Vegetation on vertical vegetation structures and their benefits for the urbanized urban environment

Original language description

Vertical gardens are becoming increasingly popular around the world, but their significant expansion in Central Europe is limited by the climate. For growing plants, the biggest obstacle is the freezing winter. Due to the risk of damage to the irrigation system, it is necessary to turn it off in the winter and the plants must be able to survive this period without watering. This is a significant limiting factor, especially for the assortment of evergreen plants, although they are very popular for their aesthetic effect when grown in green walls. Primarily, mainly drought-loving plants were tested for planting in vertical gardens, but due to the system used by the company Němec s.r.o., which operates on a system of self-watering flower pots, the growing environment was not suitable for a large part of the plants used. In the second phase of the research, plants of a mesophytic to hygrophilous nature were used, which, based on previous experience, showed a higher potential for use in the above-mentioned system. Observations in the first phase of the research took place on the ČZU campus in Prague from November 2017 to May 2020. Testing of another assortment is currently underway at the same location with promising results from July 2024. The result of the testing is an assortment of plants that can be recommended for use in vertical gardens with a substrate system in the climatic conditions of the Czech Republic.
