Living green walls offer a wide range of benefits to businesses. From livening up the office space to cleaning the surrounding air, lowering energy costs, improving staff morale and reducing absenteeism, to name but a few. Interest in living walls in Dubai and Abu Dhabi haves steadily increased in popularity. Due to the region’s hot climate, these additions to a building are often preferred for their cooling effect as well.
Along with the perks, there are challenges in having living green walls. Sure, they look and smell great and drastically increase visual appeal for your business. But they are alive – and need to stay that way, so that they continue to provide their benefits. In order to keep your green walls thriving, use the best landscapers in Dubai to plan, install, and maintain the structure. Let’s take a look at the challenges of having living green walls.
In this article, we’ll cover the following:
Plants need to create nutrients from strong light sources. This is how they grow and thrive, and stay healthy throughout the year.
Correctly monitored irrigation is going to play a huge role in the success of your living green wall. Without proper water amounts, plants can die very quickly.
Proper nutrition and sunlight are imperative to a plant’s health. Otherwise, they may suffer from extreme heat and lack of nutrients.
Lighting
Plants need to create nutrients from strong light sources to survive. Plants absorb the light and convert it into nutrients. The challenge lies in ensuring the right amount. When plants aren’t getting enough light, photosynthesis can’t occur at a healthy level. LED lighting should be applied to indoor plant walls that don’t receive natural sunlight.
Professional landscapers will work with your business to design panelling or a structural frame to attach to walls which allow for adequate lighting. Both sunlight and artificial light can play a role in this process, depending on whether your wall is indoors or outdoors.
