Today we would like to focus on one planting brick in particular - the organic planting brick "Flowers for wild bees" - which not only offers a breathtaking look, but also does something good for the little helpers of our nature.
typology
Plant bricks, also called plant tiles, are an innovation in the field of urban planting. They usually consist of a specialised substrate into which a seed mixture is placed. In our case, the organic plant brick "Flowers for wild bees", the focus is on a diverse sea of flowers that is specially tailored to the needs of the busy insects.
Origin
The idea for plant tiles actually comes from the field of green roofs. For a long time, they were a tried and tested way of planting green roofs easily and effectively. But they are increasingly finding their way into our gardens and onto our balconies to ensure they bloom and provide a habitat for insects.
The sight of a flowering plant brick is spectacular. When the late bloomer is at its peak, a colorful sea of flowers is created that turns every balcony into an eye-catcher. And the best part: you are contributing to the preservation of biodiversity by providing wild bees and other insects with food and a habitat.
Care
Plant bricks are designed as extremely easy-care balcony plants. They require little fertilizer and are usually filled with plants that can survive short dry periods without any problems. However, it is still important to keep an eye on your plants and care for them if necessary.
irrigation
Although plant bricks are generally rather undemanding, they naturally appreciate a regular and sufficient supply of water. Especially in summer, when the sun shines on the balcony all day, it can quickly become dry. This is where the topic of "balcony watering" comes into play. An automatic watering system ensures the ideal conditions for your plant brick. The Boum watering system has proven particularly useful here. With its intelligent control and the ability to supply up to twelve plant bricks or containers, it is the perfect solution for all those who want to provide their late bloomers with the best possible care, but do not always have the time (or the desire) to do this manually.With little effort, we can create an oasis for insects in our urban environment - and for ourselves. Start now and turn your balcony into an insect paradise!
