The automated irrigation and lighting systems take care of the essentials, ensuring your green wall remains healthy and vibrant with minimal effort.
Occasional Upkeep to Expect:
- Pruning: As plants grow, occasional pruning is necessary to maintain the desired look and keep the wall healthy. This simple task ensures your green wall continues to thrive and maintain its aesthetic appeal.
- Checking the System: It’s important to periodically check the system to ensure it’s working efficiently. This ensures that water flow and lighting is regulated properly, and your green wall remains in optimal condition.
Artificial Green Walls: The Easiest to Maintain
Artificial green walls offer the beauty of nature without the need for water or sunlight, making them the most low-maintenance option. Since they’re made from high-quality synthetic materials, they don’t require pruning, watering, or fertilizing. Some of our artificial green wall options are UV protected, which means they will fade slower over time, maintaining their vibrant appearance for longer.
With our artificial greenery, no daily maintenance is required. Designed to be long-lasting, these green walls require minimal care.
Occasional Upkeep to Expect:
- Dusting: While artificial green walls are low-maintenance, they still require occasional cleaning. A quick dusting with a soft brush or a feather duster will help keep your wall looking fresh.
Preserved Green Walls: Low Maintenance with Lasting Beauty
Preserved green walls provide a beautiful and realistic look with minimal upkeep. Made from real plants, they retain their natural beauty without the need for watering or sunlight.
Like our other solutions, these walls do not require daily maintenance, offering a low-maintenance option that still brings the elegance of living greenery to your space.
Occasional Upkeep to Expect:
- Cleaning: Like artificial green walls, preserved green walls require minimal cleaning. Occasional dusting will ensure that they retain their vibrant appearance. We recommend using a soft brush or a feather duster to gently remove dust.
- Patching Up Missing Pieces: Sometimes, due to curious tendencies, a few leaves or pieces may be accidentally picked or damaged. It’s easy to patch up missing pieces with replacement elements, helping to maintain the wall’s overall look and feel
