A living wall has the benefit of not only being beautiful and eye-catching, but it also can purify your air, reduce stress, and even muffle background noise in your room. Need more convincing that a living wall is a great addition to your home? Check out these beautiful examples. When deciding to install a living wall, consider plants that require similar care, as you’ll be watering and feeding them at the same time. Climbing and winding plants like pothos or philodendron are great starter options that are easy to care for. This idea is also better for anyone who doesn’t want to spend ages pruning and updating their living wall. A single wall-mounted living wall can require a lot of patience and time to keep up with, so a display with individually potted plants may be easier for someone with limited time. Air plants such as tillandsia are great choices for an office because they don’t need a lot of care, but still look beautiful when arranged together. When setting up your own living wall, consider the space between each plant and ensure they have room to grow so you don’t find yourself re-doing the display after just a few months. When it comes to picking a container for your living wall, think about what blends well with your decor. Living walls can be created in wood, cork, metal and more, and can easily be designed to blend with the look and feel of your home. Forgoing a fully mounted modular system allows you to mix and match plants that require various watering and care schedules, and replace easily if one doesn’t survive.
