LiveWall’s indoor living wall system grows healthy plants on interior building walls.  Large planters support a wide variety of plant options, and LiveWall’s automatic irrigation system provides drip-free watering and drainage.

Outdoor Green Wall System

LiveWall outdoor systems are designed to withstand the elements.  Architectural quality planters are molded from the same material as car bumpers.  Our unique RainRails deliver water through anodized aluminum rails, which maintain their beautiful finish and integrity in all weather conditions.

Our mission is to empower our customers with living wall structures, protocols and plants that make living walls simple and lasting, accessible and serviceable to a broad customer demographic.

We aim to be knowledgeable, innovative and uncommonly helpful as we foster a greener world.

Vision

Our vision is to restore the balance between green space (plants) and hard space (concrete, steel, glass).

We aim to create a greener more hospitable planet by proclaiming the benefits of plants and helping our clients to successfully install and cultivate them (on vertical surfaces).

Method

LiveWall is designed to parallel nature. With LiveWall, plants enjoy natural orientation; stems are oriented upward instead of sideways. Roots are allowed to grow downward—in a nutrient rich soil (not sit in water, or cling to an artificial substrate).Irrigation comes from above, like rainfall, and excess water drains from the lowest point of each planter, for healthy, oxygen-enriched roots.

Whether you are a commercial property owner, professional landscape contractor, architect, interior designer or landscape designer, LiveWall is proud to have demonstrated its performance as the world’s best provider of flexible, modular living wall systems that can be installed on virtually any outdoor surface and on most indoor walls of any office, home, or workplace.

GSky Plant Systems, Inc. is an award-winning global provider of turn-key living walls and vertical gardens tailored to fit your Interior and Exterior needs.

We offer four living wall systems since a One-Size-Fits-All Approach Doesn’t work. Our live wall systems are all water-efficient and unique in terms of design capability, plant selection variety, possible installation locations, cost, coverage timeline, desired size, and system components.

GSky Professionals will help you through the entire process from design, installation, and maintenance. Our team will help you choose and plan the right system for your circumstances. So that you have a beautiful, thriving, and successful living wall experience for years to come. Our plant knowledge and living wall experience combine to create lasting, cost-efficient, safe, and maintenance-friendly living walls.

This guide will give you everything you need to know about the basic types of growing systems in hydroponics:

The most blatant benefit of hydroponic gardening is the massively increased growth rate of most plants. It’s not uncommon for a plant to grow at least 20% faster than soil gardening. On top of that, plants will typically yield at least 25% more than their soil counterparts.​

This happens because you’re making it easier for them to get the nutrients they need to grow. When they have to struggle less to find pockets of water or nutrition like they would in soil, they can divert that energy to growth.

It’s important to keep in mind that you only enjoy these ​benefits if you set up and maintain your hydroponic garden carefully.

Types of Hydroponic Systems

There are six main types of hydroponic systems to choose from:

Nutrients and water are moved into a plant’s root zone via a wick, which is often something as simple as a rope or piece of felt.

One key to success with a wicking system is to use a growing media that transports water and nutrients well. Good choices include coconut coir, perlite, or vermiculite.

Wick systems are good for smaller plants that don’t use up a lot of water or nutrients. Larger plants may have a hard time getting enough of either via a simple wick system.

To oxygenate the water, you use an air pump with an air stone to pump bubbles into the nutrient solution. This prevents your roots from drowning in the water — a weird thing to think about, but it can (and does) happen to many beginner hydroponic gardeners.

Your plants are typically housed in net pots that are placed in a foam board or into the top of the container that you’re using for your reservoir. With some hydroponic growing media added into your net pots, they provide a home for the very beginning of your root system and plant stems.​​

Unlike deep water culture, your plants roots are not completely submerged in a NFT system — hence the “film” part of the system’s name.

Plants are placed in these channels using net pots and growing medium and can be replaced or harvested on a one-by-one basis. ​

Instead, you grow in a tray filled with a growing medium. The tray is “flooded” with your nutrient solution a few times per day, depending on factors like:

Flooding is accomplished by using a reservoir below the tray, a water pump, and a timer to schedule the flooding cycle.

After the tray is flooded, gravity drains the solution back down into the reservoir, where it is being oxygenated by an air pump and air stone. It sits there waiting for the next flood cycle, and the process goes on.

Hydroponic growers choose ebb and flow systems for their flexibility. Most of them will fill the tray with a growing medium of their choice and also add net pots to organize their plants and control the roots a bit more.

Some growers prefer to mist on a cycle like an ebb and flow system, but the cycle is much shorter, typically only waiting a few minutes between each misting. It’s also possible to mist on a continual basis and use a finer sprayer to ensure more oxygen gets to the root zone.

Aeroponic systems have been shown to grow plants even quicker than some of the simpler systems like deep water culture, but this has not been verified to be true in all cases. If you want to experiment with this system, you will need specialized spray nozzles to atomize the nutrient solution.

Our patented, pleated pocket living plant wall systems are an elegant solution for growing lush living walls anywhere, from homes and workplaces to entire facades. Lightweight, easy, and fun, it's the perfect way to grow vertically.
