Green Wall Maintenance & Advantages
How do you maintain the GRO2 Green Wall?
Since green walls are dynamic, living things, they must be maintained. Having a green wall is a commitment, like having a pet or a garden. Think of it as a landscape or garden turned sideways to grow up a wall. To thrive, it must be cared for by either a professional maintenance company (recommended and trained by us through our certification program) or by the owner themselves. The most important aspect of the maintenance is ensuring that the irrigation system is working properly. This means not underwatering or OVER watering the plants. And, like a garden, plants must be occasionally pruned, fertilized, and weeded if necessary; and sometimes plants will need to be replaced. A certified installer will be able to set up an automated fertilizing system that works with the irrigation system if you request this feature. The plant palette used really determines the level of maintenance the wall will require, just like in a typical landscape or garden.
