Design structure of phytomodulules
The phoconstructors offered in the stores are made of plastic (PVC) and sealed on the back side. Therefore, the wall to which the phytodul is mounted or near which the phytomodul is installed. No additional hydrophobic sucks do not need to do.
On the vertical basis cells are located - plant landing zone. This cells contain a system of automatic drip irrigation, a water tank and a motor for supplying water is provided here, as well as a humidity sensor is installed.
On the control panel, you can set a specific water supply program to plants as soon as the sensor will show the lower humidity limit, the automatic irrigation system will immediately work, and the plants will again receive the water they need and develop.
The dimensions of phytomoduli are different, on average from 30x30 cm for paintings and 80x180 cm for phytostine. The thickness of such structures is about 15-17 cm.
How plants are planted
For vertical interior landscaping, almost any plants of medium and small sizes are suitable for vertical interior landscaping.
Prepare plants disembarking cells, pour into each of them small grains of 1/3 from the height.
The basis or "soil" for plant landing is a moss sphagnum. It is sold now in flower shops. Moss absorbs well and holds moisture for a long time. Thanks to the bactericidal properties, it prevents fungal diseases.
In order to plant a flower into a cell, you need to remove it from the pot and slide all the earth. Then cut the roots' tips for 1-2 cm. If the root system is too big, then pruning on 1/3 of their length. Remains of the Earth wash in a basin with water.
After that, the roots of the plant wrapped in a wet moss and inserted in this form to the cell. If there is a place, put moss from above.
Thus, all other cells are filled. Try to plant plants so that there is no space between them. Form a beautiful "green" canvas.
What plants choose
All small plants are suitable for phytosta. Even cacti are suitable. If in the name of the plant in flower shops is the MINI prefix, then feel free to take this plant on the "wall". How to arrange the composition depends only on your imagination. You can use one species, for example, it looks good with spathiflow or anthurium. And it is possible to make a picture from plants, for this purpose the various types of MEDICAL. They grow long and do not lose their form.How to care for plants
Care of plants is the periodic waterproof water to the tank of automatic irrigation. You can also add different feeding. Spraying plants do not require, because wet peat evaporates moisture and thus creates optimal humidity and a special microclimate required by plants. As the plant grows, it will be necessary to cut down the discovers, remove dried leaves or flowers.
