Wall greening and Excel soil

Wall greening is constructed on the walls of buildings and has a positive impact on nature, buildings, and people.
The need for wall greening is increasing due to environmental considerations and the purpose of improving corporate image, and the types of wall greening are also becoming more diverse.

Plants used for wall greening include the most common vines, as well as various woody and herbaceous plants.
In addition to having the effect of improving the thermal environment in urban areas, wall greening can also be expected to improve the scenery and create places of relaxation in our everyday lives.

Although wall greening has many advantages, it is difficult to create an environment where plants can actually grow on walls.
However, by using Excel Soil for wall greening or slope greening, you can take full advantage of the characteristics of the solidified medium.
There is no need for cases to prevent soil from collapsing, and the minimum amount of materials needed to hold the base material is required.

Types and construction methods of wall greening

There are 11 main types of wall greening. Choose from these types by considering installation conditions, ease of maintenance, design, cost, etc.

---

①Climbing type (no auxiliary materials) This type uses plants that can directly climb up walls using attached roots and suckers, such as parthenozoids. This is often carried out by planting in the ground, but it can also be carried out using planters or rooftop green planting bases.

---

②Climbing type (auxiliary materials included) A type of wall greening that uses plants that can climb uphill and grow them on auxiliary materials (wire mesh, coconut fiber, wire, mesh).This is often done by planting in the ground, but it can also be done using planters or the planting base for rooftop greening.

---

③Drooping type (no auxiliary materials) A type in which plants hang down from a planting base installed at the top floor level. No auxiliary materials involved. Hedera canariensis is often used, but you can also use cotoneaster, rosemary, vincamajoor, etc.

---

④Drooping type (auxiliary materials included) A type in which plants hang down from a planting base installed at the top floor level. Accompanied by auxiliary materials. If plants droop, even if they have attached roots or suckers, supplementary materials will prevent them from attaching to the wall. Auxiliary materials are provided in the hope that they will catch and stabilize the plants as they droop, or they are provided as objects to attract and bind.

---

⑤unit type A type in which plants are planted and cured in advance, and the green cover is completed before installation. Immediately after completion, it is possible to create a landscape with ample greenery. By preparing a reserve unit, you can continue to maintain the same landscape by replacing it even if some parts of the tree die.

---

⑥Planter single-sided visible type Among the types that have multiple planters installed vertically, this type has a wall at the back and creates a landscape from one direction. There are many variations of plants that can be planted without changing the basic structure of regular planter greening. Maintenance is also relatively easy.

---

⑦Planter double-sided visible type Among the types that have multiple planters installed vertically, this type creates a landscape from both the front and back. There are many variations of plants that can be planted without changing the basic structure of regular planter greening. Maintenance is also relatively easy.

---

⑧Continuous base (thick layer type) A type in which the planting base is placed vertically. The area where the root system develops is continuous, making it difficult for roots to become clogged.

---

⑨Continuous base type（Membrane type） A type in which the planting base is placed vertically. In this method, the frontmost layer of the base is made of a membrane, and a part of the membrane is cut out and plants are planted in the area that is continuous with the planting base. You can increase the variety of plants and create a three-dimensional effect.

---

⑩balcony tip type This construction method can achieve both a green view from the inside and a green appearance from the outside, and has many advantages, such as maintenance work being able to be carried out from the balcony.

---

⑪Pocket exchange type Rather than replacing the unit itself, this wall greening method involves inserting plant pots into the space where pocket-shaped seedlings can fit. Since the potted seedling itself can be replaced, it is easy to use for indoor greening and events.
