Plant selection: key to success

Selecting the right plants is crucial to ensure the success of any garden, vertical or otherwise.

Selección de especies para un jardín vertical exterior en Madrid

As a company specialising in the selection of plants for out-of-the-ordinary gardening projects and vertical gardens, we have an established track record in the sector, and although our expertise lies in vertical gardens, the recommendations we offer in this articleare applicable to all types of gardens, whether they are traditional, on terraces or in interior patios.

As most people know, not all plants are suitable for growing in all conditions, as certain species require different needs in terms of light, climate and watering requirements.

In our experience, for example, outdoor gardens are more complex because they must withstand elements such as cold or pollution, while indoor gardens tend to have easier control of variables such as light.

Our methodology starts with a detailed analysis of key factors such as available light, climatic conditions, and the type of soil or substrate in our case. These elements allow us to guarantee that the selected plants will not only survive, but will thrive in their new environment.

At SingularGreen, we always stress the importance of careful selection, as choosing the right plants is fundamental to ensure the success of any landscape project.

Key factors for choosing plants in an outdoor vertical garden

One of the cornerstones of our plant selection is to understand the specific needs of the space.

In outdoor gardens, for example, it is crucial to assess the orientation of the garden and the amount of sunlight it receives throughout the day.

Plants that thrive in full sun, such as geraniums or lavender, are ideal for southern or eastern orientations.

However, if the garden faces north, more shade-tolerant plants, such as ferns or native species, may be a better choice.

Another important point outdoors is climatic resistance (we have this article where we explain the importance of knowing the climatic zones).

In areas with cold winters, we recommend species that can withstand low temperatures and sudden changes in climate. This ensures the longevity and good condition of the garden throughout the seasons.

Ideal plants for indoor vertical gardens

When it comes to indoor gardens, the choice of plants requires consideration of factors such as artificial light and humidity control.

In these spaces, we have found that plants such as ivy or succulents are excellent choices due to their adaptability and low light requirements.

However, it is often necessary to install additional lighting systems to maintain the healthy development of the plants.

At SingularGreen, we implement practical solutions that optimise growing conditions, and we offer a selection of low-maintenance plants ensuring that the garden maintains its vitality in the long term.

Native plants: the best option for vertical gardens

Selecting native plants is one of the approaches we recommend most at SingularGreen.

These species are naturally adapted to the local climate and soil characteristics, making them a sustainable and low-maintenance option.

Native plants not only have a higher resistance to pests and diseases, but also require less water and care in general, making them ideal for sustainable gardening projects and vertical gardens.

One example you can take a look at of thenative plants selected for Alicante in our case is the Suiters facade.

Conclusion: The right plant selection is key

At SingularGreen, we believe that careful plant selection is the first step towards a successful garden.

Whether it is a vertical or traditional garden, the right choice of species directly influences the design, maintenance and sustainability of the project.

That is why each of our decisions is based on a thorough analysis of the most important factors, ensuring that our proposals not only meet the aesthetic requirements, but also the practical and functional ones.
