Installation Guide

It is a good idea to plant the pots before mounting them into the modular wall mounting

brackets. One of the main features of the Living Wall kit is that the pots can be removed

from the mounting brackets. This means that the potting can be completed on a bench at a

good working height. You can even establish the plants on the ground before mounting them

into the mounting brackets. Once the pots have been mounted to the mounting bracket, if

something goes wrong, it’s easy to remove a single pot and sort the problem out, or even

replant and then pop it back into its original position.

Pots Planting and Mounting Steps

Re-potting Plants

Most soft stemmed plants have a life span of one to two years and will need to be replaced

when they lose their appeal. Remove the pot from the mounting bracket, empty the pot and

use fresh potting mix, lling the potting mix to the top of the pot as settling will bring it

down as much as an inch.

Mount the pots into the mounting brackets. Each pot has a at hook

at the rear that slides into the center slot on the mounting

brackets. The slot is wider than the at hook and this allows some

movement when positioning the pots.

Once the pot is mounted and in position, insert the micro stake

into the pot and position the micro stake near the center of the pot.

Anchor the micro stake, which can be pushed into the potting mix, so

it doesn’t get blown or sprung out of position.

Position the meshed screen plate inside the pot with the two

supporting legs face down.

Plant the pot selecting the right potting mix for the plants used.

Turn the water on and check if the system is working well. If it

is leaking somewhere, investigate the issue and x it. Pressure-

test the system to identify leaks in the laterals and ttings, and

then program the hose end timer (tap timer) if used.

Note: If you are going to grow a selection of plants, please be aware that the top row is

best for taller growing plants as their natural vertical habit of growth is upward. For the

second rows of panels with pots, it’s better to choose plants with a at or even trailing

growth habit so they can get access to sunlight.

Water the plants regularly, two to three times per week. As a general

rule, the surface of the soil should dry out between each watering.

Watering requirements will vary as determined by location, weather,

plant and soil type. Use a hose end timer to regulate how much

water is applied to the plants.
