Using Monte Carlo simulations in NP(z)T ensemble a growth of the crystalline germ on the planar walls is modeled. Both hard spheres and colloid-polymer mixtures were considered. The latter was represented by one-component colloid system described by an effective Asakura-Oosawa potential. The repulsive interactions between the wall and colloids were tuned such that no wetting layer was allowed. We show how to stabilize the solid nucleus on the wall and analyze its morphology.
