Our planting methods
Pre-cultured baskets
Before installing your plant columbarium, we grow the plants in Vertiflore baskets, placed in optimal conditions outside our premises and factory. This pre-cultivation method allows the plants to fully develop and flower even before the structure is installed. As a result, when installed, your plant solution immediately presents a lush, attractive appearance.
Planting after installation
Once the plant columbarium structure has been installed, our team of experts plant it directly on site. This technique allows plants to be adapted to the specific conditions of their final location, ensuring healthy, long-lasting development. Our specialists take care of every detail, from soil preparation to irrigation, to ensure that plants take root properly and thrive in their new habitat.
