Planting time
Spring and autumn are ideal. If planting is done in the summer, the green roof system must be thoroughly watered two to three times a week during the initial growth phase (3-4 weeks) if the weather is dry .

Maintenance
Extensive plantings are low-maintenance, but not maintenance-free. In its first two growing seasons a green roof requires regular maintenance. By the end of two growing seasons the planting has generally developed to the point where the area is covered. After this, maintenance twice a year should suffice. This includes inspection of the roof drainage and waterproofing. Any vegetation or dirt that may be adversely affecting functionality must be removed.

Watering
If there is a prolonged dry period straight after planting, low-growing perennials will need to be watered 2 to 3 times per week. Once the root systems are established, an extensive planting can survive prolonged dry periods.

Bare patches
Failure of individual low-growing perennials may lead to "bare patches" on the roof. In this case, simply cut sprouts from well-developed sedum plants, spread them in the gaps, and work them in so that they are lightly covered with substrate. Then water.
