Green Facades
Green Facades are really popular for an exterior eye catching plant wall. They are the plants that you see outside of buildings wrapping their leaves around the walls. These plants tend to grow upwards and across. Facades are useful for buildings because they can protect buildings against damage from rain and heat leading to cutting costs on energy bills. And they look amazing!
Moss Walls
Moss Walls are seen all over the place. They can be made into a huge display or can even just be as small as 3 square feet. And the best thing about moss walls is that they can be installed pretty much everywhere! Another great thing about moss walls is that they are very low maintenance, needing no plumbing or irrigation. As far as sunlight goes for them, they usually like shady or darker places since the sun tends fades their color.
Living Walls
Live walls are definitely popular in most company buildings and businesses. They include a variety of plant life that are grown vertically using hydroponics. Or they can also be artificial, using modular and continuous planted units. These walls do require a bit of maintenance since they are alive. Most walls are installed with a drip-irrigation system.
