Content: In order to improve the environmental air quality and let children learn with peace of mind, the Taichung Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau has continued to build a clean air green wall in the school. This year, 12 schools in Jianping Elementary School, Juren Elementary School and Chongde Elementary School have received subsidies from the Environmental Protection Department.
According to the Environmental Protection Bureau, through the installation of clean air green walls, indoor air quality can be improved. At present, space such as classroom corridors and flower stands outside the daughter wall in Taichung City can be planted, which can achieve the benefits of dust retention, air pollution absorption and temperature regulation.
In order to strengthen the protection of the school environment for children, the Taichung City Environmental Protection Bureau expanded the subsidy for the construction of a clean air green wall on the campus, and the current subsidy amount to 1.76 million yuan, with an area of 358 square meters.
The Environmental Protection Bureau stressed that currently selected plants that can purify the air and do not need to spend too much money and time to maintain include the Dragon Tubeh, the Junzi and Wu Bamboo, the Turtle, the Cannonflower or the Honeysuckle.
How good is the effect of clean air green wall?
According to international research, vertical clean air green walls can reduce the concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM10) by about 40% and 60%. In addition, green walls can also reduce the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in classrooms by about 10% and the concentration of ozone (O3) by about 30%.
Green wall is the most natural and energy efficient air purification facilities, no need to plug in electricity, self-circulation, to achieve the purpose of air purification, can be called the "most environmentally friendly air purifier".
Chen Hongyi, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, said that in addition to blocking outdoor pollutants and improving indoor air, the air green wall can also adjust the temperature and drive energy conservation and carbon reduction. Next year, Taichung City is expected to expand the subsidy target, including community activity centers, public kindergartens and environmental night markets.

What we call radiator plants are species belonging to the genus Peperomia. They're not-so-distant relatives of the plants that produce the kitchen staple black pepper. These are heat-loving plants native to tropical and subtropical regions. Radiator plants vary in appearance, though many have small, flat leaves, and thick stems. They're generally compact plantings, making them good choices for indoor gardening, hanging baskets, containers, and greenhouses.

It is commonly agreed that they received their common name from American horticulturalist Liberty Hyde Bailey, who—according to Charles Bixler Heiser in his 1985 book Of Plants and People—dubbed the species belonging to the Peperomia genus "radiator plants." It's an apt name, as the plants appreciate warm air and sunlight, though they can tolerate both wet and dry climates.

About Peperomia

Peperomia species are grown for their attractive and vibrant ornamental foliage, which comes in an array of shapes and colors. Often, their leaves are rounded and shaped like hearts, though some have elongated, pointed leaves. Much of the foliage of Peperomia species is bright green, but it can also be striped, spotted, or marbled. Some also produce flowers and berries.

Peperomia Care

These plants are easy to grow indoors, and most won't grow over a foot in height. They don't take up much room, and they don't need very attentive care. Provide your radiator plants with medium to full sunlight and occasional watering. A good rule of thumb is to water your plants once the soil has dried out completely (it should feel dry to the touch). They're fairly drought tolerant, and they grow just fine without any interference from fertilizer.

Peperomia Species

Popular species of radiator plants include Peperomia argyreia (P. sandersii), also known as watermelon peperomia, which has red stems and rounded leaves that are green and silver. They also produce green flowers. Peperomia caperata is known by the common name emerald ripple peperomia, and it produces white flowers, pink stems, and waxy green leaves. Peperomia obtusifolia (a.k.a baby rubber plant) has deep green foliage that's oval-shaped and can be marbled with white, in the case of P. obtusifolia 'Variegata.'

Singapore Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai..
Nature meets architecture, technology and art
The Singapore Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai prioritizes green architecture to help visitors appreciate the benefits and possibilities of integrating nature into our urban environments.
Showcasing green spaces, digital solutions and art as a whole, the pavilion embodies Singapore ’ s vision of becoming a city in the middle of nature and reflects the spirit of sustainable development through innovative and impactful urban solutions.
Yap Lai Pi, Deputy Commissioner-General of the Singapore Pavilion and Director of the Architecture and Urban Design Group at the Urban Redevelopment Authority, said the Singapore Pavilion shows the potential to develop appropriate agendas for integrating nature, architecture and technology through different digital designs and strategies.
We would like to invite visitors to reflect on their relationship with nature, through their journey of exploring the pavilion ’ s green digital system and its presentation of an integrated system for managing green spaces, water and energy systems.
In doing so, visitors will be able to appreciate the importance of planning and the scale of the challenges of building the Singapore Pavilion, and the ways in which we can live with our natural and built environment without harming both, where both people and the environment are taken care of.
The pavilion will see the creation of suitable local climates within the Rainforest Cone and Flower Cone areas to preserve rainforest vegetation.
With the growth of many plant varieties despite the harsh nature of the land and the rather difficult climatic conditions, this combination of lush landscapes can flourish in different environments around the world if renewable resources are used.
The pavilion promotes the use of technology to enhance the design and development of rare landscapes as it is not easy to take care of the plant species inside the pavilion, especially those on the curved green walls of the cones and cones inside the pavilion.
To meet this challenge, three models of climbing robots will examine the green walls around the flower cone to examine the health of plants, as well as collect environmental data to monitor the performance of wing systems.
The pavilion provides visitors with the opportunity to learn about the science behind the pavilion ’ s construction through the “digital ecosystem ” of art and electronic games. The specially designed agriculture panel and innovative technological applications used in water and energy management are design strategies that enable the Singapore pavilion to achieve the goal of 100% green energy.
Preparations for the Singapore Pavilion are in their final phase, with landscaping completed and digital exhibitions currently being finalised before opening on October 1, 2021.
Different stations of the Singapore Pavilion ’ s unique experience will also be offered online and online platforms.

Content: Planting, Watering and Healing: Surprising Health Benefits of Indoor Plants

The grass isn't always greener. Since the early 80's, scientists have studied the biophilia hypothesis – that seeing plants is beneficial to our physical and mental health. With increased urbanization, exacerbated by lockdowns due to a global pandemic, it's becoming harder and harder to ‘go out and get some air.'

The indoor plant market, already spiking in 2019, continues to surge – expected to grow exponentially in the coming years.

A study released by Data Bridge Market Research estimates the indoor plant market will reach $26.23 billion by 2029. The physical and mental health benefits of succulents and other indoor houseplants are important factors.

Many people may be surprised to discover the lesser-known benefits of indoor gardens, but experienced horticulturalists and gardeners have been advocating for the expansion of home gardens for decades.

Stress and Anxiety Reduction

The addition of real or artificial indoor plants has become a standard practice in many offices, hospitals, schools, and other institutions. According to researchers, just seeing a living plant in the otherwise sterile hospital waiting room environment has been shown to reduce stress levels.

In another study, subjects were asked to repot a living plant or complete a computer-generated task. Those who handled the plants reported feeling more at ease and also experienced lower blood pressure. Participants who performed the computer-based task reported higher levels of anxiety and elevated blood pressure.

Maria Failla, Garden Expert and host of the Growing Joy with Plants podcast, shares, “When I was struggling with depression, it was helpful for me to keep plants indoors that helped me get out of my head and drop into the present. I'd see how many senses I could engage while taking 3 mindful breaths alongside my plants. Scented plants like herbs and geraniums are amazing for this. I love the rose-scented geranium for its romantic scent and the fuzzy leaves I could rub, pinch and take deep inhales with.”

Speed Up The Healing Process

A number of indoor houseplants, such as snake plants, orchids, and spider plants, have natural air purification qualities. Others improve a room’s humidity level or deliver a soothing fragrance. Microgreens also provide essential nutrients, making them ideal for patients in recovery.

Even seeing an indoor houseplant can improve a recovering patient’s mental and emotional state. One study concluded that installing indoor gardens in hospital rooms and public areas positively impacted overall recovery times and patient satisfaction.

Improve Mood During Isolation

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent household quarantines created a spike in indoor plant sales as many consumers discovered the natural air purification benefits of succulents and other plant species. Indoor gardening also provided isolated households with an activity that could be performed safely while under quarantine.

A study conducted in Bulgaria concluded that participants who maintained a home garden or raised houseplants had fewer incidents of anxiety or depression during enforced lockdowns than others who did not invest in plants or other greenery.

Cassidy Tuttle, gardening expert and owner of Succulents and Sunshine, observes, “Succulents are great plants for people who have depression. They don't require as much work as other plants, so they can tolerate the ups and downs that frequently come with depression. They stay looking healthy even if they're not watered regularly. Haworthiopsis fasciata, Zebra Plant, is an especially good option for indoor plants because it doesn't require a lot of light or water.”

Best Entry-Level Houseplants For Starting Indoor Gardens

Annie Schreck, Research Director at Mountain Crest Gardens, offers some insights and recommendations for beginners. “At Mountain Crest Gardens, we hear back from customers all the time that filling their homes and offices with succulents brightens their mood every day. The studies I have seen in this realm indicate that having plants around can correlate with improved student performance in classrooms and reductions in stress and sick days in workplaces. I certainly hope more researchers investigate these complex human-plant interactions.

Schreck adds, “There’s something about having other living creatures in a room that makes it feel cozy and inviting. Caring for them and seeing them respond is just so rewarding. And the great thing is, everyone gets to explore which varieties lift their mood the most! If you’re not sure where to start, I’d recommend indoor succulents like Haworthia, Jade plants, and Gasteria.”

Snake Plants

Snake plants (Sansevieria trifasciata)—also known as mother-in-law’s tongue— are thick-leaved succulents prized for their resilience and tolerance for drought. They grow well under low-light conditions, which makes them ideal for indoor gardens and room decor.

One major health benefit of snake plants is natural air purification. This goes beyond the standard absorption of carbon dioxide, however. Snake plants also remove and filter toxic gases such as benzene, xylene, and formaldehyde. They are also said to reduce headaches, improve respiration, and reduce eye irritations.

Microgreens

Microgreens such as broccoli, cabbage, and kale offer a wide range of health benefits, and their compact size makes them ideal for indoor gardens, especially hydroponics. Microgreens and fresh herbs provide home gardeners with flavorful aromatics and salad ingredients.

Among the many health benefits associated with microgreens are blood sugar regulation, vision protection, body weight reduction, and protection from anemia. Growing microgreens is also a highly recommended activity for those recovering from substance abuse since the plants provide the nutrition many addicts lack.

Orchids

While some orchid varieties have earned a reputation for being a challenge to grow, there are many varieties that require only minimal to moderate care. Besides their exceptional qualities as flowering plants, orchids are also natural air purifiers and oxygen generators. As part of a floral arrangement or as individual blooms, orchids have been shown in studies to reduce stress and improve mood.

Orchids are also recommended for people with sleep issues since the plant’s significant oxygen generation and aesthetic qualities both help create more soothing conditions at bedtime and during overnight hours.

Spider Plants

Spider plants have become popular houseplants for first-time home gardeners because of their child and pet-friendliness, ease of propagation, and exceptional air-purifying qualities. Beginning gardeners only need a small cutting from an existing spider plant to start their own projects.

The trailing leaves of a spider plant make it ideal for hanging baskets, a popular growing technique for limited spaces. The plant also raises the room’s humidity level, which helps address respiratory issues triggered by dry air conditions.

Peperomia Plants

 Because of their ability to thrive in drafty, dark, and humid locations in the home, peperomia plants are often referred to as “radiator plants”.  Peperomia plants are succulents, which means they are naturally resilient to abuse and require minimal maintenance.

Tinctures and other products derived from peperomia plants are used to address a range of medical ailments, including headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, and kidney issues. The plant also has antifungal and antioxidant properties.

Jade Plants

Another popular succulent for indoor gardens is the ornamental and medicinal jade plant. The jade plant’s distinctive round leaves have become associated symbolically with the acquisition of money and wealth. The jade plant’s appeal goes beyond the ornamental, however.

Products derived from the juice of the jade plant have been used in many cultures for the treatment of ailments including diabetes, skin wounds, digestive issues, and warts. In traditional Chinese culture, the presence of a jade plant also improves the flow of chi, or life force.

The Big One: A showstopping property

February 4, 2022 -  By

Company: Mullin
Location: New Orleans

Encompassing a great lawn, a pool, house and guesthouse, this property must remain in tiptop condition because it’s the venue for frequent family and corporate gatherings.

After walking through several sites for a new home build with the client, Chase Mullin knew this particular property was a winner.

“The owner is a personal friend of mine, and he also owns one of the construction companies that we subcontract for,” says Mullin, president and CEO of Mullin. “He knew from the beginning that he wanted to engage with us in the design/build capacity. It was special for me as a landscape contractor to tour the properties with him and to have that kind of influence so early on in the process.”

Since performing the initial installation, Mullin has maintained the site using small, dedicated crews.

“For residential properties, we use small crews because we see them more as gardeners,” Mullin says. “We budget the time for them to work through the property, trimming one area one week and another the next week. Part of their job is to oversee the property and make sure it’s as weed-free as possible.”

Challenges of the site include the warm, wet climate, which provides a breeding ground for pests and disease, and the site’s dependence on subsurface drainage.

To help address these issues, Mullin’s garden manager walks the property weekly with the client’s house manager, ensuring the highest level of detail work throughout the property.

The property also features a custom-designed integrated pest management program (IPM). Between scheduled applications, Mullin’s lead IPM technician regularly visits the site with the garden manager to prevent pest and fungal outbreaks.

To perform the mowing, trimming and pruning work, the company relies on battery-powered Stihl equipment.

“That equipment is powerful enough to be able to service the extent of the property, and it causes little to no disturbance to the owners,” Mullin says.

The project won Mullin a Silver award from the National Association of Landscape Professionals’ Awards of Excellence program.

Green & Cold - Cooling Cities
Cities around the world are increasingly exposed to extreme heat waves.
Too much concrete and narrow streets raise the temperature of cities, posing a health hazard.
But there are innovators who have declared war on the heat with new ideas to cool cities.
Watch the video 26: 00
In the center of Düsseldorf, rope-clad gardeners hang on the largest green facade in Europe.
Architect Christophe Ingenhoven designed this façade to cool the closed neighborhood on hot days.
Now Martin Pilz and his team have to take care of this 27-meter-high façade during the hot summer: “The leaves of the plants retain moisture and evaporate when it ’ s hot.
It ’ s better than a sunshade! ”
Rainwater expert Klaus Gotchheim says: “We have to bring the water back to the cities – it cools the whole area. ”
Open water streams in cities provide this opportunity, and ensure cooler temperatures.
Singapore ’ s skyscrapers look like they ’ re in the middle of a tropical forest.
These dense inner cities still deliver a high quality of life, and Thomas Schroepfer at the University of Singapore is researching how to achieve that quality.
Rethinking the architecture of building cities and protecting them from heat waves is a challenge for green megacities to secure a healthy future that keeps pace with climate change.
