Product Description

Material Type: -1

This product is the BrightGreen Living Wall Planter only, intended for outdoor use. Irrigator, Water Collector and decorative frame not included. Complete indoor kits which include the irrigator, water collector and decorative frame are sold separately (search for BrightGreen Living Wall Planter Kit). The horticulture industry is forever changed with the introduction of the BrightGreen Living Wall Planter. By graphically arranging a collection of plants in our patented polymer cells and mounting them on a vertical surface, designers, architects and the weekend gardener are presented with a whole new world in which to express their creativity. The BrightGreen Living Wall Planter consists of a single polymer unit measuring 8 by 18 by 4 and is lined with our proprietary moisture mat. Simply populate the planting cells within each unit with plants purchased at your local nursery by following the planting instructions provided with your planter. Each unit can be hung separately or in groups. Tilt the unit upright and attach it to any sound, vertical surface using the mounting bracket included with your planter. Water thoroughly (Please note: excessive water will drain out of the bottom!). Plants can be watered manually by installing our patented Irrigator (not included) or through your own built-in drip line system. Our planting cells can be hung separately or in groups, forming one seamless vertical landscape. Vertical planting can be applied to any size wall in any climate zone, even in commercial environments. Both the aesthetic beauty and the wellness factor of large, lush green facades compliment the urban landscape. Consider the ecological benefits of sustainability, heat reduction and habitat recreation and the addition of vertical planting becomes an even better compliment to concrete structures. Add color and interest to an otherwise large vinyl or concrete surface simply by adding bright flowers or plants.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good product Except for Fatal Flaw June 27, 2012

By Barbara A. McCray

Material Type:-1|Amazon Verified Purchase

The product design is very good and It would normally be expected to work well for what it is designed for but there are 2 problems and one of them is fatal.

1. More of a lip is needed on the front for normal soil retention, but that is no biggy and can be compensated for.

2. Much worse, it is advertised as being made of HDPE which is an excellent plastic and in black it would normally be expected to last many years outdoors.

However, one of the 3 that we ordered had its upper left corner broken almost all the way off (3" x 3" break) and that should never have happened.

If the plastic had been pure virgin HDPE it never would have broken, but this plastic was brittle which indicates a heavy use of clay fillers in the plastic.

Not uncommon in $4.00 wastebaskets, but it has no place in something that is supposed to survive decades outdoors and in fact, it assuredly won't.

It isn't the fact that it was broken that I am unhappy about, it is the fact that it is definitely made of a low grade consumer plastic that is utterly inappropriate for its intended long term outdoor use.

I am an engineer and I do understand plastics.

Amazon is replacing the broken one and I will put them up, but I will absolutely not buy any more of them and I would highly recommend that you do the same.

2.0 out of 5 stars Needs a design refinement June 19, 2012

By MIke B

Material Type:-1|Amazon Verified Purchase

The individual pockets are not at a substantial enough angle, or deep enough, to ensure that your soil will cover all of the root balls for your plants. I placed enough soil into the planter to cover the roots and tamped the soil into place; however, once it rains the soil "erodes" away and you are left with exposed roots. There needs to be a lip provided at the bottom of each compartment to reduce the mount of soil that "erodes" or you have to plant before spring and allow the root ball to stabilize the soil pocket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to Garden April 9, 2012

I am slowly building up a wall of succulents. These are great containers. They configure, like a jigsaw to add up or down. The water can trickle down through a trough like system. Pads in the bottom also hold in moisture.
