A few days ago I was walking along a very commercial artery in my city when I came across a large store covered with plants. I am not talking about large flowerpots or generous beds, but about a green facade, a vertical garden in the heart of a busy street. The vertical gardens Today they are a global trend, perhaps because cities demand new green alternatives in order to get out of the eternal urban gray.
The selection of plants for vertical gardens It is wide and it is possible to choose different alternatives, taking into account the appearance of each species and the care that each of them requires.

Among the best plants for vertical gardensthe creeping fig treea very green and climbing evergreen plant, which adapts very well to walls and heights. It belongs to the Moráceas family and is a generous plant that can be used as a base by combining it with other plants.

Despite being very classical, the Chlorophytum comosus, better known as ribbonIs one of the Ideal plants for vertical gardens. It is austere but effective as it grows very well outdoors and is not very demanding. Its soft green color contrasts very well with other plants and thus helps when dividing the vertical garden.
