Monitoring of selected plant taxa for vertical vegetation structures intended for use in urban environments
Abstract: The centers of large cities are increasingly facing problems that arise from the operation of the heat island. One of the starting points for improving urban overheating is to increase the proportion of greenery in streets and other urban areas. Different systems for placing plants vertically may be a suitable alternative for places where it is not possible to place greenery in a conventional manner. The real use of different types of grasses in special vertical pots was verified. This is a world novelty, which aims to ensure simple and reliable landscaping of outdoor vertical areas throughout the year. The need for outdoor vertical greenery in cities has long been talked about, but functional and reliable technology is still lacking. Cascade Garden technology can create an outdoor vertical garden with classic self-watering pots, but grasses in vertical pots are an absolute world first. The cultivation of various species of climbing evergreen plants in baskets (pots) from curry nets was tested, where the plant is pre-grown to the required density and height. The climbing plant grows a vertical curry net of various heights anchored to a basket in the ground. Furthermore, it will be possible to pick it up from the ground by car with a "hand", transport it and plant it already in a new, prepared place with immediate effect. There will be almost no need to worry about such a hedge. It's an easy way to create a dense, green and impenetrable hedge in one day. It can be used around roads, sidewalks, playgrounds, driveways to houses, etc. This is a novelty in the Czech Republic. Representatives of cities are also increasingly demanding the creation of a simple plant-driven structure where roads, sidewalks, playgrounds, etc. need to be separated.
