Flora of the biowall

The plants that were chosen as options for the bio-wall were decided based on a number of factors that were decided upon in order to promote the vitality of both the people around them and of the plants themselves in an indoors environment. In order for a plant to be viable for the bio wall, it had to be able to tolerate an indoor environment,being able to survive at 60 degrees Fahrenheit at least, be tolerable of both shade and sun, as well as being nice to look at.

The species of plants that were chosen as the options for being a part of the bio-wall are as follows:
