1. For hot aspect gardens use succulents. Sedums provide a huge variety in as vertical garden or as ground covers. Ripsalis species are well suited as they often grow in the air and look dramatic in form, they are great for indoor and outdoor situations. Here are a few succulents growing in a recycled tyre green wall built by Evolvement Pty Ltd.
2. Indoor plants may need artificial lighting. Plants require a specific spectrum. Metal Halide lights typically are the best for this although use a lot of energy. New LED lights are available but expensive. Locating your green walls near windows will reduce energy use.
3. Where turf wont grow due to shade, wear or dogs, synthetic turfs are available that are luxurious and natural looking, see more (www.greenlook.com.au)
4. Terrific hardy plants you can't go wrong with for indoors include Pothos (Epipremnum "Aurea") , Spathiphyllum, Spider plant (Chlorophytim 'Variegata'), always include these in your mix with some more exotic species. These species are good in low light areas.
5. Green roofs can grow as much food as you need. Chilies, herbs, greens are very productive. Local grown plants are now a major feature of restaurants and bars around the world. They are both attractive and ideal for "good for you" and "low energy" food marketing.
6. Pots and steel green wall divider can be great for growing lush plants on hard terrace paving surfaces.
