Indoor 'greenery' wall.

I'm not sure if there is another term for this. I have a large, light airy room with double height ceiling.


I'm really keen to erect some kind of green wall with living plants and wondered if anyone here had done the same? Looking for hints and tips. Or photos if you would be willing to share?

Be aware that light, even from a big window, decreases considerably even a short way away from the pane. You can get light meters but if not, ask advice about which plants will work best where you want to put them. Good on you for doing this - plants, inside or out, are great!

I don't know about indoors, but there was a green wall planted outside in Islington, and it sadly failed due to problems with the irrigation system so that many of the plants died.


I would have thought indoors you'd have to be very careful about damp?


I'm pretty sure that there are companies who specialise in this, if you Google. They may be able to advise you even if you aren't going to use them.


And I agree that Pearspring may well be able to help. I have found them both helpful and knowledgeable.

    • Long time cyclist and driver here, (but I cycle much more than drive). Sadly I'm not sure we're ever going to get over this.  The pro- and anti- camps are seem so polarised that compromise and acceptance seems impossible; it feels like someone has to be the winner. I had a break in Berlin recently and the attitude seems so different.  There were loads and loads of cyclists (most non-electric as far as I could tell) but everyone adhered to the rules.  Motorists and cyclists always stopped at red lights.  Pedestrians only crossed at crossings and only when the green man light was lit.  There were cycle lanes, sometimes borrowed from the road, sometimes from the pavements but always used.  What's needed is a cultural shift in mindset.
    • The last person to have run The Paxton completely ruined it. From the moment I saw the large tacky looking plastic banner on the outside I knew what its fate would be.
    • A Jay appeared in our garden yesterday evening and is still there now. Quite large and healthy looking but seems (to my completely ignorant self) to be missing his/her tail feathers which is perhaps why they’re hanging about. I’ve left out some seeds and water but not sure what else can be done? Any keen ornithologists or wildlife carers nearby? 
    • Hen123, despite the stats, it still doesn't mean cyclists are safe to ignore the rules.  There's an old joke when a 95 year old granny with poor eyesight was asked if she had been involved in any accidents during her driving career, and she replies none but I've seen plenty in my rear view mirror  I have seen so many near misses (both as a bus user, driver and pedestrian) where a cyclist has done something unexpected or illegal and fear the day that its not a near miss.
