Membuat Taman Vertikal Dengan Karpet Geotextile dan Irigasi Otomatis Part 3 ( Penanaman Bunga )

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of planting flowers in a vertical garden using geotextile carpet and an automated irrigation system. This is the third part of a series on creating a vertical garden, which can enhance your space and provide a beautiful display of flowers.

Step 1: Prepare Your Planting Area

• Ensure that your vertical garden structure is securely installed and that the geotextile carpet is properly positioned.
• Check the irrigation system setup to confirm that it is functioning correctly.
• Gather your flowers, ensuring they are appropriate for vertical gardening and the climate in your area.

Step 2: Select Appropriate Flowers

• Choose flowers that thrive in vertical gardens. Consider factors such as:
  • Sunlight requirements (full sun, partial shade)
  • Growth habits (trailing, climbing)
  • Blooming season (to ensure continuous color)
• Some recommended flowers include petunias, fuchsias, and trailing ivy.

Step 3: Planting the Flowers

• Create small pockets in the geotextile carpet for each flower:
  • Use scissors or a small knife to cut slits in the carpet, ensuring they are wide enough to accommodate the roots.
• Gently remove the flowers from their pots and loosen any tightly bound roots.
• Place each flower into its designated pocket, ensuring the roots are well-positioned and covered with the geotextile material.
• Firmly press the carpet around the base of each plant to provide stability.

Step 4: Watering and Irrigation Setup

• Ensure the automated irrigation system is set to water the new plants adequately:
  • Set the timer according to the needs of the flowers and environmental conditions.
  • Test the system to ensure water is reaching all areas of the vertical garden evenly.
• Monitor the moisture level in the geotextile material, especially during the first few weeks after planting.

Step 5: Maintenance and Care

• Regularly check for weeds and remove them promptly.
• Fertilize your flowers according to their specific needs, using a liquid or slow-release fertilizer.
• Prune dead or wilted flowers to promote healthy growth and encourage blooming.

Conclusion

Creating a vertical garden with flowers is a rewarding project that adds beauty to your environment. By following these steps—preparing your area, selecting the right flowers, planting them properly, setting up an irrigation system, and maintaining your garden—you can ensure a thriving vertical garden.
