Because they have a quiet talent that’s barely visible from the outside: in winter, they become true energy-saving experts. While everything outside rests beneath a blanket of snow, plants switch into their own dormant mode – low demand, little movement, but full preparation for spring.
This is clearly visible across our pre-cultivation areas: a gentle, white expanse, almost entirely covered in snow. In several places, green shoots peek through – a clear sign that life continues underneath.
Minimal consumption
In winter, plants lose almost no water through evaporation, allowing them to withstand dry, frosty spells without stress.
Energy-saving mode
Their metabolism slows right down, protecting them from frost damage.
Natural insulation
The snow cover acts like a warming blanket, stabilising the temperature around the root zone.
Quiet preparation
Our pre-cultivation areas give plants exactly the protected conditions they need to come through winter stronger.
For us at Vertiko, façade greening is far more than just an attractive feature. It’s living, resilient plant power, ready to spring into action on the façade once the warmer months arrive.
