Plants Can Live Without Watering with the Green Roof Trays
Imagine planting green plants in green roof trays and put it on the roof, isn’t it fresh and green? More and more countries will promote the roof greening work with the green roof trays to dress up buildings.
Select the very drought-tolerant plants to grow in the trays. The maintenance cost will be very low, and even zero cost.
The density of buildings in the downtown area is large, and it is difficult to grow green trees. However, the roof greening can skillfully give the residents a green touch.
The project uses assembled “green roof trays” that are lightweight and reduce the load on the roof. The plants used in the trays are particularly drought-tolerant. Basically, they do not need to be watered. They can survive on rainwater and do not need pruning. It can be said that they are low-cost maintenance and even zero-cost maintenance. “Tray” green plants are green like turf. If they are laid on a large area of the roof, they will greatly enhance the landscape effect.
In fact, greening with the green roof trays not only has a beautifying effect, but also has ecological benefits. Greening can release oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide, reduce dust, reduce noise, and insulate heat, reducing the urban heat island effect. In addition, the water storage rate of this greening method can reach 43%, which meets the requirements of the sponge city and reduces surface runoff. Citizens do not have to worry about water accumulation on the roof, nor will they breed mosquitoes and flies.
In addition, the green roof trays greening method can be converted into a certain rate of green space. For example, in the old town, road is narrow and there is little space for greening. It is possible to increase the rate of green space through roof greening with the green roof trays.
