How is the maintenance of a living green wall different from traditional gardens?

Maintaining a living wall is distinct from tending to traditional gardens due to its vertical nature. Traditional gardens have plants growing horizontally in the soil, making watering and care relatively straightforward. In contrast, living walls require specialised attention. Monitoring the water levels, nutrients, and potential pests becomes crucial. Pruning and trimming are more strategic as plants grow vertically, ensuring proper coverage and preventing overgrowth. Additionally, regular checks on the wall’s structure and irrigation system are necessary to maintain its health and longevity.
