Plants on the wall - which flowers to choose?

Green walls, or vertical gardens, are gaining popularity as a way of introducing nature into indoor and outdoor spaces. They are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional, improving air quality and microclimate. Choosing the right plants is key to keeping a green wall healthy and beautiful all year round. In this guide, we will discuss the best flowers and plants for green walls and provide some practical tips for their care.

Green wall is a vertical structure on which plants are grown. It can be used both indoors and outdoors. Green walls can be created from a variety of materials such as panels, fabric pockets or plastic modules that allow plants to grow vertically. These systems are equipped with integrated irrigation and fertilisation systems, making it easy to care for the plants.

Advantages of green walls

- Aesthetics: green walls add natural beauty and elegance to any interior.
- Improved air quality: plants filter pollutants and increase oxygen levels, which affects the health of residents.
- Thermal insulation: green walls can lower interior temperatures in summer and reduce heat loss in winter.
- Noise reduction: plants act as a natural sound absorber, which is particularly beneficial in noisy areas.

The choice of plants depends on environmental conditions such as sunshine, humidity and temperature. Below are the best plants for green walls.

  • Ivy (Hedera helix)
    Ivy is one of the most popular climbing plants, ideal for outdoor green walls. It is resistant to a variety of weather conditions and grows quickly to form a dense, green cover. Ivy is also easy to care for and can grow in both sun and shade.
  • Winged flower (Spathiphyllum)
    Wingflower is an excellent plant for green interior walls. It has beautiful white flowers and glossy, dark green leaves. It is known for its air-filtering properties, removing pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene.
  • Philodendron (Philodendron)
    Philodendrons are tropical plants that are perfect for green interior walls. They are easy to care for and can grow in both light and semi-shaded areas. Their large, decorative leaves add an exotic touch to interiors.
  • Ferns (Nephrolepis exaltata, Adiantum)
    Ferns are classic plants for green walls, especially in areas with high humidity. They have delicate, hanging leaves that add elegance and lightness to walls. Ferns are also excellent for air filtration.
  • Herbaceous plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
    Zielista, also known as the 'spider plant', is a very hardy plant ideal for green walls. It has long, dangling leaves that form beautiful cascades. Zielista is easy to care for and grows well in a variety of light conditions.
  • Cacti and succulents
    Cacti and succulents are ideal for green walls in areas with high sunlight and low humidity. They are easy to maintain and are suitable for both indoors and outdoors. The variety of shapes and colours of these plants allows unique compositions to be created.
  • Begonias
    Begonias are flowering plants that work well on green walls in semi-shaded areas. They are available in many colours and shapes to create colourful and attractive compositions.

The care of the green wall is crucial to its longevity and aesthetics.

Here are some tips:
- Regular watering: most green walls are equipped with irrigation systems, which should be checked regularly.
- Fertilisation: plants on the walls also need nutrients, so it is worth fertilising them every few weeks.
- Pruning: regular pruning keeps plants in shape and healthy.
- Checking plant health: regularly check plants for pests and diseases.
