Live pictures in vertical gardening: the rules of plant selection and planting technologyThe individual owner equips the part for no reason, so that its design was unique, differed through the neighbors. Consequently, there are non-ordinary decorating techniques, with the help of which not only a horizontal place, but also a vertical is planted. Creative summer residents close the green decor with the ugly walls of the economic buildings, the ramshackle city and even manage to make the plants a barrier for the curious eyes of the neighbors. A new direction in landscape design is allowed to call phytoparticles. Compositions of living plants, placed in frames, look beautiful and especially. It seems to make a living picture, which plants to pick it up - let's talk about all this in more detail.
Like do the pictures live?
The essence of the new direction in the book, in order to live plants turn into an art object, replacing the canvas and paints for earth and flowers. The"live"view will always win from the drawn one, as it lives its own life, plays with colors and constantly changes. The road of the majestic artist Van Gogh beamed with new colors if it was recreated for a large wall with the help of living plants
The basis for phytoparticles are frames, iron nets and plywood, which are held together in a single holding frame. It is filled with soil and planted in plant cells for no reason, in order to make a known image.
Near the frame, the order of drip irrigation is carried out (if ever watered). An ugly tree city, who is placed"face"to the north, can start a true picture gallery if it is decorated with phyto-landscapes of various sizes
Instead of grids, it is possible to remove special hinged containers, which are fixed for support. Plants planted in containers make the compositions because of their own texture, different sizes and colors, and at the same time they can be changed anywhere, if the image failed. The height and texture of the picture frame can be completely different. The bottom line is that the framework has enough thickness to fill it with soil
Some designers do not make frames in phytocarbons. They make landscapes for the whole place of the wall of the house, the fence, etc.
Still lifes from succulents
More often as components of a living figure are succulent plants. They perfectly grow for all types of soils, do not fear changes in humidity and normally withstand the drought period (if the owner forget to water the composition by the way).
To make a picture, you will come in handy:
A finished or self-made thick frame (the lower stick is 4 cm wide).
Plywood sheet, the same size as the frame
Waterproofing matter for the sake of plywood (peel).
A fine-mesh net of metal of the same size
Land (clay soil, mixed in half with sand or small expanded clay).
Moh-sfagnum (not timely).
Carnations, a hammer, a construction stapler.
The suit is either varnish or wood.
Succulent plants.
Make a picture for no reason:
Close the plywood with a film, so that the land, who is pretty close to it, does not destroy the matter. Peel can even exist food, wrapped in a pair of layers near the plywood.
Between the straps of the frame, set the grid and fix it with studs or staples.
On the back of the frame, plywood is pinned with the insulated side inside.
Pinned to the plywood mounts, for which it is enough to handle the image (more than 2x).
The frame is painted or varnished.
While the rim dries up, plants are prepared: cuttings with a longish tail are cut, so that it's easier to intervene in the grid cells.
Lay out the plants in a suitable pattern unswervingly for the table, to determine the composition of the picture.
The frame is laid horizontally for food and filled through the grid with the ground. Do not forget to ram it, using a pencil for this.
If the soil fills the frame with the same network, sprinkle the earth with water from the spray gun.
Slightly sprinkle the wet soil with dry soil or cover with a layer of moss that will prevent the soil from spilling through the mesh, and begin landing.
Large cuttings are planted first.
Try to fill the frame without reason, as the size of the grid cells allows, because the succulents grow slowly.
Leave the composition ready for the moon to be placed in a warm place, where there are no direct sun rays.
Check the moisture of the ground with a toothpick. Water only here if there are no soil marks left for the toothpick.
As the plants moved to the profit (and this is consequently consistent with the young growths) - frankly hang your product for an unchanged room. The bottom line is to beware of sunny places if succulents burn. For winter, the pictures are taken to a heated place. Cuttings of succulents should be prepared from 1-2 days before planting in the picture, so that the cutting room could dry out and not decay
Wood frames do not adore the proximity of wet soil, therefore their inner parts should be primed with lacquer or disinfectant impregnation in advance
Dust or expanded clay, added to the ground, plays the occupation of the water store, hence even infrequent watering succulents continue to grow normally
Landscapes for walls and fences
If you want to make a live picture for the whole wall or to hide all around it old ramshackle city - use the container variation of decoration (phytomodule). They enjoy unusual popularity in Europe. Phytostenes differ through vertical gardens to those that designers painstakingly study the image of the placement of plants, in order to make a certain visual icon
Iron stems are also the basis of phytostens. They are strengthened to the base, for which floral masterpieces will be made. In the southern climate, such walls are made of perennials that do not freeze because of winter, because there are no severe frosts.
In the middle belt or northern areas it is more convenient to only make phytostenes from annuals . They give more colorful colors and colors, but you will not have to worry about hibernation. The iron framework is the main component of phytostens, because it is specifically for him that the full authority of the greenish picture, gaining mass from day to day, is held
Rules of gardening
Let's look at the main points:
Complete waterproofing of the base is carried out.
Between the frame and the base should remain 2-3 cm of space for ventilation.
The frame is reinforced to the wall with thick wooden bars, paving them between the metal and the building.
For the top of the frame a tube is laid for the sake of drip irrigation. The water in it will have to be pumped.
Capacity for the sake of plants can exist jute road or matter as felt, who does not fear decay and perfectly stores water.
For a jute road, pockets are made of the same material in which the plants will live.
It is allowed not to sew pockets, but to squeeze squares two huge canvases from felt, and to be planted act cuts according to the center of squares and there to plant plants.
Each plant before the planting for the wall is wrapped in felt or jute in order to win the dense soil condition.
Prof. landscapers for the sake of phytosthenes use the system of drip irrigation, laying a tube to each plant. However, this amount is needed for home phytosthenes.
And for the street it is enough to organize a small watering from above, because the water is quite poured according to the entire surface of the tissue and feed a separate flower. Even if you get water from the water - it drains from below and does not damage the landscape. Jute matter has the highest strength and hygroscopicity, therefore all the moisture drained from above is moderately sold according to the pores of the canvas and penetrated into the roots
Quilted two-layer felt also perfectly holds water, therefore it is allowed to plant even adult plants with a small clod of earth or grown for a hydrogel
Apart from pocket structures made of cloth, it is allowed to buy plastic container-type phytomodules in specialized stores. For more details on these systems, see for video.

Phytoides of Patrick Blanc
The most famous phytocharist was Frenchman Patrick Blank. He refused through the container method of decorating the walls, and invented a feeding system for hydroponics. All-season plants with which he adorns the walls live in felt plates.
Using the drip irrigation system , they are fed by mineral mixtures. For the sake of normal life plants do not need soil. They take oxygen from the air, and feeding from the water. Patrick Blank's phytoparticles attract the eye already for the initial stage of germination of seeds, because everyone is curious, for example, the appearance of a uniformly developing species
Patrick uses around the base of the iron frames. They are the connecting link between the walls and the phytocarbons. The frames are screwed with plastic waterproof frames. Specifically, they serve as an obstacle for the sake of hitting water for the wall and thereby protect the building through destruction.
Plates made of polyamide - porous, water-retaining material - are fixed for the outer side of the frame. Specifically, it will grow flowers.
The exclusion of Blank's idea in a book that plants are planted for the wall not by adults, but in the form of seeds. Approximately 30 seeds per square meter. Hence phyto-pebble must also be educated. But such plants are adapted to vertical living conditions at any time. They do not need to break through the adaptation span.
The finished image is able to live for a wall in front of 10 years. Dying plants are replaced with new ones.
Graffiti from moss - phytorrhaging
In modern fashion, graffiti from moss look. They are allowed to paint any vertical, which is in the shade. For example - for the front wall of the house to make his room or street name. Greenish letters attract the respect of every passerby. Moss images are very undemanding. They do not require additional dressing, the remainder of the drip irrigation. In wet places mosses grow without any care
The general order is consistent with the application
In order to make a similar design, you must first draw an extraordinary image with a construction pencil and cover the sketch with a mounting tape, so that it does not get out of the picture frame. For graffiti, it is better to take mosses growing in your area, because they have a higher level of survival, if they are in store
Next you need to make a paint from the moss:
We go into the coppice and cut off the pillow of the beautiful moss (If there is a forest nearby, buy a moss in the store).
Mix the unusual ingredients in the blender: brought moss + 2 cups of kefir + a glass of beer + 2 teaspoons of sugar + 3 teaspoons of corn syrup (it is allowed to change at least some fruit syrup).
The finished suit should be curdled. If the solution drains from the brush and does not drip, add moss and whisk again.
Apply the magic mash carefully for the wall. If the wall is not extremely porous - grind it in advance with coarse sandpaper. The mosses take root perfectly well for porous surfaces.
Cover the non-woven fabric from above, fixing it with the scotch tape.
To moss perfectly suited - at times spray the wall.
What future mosses are suitable for graffiti?
The individual visibility of the moss lives for a certain surface. For the sake of graffiti, one should choose those who will cover the earth or the corners of some abandoned concrete house. Mosses from trees for walls do not take root.
For the sake of phytorizing, according to the opinion of professionals, the future moss with a pillow-shaped form - Racomitrium or Leucobryum - is suitable. They grow even in the northern regions and normally develop for stony surfaces. 1. Racomitrium microcarpum. 2. Racomitrium woolly (Racomitrium lanuginosum). 3. Leucobrium blue (Leucobryum glaucum). 4. Dikranum sclerellum Hedw (Dicranum scoparium Hedw)
Suicidal atmosphere
If you want to do not a picture, but the installation of an ancient garden, decorate the moss with an old environment. Moss makes the action of abandonment and antiquity in the garden, hence they are allowed to cover any surface - through sculptures in front of old shoes
For this you need:
Wash an old wooden chair
Gluing it with wet stripes of newspapers (like papier-mache). Newspapers are wetted by water.
Sprinkle from the spray gun in accordance with the entire surface of the PVA glue, diluted with water
Wrap the chair with a soft wire, so that the mosses are izza who handle.
Collect the cushions of living moss in the forest (or, better, make a chair in a forest, where the building material is pretty close to the hand).
There are roots through the earth, sprinkle them with glue and press down on the surface of the chair.
Lay the moss tightly, so that there are no lumbago.
For the sake of fixing strength, use toothpicks that are allowed to poke into each moss pad and engage because of the wire. However, insert around the corner so that someone unintentionally does not sit down for the toothpick blade. Then the moss retainers should be pulled out.
The finished mossy product is sprinkled with water and put in a shady room. Humidify the chair should be daily, in the course of the month. For the sake of fitting the furniture, the visibility of moss-sphagnum, who grows everywhere, has a high survival rate and a beautiful lush texture is suited successfully
Carpets-paintings for beds
Painting and decoration landscape designers spread not only for vertical surfaces, but also for flower beds. Elegant appearance is known for unjustifiably called carpet flower beds, where plants and their position recall the pile texture of the carpet.

To make similar it is easy. The main thing is the right choice of plants. For the sake of the carpet flower gardens, low crops with dense foliage are used, capable of filling the designated area with a continuous filling. To make an image, combine 3 types of plants:
low perennials (clearings, lilies of the valley, etc.). They draw the main decoration;
low budding annuals (ageratum, alisum, marigold and about.). They make color spots;
ground cover plants (viable, periwinkle). Used for the general background of the picture.
The development of carpets is limited to 4-5 species of crops. A larger number splits the image, lubricates the overall picture. For the drawing of contours, gravel, dust, decorative pebbles, colored parts, bark, etc. can be extracted. Carpet flower compositions have a truly royal appearance, so this way decorate the front entrances and the central flower beds in the garden
It seems like a rug:
Smash the flower bed, without using any fertilizer and humus. The poor bottom is enough to keep a restless profit of plants and will maintain a similar height of the carpet.
Draw the strip of the pattern with a sharp stick, and then cover them with a little sand from the bottle.
In accordance with the lines of the pattern, delimiters are inserted (curb tape, cut plastic bottles, etc.), so that plants do not climb up to someone else's place. They dig deep, leaving 2-3 cm above the ground
Next, individual layers are thrown out with decorative material (if such is used).
The final step is planting the plants. Planting begins through the center to the edges, placing the seedlings seems to be denser. Specially dense plantings make the carpet structure of the flower bed.
In order to maintain the image of the flowerbed - you need to pinch the tops of plants from time to time, cut extremely long specimens and do not forget about watering.
You see, it's not difficult to start an artist. Few fantasies - and your part is a pretty true picture gallery.
