Is this system the most suitable for me or my project?

When considering a vertical garden, the first thing we must do is select the system we are going to use.

To do this, we must take into account the following properties to evaluate its suitability:

• PHYSICAL RESISTANCE OF THE SUBSTRATE. The substrate’s ability to maintain its structure over time.
• CHEMICAL DURABILITY. The useful life of the substrate subjected to the necessary fertigation conditions.
• WATER RETENTION. It is the ability of a vertical garden to survive without the need for irrigation.
• NUTRIENT RETENTION. It is the ability of a vertical garden to survive without the addition of nutrients.
• EASE OF PLANT REPLACEMENT. Easily replacing failed plants is of vital importance.
• EASE OF IRRIGATION REPLACEMENT. It should be perfectly accessible and replaceable in case of failure.
• COMPLEXITY OF THE IRRIGATION AND FERTIRRIGATION SYSTEM.
• VARIETY OF PLANTING.
• COLD RESISTANCE. In cold climates, some systems present the problem of root freezing.
• WEIGHT. It is a very important variable to consider, especially when working on existing facades.
• MODULARITY. Vertical gardens can be modular or built “in situ.”
• PLANTING METHOD. Pre-planted or planted “in situ.”
• TYPE OF MAINTENANCE.

If you are interested in installing a vertical garden and do not know what solution to adopt, you can contact our technical service, and we will resolve any doubts you may have. We can also design tailor-made solutions for your case.

Does it consume a lot of water?

Our fertigation system can recirculate the water used to irrigate the vertical garden, so the water consumption can be minimized.

It’s important to keep in mind that the water used benefits the environmental quality of the area by cooling the atmosphere through evapotranspiration.

What control and maintenance does this vertical garden system require?

The maintenance required for our vertical gardens is minimal. It consists of minor plant substitutions, small repairs to the irrigation network, typical use-related maintenance, and general inspection of the garden’s condition.

We always recommend incorporating a remote control system in the irrigation system that will provide alerts for the following:

• Water flow rate
• Fertilizer dosing
• Electrical failure
• Solenoid valve failure

Do you provide garden maintenance services?

We offer a maintenance service that includes the following tasks:

• Visual inspection of the vegetation’s condition
• Visual inspection of the irrigation system
• Maintenance and start-up of the irrigation system, filter cleaning, and pH and conductivity control
• Visual control of pests
• Pruning and growth control, twice a year
• Supply of hydroponic consumables (fertilization, acid, spare parts, etc.)
• Phytosanitary treatments, twice a year (one in spring and one in summer)
• Remote control of the irrigation system with a maximum response time of 3 natural days in case of failure

If you do not wish to contract the maintenance service but install the remote control system, we will provide the garden alert control service.

Do insects appear in the vertical garden?

In principle, insects should not appear in order to preserve the health of the plants. We use natural products in the irrigation system to prevent their appearance.
