Green walls are a fantastic way to breathe life into a dull space. Whether you’re planting decorative or edible plants, living walls are unique and aesthetically pleasing. The GrowUp green wall system is a hassle-free system which, unlike other vertical gardens, doesn’t require an extensive understanding of things like hydroponics.
Our system is designed to be as simple as possible - so that the whole family (both young and old) can get involved in creating living art.
The GrowUp green wall system can be tailored to fit any space. Our range starts with a five pot kit and you can add as many pots as you need to fit the space where you plan to install the living wall. The system comprises of the following components:
The cleverly designed hexagonal pots fit together to create a honeycomb pattern which ensures that your vertical garden looks full and lush right from the start. One of the key benefits of the honeycomb design is that you won’t be left with bulky, unattractive hardware peeking out between your plants.
You don’t need to feel overwhelmed by all the bits and pieces, putting your green wall together is as simple as counting to fifteen.
Install master tank level in bottom right corner of the wall.
Insert the grommets and push them through the connector pipe to join the tanks.
Set the spacing between the tanks to between 0”- 1.58” to adjust the width of the system. Install the tanks level with each other and insert the stopper on the last tank.
The drop sheet redirects water that escapes the pots due to installation or maintenance errors.
Use the pilot holes provided on the tanks to install the bottom screw on each rail.
Level the rails and install the top screw on each of them.
Cut the rails on notches provided, to your desired height.
Attach the first section of the irrigation pipe to the pump as shown below.
Place the assembled pump into the master tank, then place the irrigation pipe through the notch provided in the master tank.
Install the irrigation pipe using the supplied cable ties to secure to the wall. Use the pipe connectors provided to join the pipes.
Punch holes in the pipe above the rails. Install the dripper and make sure it’s inserted at a 45º downward angle.
Extend the dripper and insert it into the pot.
Transplant your seedlings from their grow pots, in to the planter bags. Tie each bag into a hex pot.
Clip the pots onto the rails and ensure they’re all properly aligned. It’s easier to load pots from bottom up.
Check that all the drippers are inserted correctly into the pots. Test run the irrigation system for 1 to 2 hours and look out for leaks.
Once you’re sure the irrigation system is working properly, your green wall is complete. As you can see, the GrowUp system is designed to be user-friendly, and is a great starter kit for a first-time vertical garden enthusiast.
