Phytosten with hands step by step

Phytosten is a vertical gardening, when plants grow out of the walls. Today, this direction is very popular in interior design, because this wall looks very unusual and beautiful. In addition, plants act as air filters, beneficially affecting human health.

How to make a phytosten with your own hands?

Despite the apparent complexity of the idea, it is not at all difficult to make a phytosten with our own hands. The construction of such a wall looks like this.

Progress:

1. If we consider the process of manufacturing phytostenes with our own hands step by step, then it's worth starting with making pockets. The role of the canvas is suitable for synthetic felt or other dense and durable fabric, not prone to rotting.
2. When sewing pockets, it is better to use kapron threads, so that the canvas under the weight of the plants does not fall apart. In the section, the pockets should look like this:
3. In the role of a frame for phytostenes, a sheet of plastic, aluminum or wooden slats impregnated with antiseptic is suitable. To it you need to attach our pockets with a construction stapler or glue it. It will give the structure rigidity, besides it will act as an additional waterproofing.
4. The distance from the green plantations to the wall should be 2 cm for ventilation of the rear wall.
5. In the upper part of our canvas with pockets (between plastic and felt) we install a plastic pipe for irrigation. There must be a lot of small holes in it for uniform spreading of water throughout the canvas. On the one hand, the pipe must be muffled.
6. To the upper pipe you need to bring a hose, through which water will come from the pump.
7. At the bottom of the canvas we attach a water pan where we install the pump (aquarium or fountain ). Choose a pump, depending on the height of the lift, plus a small margin.
8. The pump can be connected via a timer, so that it operates a certain number of times per day. First observe the level of moisture of the wall and adjust the process of watering.
9. When the design is assembled and ready for work, the time of gardening comes. We take the plants from the pots, shake off the excess soil, turn the rootlets into wet felt shreds.
10. We install the plants in the pockets assigned to them. If necessary, they can easily be swapped, but only at first, until they are rooted in the canvas.
11. That's so beautiful and unusual can look your phytosten, collected by your own hands.
