MODULAR DESIGN.
TAILORED TO YOUR SPACE.
Bespoke design
Whatever size or design you have in mind, we’ll work with your team to design a stunning Hermosa Wall.
Clever maintenance
Simple clip on and clip off pot system makes plant changes, maintenance and instrument inspection easy and fast.
Inside or out
Designed to withstand the harsh outdoors, safely scale a building's facade or fit snuggly indoors, supported by specialised lighting.
MORE ROOM TO GROW
Pot system
Our honeycomb pot design features a spacious base, allowing plant roots to have more space to grow. All systems will eventually need more space but, comparatively, some pot based systems have very limited space, thus exposing plant roots at the early stages.
Creatively scalable
Our system is designed to be easily customisable. Start with a 30-pot system and expand as desired or create a design that's completely out of the box.
Irrigation is fully automated, and you can choose to upgrade to a recirculating irrigation, taking water waste out of the question.
Maintenance and warranty available for 1, 3, 5 and 10 years.

SPECIFICATIONS⁵
The Hermosa Wall is made up of three subsystems: the pot, tank and irrigation systems.
Hex Pot
180mm (H-front) x 140mm (D) x 180mm (W) x 220mm (H-back)
Master Tank
375mm (W) x 165mm (D) x 300mm (H)
Secondary Tank
300mm (W) x 165mm (D) x 300mm (H)
Lighting
LED strip lights with an angled reflector to create a wall washing effect. Can wash a max height of 2.4 meters. Supplied at 4000K with CRI of 85, and work life of 60k hours. Min of 200mm from top of plants and 400mm away.
Requirement: Mains electricity
Irrigation
Fully automated and can be upgraded to eliminate water waste via the installation of pump and water tanks, creating a recirculating irrigation flow.
Requirement: Mains water (max of 90 liters per hour)

FAQ'S
Do Hermosa Walls require lighting?
All plants require adequate lighting to photosynthesize, survive and thrive. If your wall is indoors, and occasionally outdoors, if light conditions are not ideal, your wall will require lighting. Your desired plant selection will also play a role. We will carry out a light study to understand the required conditions for your wall and provide you with our recommended lighting plan.
Is plumbing required?
Yes, Hermosa Walls require mains water and drainage connection points. We will carry out a light study in cases when plumbing is difficult to access from the location and manual watering is possible.
How are Hermosa Walls watered?
Watered via the irrigation subsystem, you are assured of a healthy and thriving green wall ecosystem. We also give you the option to install a remote access smart controller. Irrigation cycles will be controlled by our maintenance team and real-time alerts let our team know when abnormalities in the system occur, like a leak or someone accidentally turning off an irrigation tap.
Can I take a cutting from the wall?
Of course, but it's best not to take off the wall all the time. Whenever our maintenance team is on-site, tap them on the shoulder and ask for a cutting. It's a common question and our team love to share cuttings as well as some handy tips.
