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.
What is a green wall?
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 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)
