400 species and cultivars grow on our building facade’s green wall, and each one is being tested to see if it can thrive on a vertical surface in Singapore’s climate. Explore the plant database to learn about the wall, see what we measure, or find out how to get involved in this live study.

Why do we need to study plants on green walls?
What are the measured criterias
of a functional green wall?
Biodiversity, especially pollinators
Green walls can bring back biodiversity through its vertical space by providing suitable habitats. For example, flowering plants offer food and shelter high above the street, linking parks and gardens into a network wildlife can travel along. Those visitors carry pollen and seeds as they go, helping greenery across Singapore grow better.
Consistent Thermal Cooling
This measurement helps to assess the potential cooling benefits of green walls when deciding which building facades to prioritise, particularly those exposed to strong sunlight, and inform expectations of temperature moderation.
Maintainence Expectations
During the first 12 months, monthly pruning helps establish healthy growth, manage foliage density, and maintain clearance around windows. After establishment, maintenance typically shifts to quarterly visits.
This provides building owners and facility managers with a practical starting point for planning labour, maintenance budgets, and long-term upkeep, while recognising that monitoring-intensive installations may require more frequent maintenance.
