Green wall maintenance
A living wall is a complex system — plants, irrigation, hardware, nutrients. This guide is for homeowners and facilities leads who want to understand what goes into keeping one healthy in Kuwait.
What a green wall actually needs
Monthly irrigation flush and emitter check — calcium from Kuwait's hard water blocks drip lines within 6 months without this.
Fertigation (fertiliser-in-water) refill every 4–6 weeks.
Quarterly pruning, leaf cleaning, and plant replacement rotation.
Annual system audit — pump pressure, moisture sensors, controller settings, structural integrity.
What you should never DIY
Don't adjust the controller timings without a horticulturist — wrong irrigation cycles kill plants faster than any other variable.
Don't replace plants with species from a nursery that weren't part of the original palette — mixing substrate needs will destabilise the wall within weeks.
Don't use tap water in the fertigation tank — hard-water calcium precipitates with most commercial fertilisers and blocks lines.
What you can watch for
Brown patches appearing within 2–3 weeks of install = transplant shock; should resolve.
Brown patches appearing after 6+ months = a specific emitter is blocked or a specific zone is under-lit. Call us.
Puddles at the base = drain line clog or over-irrigation. Call us same-day if visible.
Musty smell = fungal issue in a damp pocket. Requires professional rebalancing.
Seasonal considerations
Summer (Kuwait's hottest months): evaporation is high. Irrigation frequency typically increases 20–30%. We adjust controller settings at the May and October visits.
Winter: growth slows; we reduce fertigation concentration. Watch for plants that bloom in winter (Peace Lily) and either trim or keep depending on the aesthetic brief.
