The invention discloses a lightweight matrix for sky-rise greenery and belongs to the technical field of gardening. The lightweight matrix is prepared from a material mixture of vinegar residue, cassava residue and crop straw powder which are subjected to fermenting and composting, minced coco coir, plant ash, peat and pearlite and is characterized by being prepared from the ingredients in parts by volume: 3-6 parts of vinegar residue, cassava residue and straw powder mixed organic fermented material, 1-2 parts of minced coco coir, 1-2 parts of plant ash, 1-2 parts of peat, 0.5-1 part of pearlite and a ternary compound fertilizer, of which the weight is 0.2-0.5% of the total weight; the matrix has the characteristics that the grain size is not greater than 5mm, the moisture content is 35-50%, the total porosity is 65-75%, and the volume weight is 0.35-0.5g / ml; in a dry matrix, the content of organic matters is not lower than 30%, the content of total nutrients is 2-3%, the EC value is 1.0-2.0sM / cm, the gas-water ratio is 1:(2-4), and the pH is 5.5-7.0; the matrix is granular solid, of which the appearance is dark-brown or black-brown, and is odorless. The lightweight matrix disclosed by the invention is loose in texture, light in specific weight and high in nutrient and is very applicable to the sky-rise greenery, such as urban primary road guardrails and pedestrian overpasses.
