Planterra Lighting Guide

From living walls and atria to executive offices and luxury homes, interior design plans often include recommendations for live plant installations. And why not? Plants provide many benefits to humans—for aesthetics and for health. However, planning for adequate lighting and selecting plant species suitable for different environments requires careful consideration. The Planterra Lighting Guide for Interior Landscape Design provides insight on light measurement, natural and artificial light parameters and sources, acclimatized foliage, plant placement, geographic considerations, benefits to plants and people and more. The guide also includes a list of plants based on their tolerance to low-, medium- and high-light environments. Planterra created this white paper as a tool for architects, landscape architects, interior designers and other professionals looking to create environments where both plants and people can thrive. The comprehensive guide is also designed to help the reader optimize client investments in and the longevity of the interior landscapes they design.
