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.

The maintenance regime for a green screen installation typically includes regular watering, fertilising, pruning, and pest and disease management. It’s crucial to ensure that the plants receive adequate water, especially during the establishment period and in dry spells. Fertilising will help to keep the plants healthy and vigorous. Pruning is necessary to maintain the desired shape and density of the green screen and to remove dead or diseased growth. Regular inspections for pests and diseases will enable early detection and treatment, ensuring the longevity and aesthetic appeal of the green screen. The specific maintenance requirements can vary depending on the plant species used and local conditions.
