We installed the first devil's ivy installation on a minimalist metal support in an apartment in Bucharest. The result was so spectacular that we decided to document every step.
After hundreds of hours of observation, we established the optimal light regime for philodendron and ivy in enclosed spaces. We published the first set of practical recommendations for urban apartments.
We developed a modular wooden shelf system that allows natural stem guidance. Every living room corner can become a green wall without requiring professional intervention.
Over 500 apartments in Romania now use our methods. Measurements show a significant improvement in indoor air quality, and the shiny leaves have become the hallmark of our style.
We transform urban apartments into living spaces with easy-to-maintain climbing plants. No costly services, no chemical treatments – just indirect light, regular cleaning, and well-chosen supports.
Clear answers for those who want to integrate climbing plants into their urban home, without complications.
The most resilient for indoor spaces are devil's ivy (Epipremnum aureum) and philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum). Both tolerate indirect light and thrive on metal supports or wooden shelves. They require no special treatments and grow steadily if watered moderately.
Use minimalist metal supports or wooden shelves mounted on the wall. The stems will cling to the texture on their own, but you can help them with soft silicone clips. Ideally, let them intertwine naturally without forcing them. Once a week, check the direction and adjust gently.
Indirect light is essential. Place them 1–2 meters from a window facing east or west. Direct sunlight burns the leaves, while total shade slows growth. If you notice the leaves losing their color, move the plant to a brighter spot, but away from direct rays.
Once a month, wipe each leaf with a soft damp cloth (warm water, no soap). Remove dust and light deposits. Do not use chemical products or shine solutions – plain water is enough. Clean leaves absorb light better and look fresh.
Yes, studies show that species like devil's ivy and philodendron filter volatile organic compounds from the air, such as formaldehyde. The effect is especially noticeable in well-ventilated rooms with multiple plants. They do not replace ventilation, but help maintain a healthier microclimate.
Water them when the top layer of soil is dry to the touch – usually once every 7–10 days, depending on the humidity in your home. Excess water leads to root rot. Use a pot with drainage and always check the moisture before watering again.
