All of us in this life are a bit "botanists". The first amazing discoveries when examining the stamens and pistils in a microscope during school lessons at the most curious botanists grow into enthusiasm for vertical gardening. Warn at once that nothing to do with vegetable gardens in the vertical gardening there. But there is a dream to create a living picture of stabilized plants.

Primroses of vertical gardening
The art of decorating a home with plants and flowers is rooted in the distant past. Whose good hand first decorated the cave or hut of amazing beauty with a flower. This beauty is mysterious, like the roots of the lotus, a symbol of oblivion of all sorrows. It is possible that the prototype of modern stylish vertical gardening was the hanging gardens of the Semiramis.
Therefore, modern landscaping of an apartment, private house or office allows you to transform a boring interior and create a unique microclimate. But the correct and harmonious arrangement of plants in gardening is an entire science with its own laws and consequences, the secrets of which can be comprehended by persistent and persistent work. The first opening buds of vertical landscaping of premises meant the use of known and accessible for cultivation of weaving and hanging plants.
But the sown seeds of creative inspiration during planting have successfully germinated and began to bring amazing fruits in the form of new stunning plants. The first plants of gardening and phyto design are considered to be stabilized plants.
Stabilized plants
Externally, stabilized plants can not be distinguished from real flowers: the same secret beauty of half-opened buds, the same inner power of living leaves. But the stabilized plants do not refer to either dry flowers or artificial flowers.
These are natural plants, the natural juice of which, as a result of special treatment, is replaced by a solution based on glycerol. The technology of processing of stabilized plants allows the use of any plant or flower. Stabilizing materials are distinguished by their natural elasticity and strength.
Therefore, the obvious advantages of stabilized plants are:
• naturalness and entertainment
• Lack of constant care and special watering
• stability of color transmission and shape for a long time
• convenience of storage, transportation and temperature setting.
But back to the theory and practice of vertical gardening in the apartment.
Vertical landscaping options for the apartment
To create green walls from stabilized plants, use the following options:
• The concept of Flowerbox (fliverbox)
• plants in suspensions
• phytopanel.
The concept of fliverbox is a combination of phytodesign and floristics. The selected plants are planted in boxes or modules of the original shape and construction, which are then placed vertically on the wall. The location of the fliverbox is possible on the wall in the form of a living picture or a living wall. Such a full-fledged living garden, located in a well-designed for viewing and subsequent care of the place of the apartment will take a worthy place in the overall interior.
Why are such phytomodules attractive for florists? In this case, the designer is a living wall of vertical plants, the modular connection principle allows creating whole pictures of stabilized plants.
And now we turn to practice. How to build a module for vertical landscaping will help you video.
To green the apartment, private house or office is possible in the case when plants are carefully selected, the soil for their planting and elements of decorative design.
Which plants are preferable for vertical gardening
For the creation of vertical landscaping and pictures from stabilized plants, preference should be given to plants combining in color, texture and size of the leaves. It is better if the plants are bushy, the same height and without an expressed trunk.
For this purpose, ornamental-deciduous plants, such as ampel and bromilia, are used. Bromilia plants - Vriesia, Tuslandia gusmania allow creating bright color spots, expressive enough and blooming for a long time.
Bromeliad plants for gardening have unusually colored foliage and bright inflorescences. A special attraction for the inflorescence of bromiliae is given by effective and expressive bracts.
Distinguish the following species of bromide:
• reservoir, forming a characteristic funnel-shaped outlet from narrow leaves, to which moisture accumulates (this is vriesia, cryptus, neoregelia)
• atmospheric, growing at the ends of twigs or thorns and acquiring exquisite and intricate forms (tilandsia)
• terrestrial, the main body of moisture absorption, which is the developed root (gusmania).
Most plants intended for vertical gardening are tropical plants, so it is necessary to create a habitat that is close to the tropical climate. And this means specially selected soil (substrate), moderate watering and maximum heat and light.
The conditions for the creation of vertical planting of greenery for plants
the soil
Creating a vertical gardening with your own hands, you must carefully select the soil for planting plants.
The soil (substrate) for most bromides should consist of leafy land, crushed pine bark, humus and coarse sand in the proportion: (4: 1: 2: 1). Can be used for reservoir bromide a mixture consisting of crushed pine bark, leaf land, coarse sand and sphagnum moss in the proportion (2: 2: 1: 1). The exception is atmospheric bromide, which, due to their viability and growth, do not need a matched soil.
watering
A feature of caring for plants of vertical gardening is the method of irrigation. For example, reservoir bromide should be watered with soft, settled water only into the funnel, which is formed by leaves, the soil in this case is only slightly moistened. Atmospheric plants get moisture from the atmosphere, so it is recommended to use the humidification of leaves from the spray. The terrestrial bromide sprouts the root.
lighting
Any plant, and plants for vertical gardening is no exception, always drawn to the sun and light. Therefore, the optimal solution for creating landscaping and paintings from plants can be considered the use of special LED lamps that can replace the necessary natural habitat.
Special LED lamps allow you to adjust the radiation spectrum for specific plants. For more demanding plants and in winter, it is preferable to install point-specific individual lamps or phyto-lamps. Phitolamp Green Vertical Light is a selected spectral lighting for indoor plants in winter gardens, loggias and greenhouses.
The use of the phytolamp plug-in lens allows the installation and directing of various light streams that increase the active growth of plants of vertical gardening.
