Bringing greenery into the home is increasingly seen as essential, as plants promote a connection with nature that brings a unique sense of well-being, in addition to adding beauty and improving quality of life. Among the ways to explore them within the home, one that never goes out of fashion, especially in small apartments and commercial projects, is the famous vertical garden .

But stay tuned! Vertical gardens require some care when installing them, so below we have listed three points that you need to pay attention to when introducing your vertical garden into your home. Check it out!

1. Vertical garden structures

The materials used are also diverse, such as steel, iron, concrete, ceramics and wood. “When incorporating a vertical garden into the project, the important thing is to consider the load that the chosen wall supports”, advises Carina Korman , head of the Korman Arquitetos office, alongside Ieda Korman .

It ensures practicality in everyday life,” says Carina. In this case, the system has a pressurizing pump , making the entire process automated. To ensure the vitality of the species, Carina and Ieda recommend always keeping the soil or substrate moist, but not excessively so.

3. Positioning the vertical garden

In general, it is the brightness of the environment that will also determine the best species to make up the vertical garden.

In both cases, the ideal is to choose long-lasting species that require less maintenance,” indicate the professionals at Korman Arquitetos.
