To achieve successful outcomes and avoid future failure, Innovative Plant Technology (IPT) has developed a structured framework, PLIMA® (Plants, Light, Irrigation, Media, Air) to manage even the most complex indoor/outdoor plant installations, from the design stage through to completion and performance verification. We identify and address issues in a systematic way to ensure achievement of the design intent, minimized risk of landscape asset damage, avoiding costly replacements, achieve operating cost reductions and long term asset performance.
