Vertical gardens are a beautiful and space-saving way to add greenery to your home. But, there are challenges involved.
First, you have to weigh the pros and cons of building a vertical garden. Assemble the optimal structure for your space, choose the right plants and make sure that it gets enough sunlight —all of these require time and effort.
For example, lack of access to regular maintenance can cause issues like pest infestations or soil erosion. It’s also difficult to tend larger spaces since it may take much longer to reach all those higher parts. During colder months, freezing temperatures can make it more difficult for your plants to thrive.
Additionally, controlling temperature is more complex when dealing with high heat levels in a vertical garden than with regular ones, specifically while installing an irrigation system. The plants need consistent moisture in order to survive, which is not always possible due to its intricate design and depth reaching only a few feet underground.
In conclusion, creating a vertical garden adds beauty but also has its own set of problems, such as potential damage from pests or overheating, needing extra care and monitoring systems for long-term success.
