10 Fake Vertical Garden Ideas for Small Space 2023

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Feb 27, 2023
Artificial greenery and vertical gardens have resolved the problem of not having enough time to look after plants. Still, another issue that troubles many people is the space constraint of setting up a garden. Well, who says you can’t create spectacular gardens in small spaces? Regardless of the space constraint, everyone should have access to fresh greenery and colourful flowers. With the help of the wide range of products available at Designer Vertical Gardens, you can easily overcome your problems in no time. Whether you wish to create a masterpiece independently or seek help from the experts, keep in mind that you can always surround yourself with lush artificial gardens in no time. If you wish to overcome all the space constraints, read on to find out about 15 fake vertical garden ideas for small spaces. Leaning Wooden works Vertical Gardens One of the easiest ways to create a faux vertical garden is to lean a ladder or a wooden frame against the wall and set up artificial greenery over it. If you have spent some time in the carpentry workshop or know someone who can assist you, you can unleash your creativity and create wooden works that will add to the beauty of your artificial garden. Upcycled Gutters Vertical Gardens If you have old rain gutters, you can use them as planters too. Using something as simple as upcycled gutters and a few ropes, you can create an array of planters to hold your artificial gardens. Another way you could go about it is by cutting them along their length into halves. These halves can be fixed onto walls or fences to create a mesmerising artificial garden. It makes you wonder how something like discarded rain gutters, once restored and painted with a few touch-ups, become a part of such a beautiful artificial vertical garden wall. Artificial Succulent Dresser Gardens Why throw away your old dresser when you can use it to create a vertical garden? Furthermore, the speciality of the dresser gardens is that you can create a cascading effect by pulling out the drawers to a certain extent and filling them up with artificial greenery and foliage. The best part about the dresser gardens filled with artificial succulent plants is that you can keep them in the dark corners or empty spaces of any part of your house. Watch your spaces light up instantly once you add the vertical dresser garden. Portable Wooden Box Gardens Who doesn’t like to have the option to move things around at a moment’s notice? Why should your breathtaking artificial vertical gardens be any different? If portability is your top priority, you can create a gorgeous garden that can be relocated in no time. Attach a few wheels to a wooden boxed planter with a wired frame on the top. With the help of the wheel, you can move it around as much as you wish. And the wired frame gives you the freedom to create the fake vertical garden of your imagination. Whether you wish to set up planters along the frame or want to have some fun with artificial vines, the choice is yours. Hex-Wire Vertical Gardens Hex-wire vertical gardens are as minimalistic as it gets, but don’t let their simplicity and subtle design fool you. The hex-wire frames hold fantastic potential for creating artificial vertical gardens. If you can’t find space anywhere else in your spaces, something as simple as a hex-wire frame can get you going. The hex-wire frames are the perfect base to hook up terra-cotta pots, planters or any other upcycled planters you can think of. You can create a lush, green artificial vertical garden for yourself by erecting a frame in the space you got or making the most of the hex-wire fencing surrounding your yard. Small-space Balcony Railings Gardens If you aren’t able to make room anywhere in your house, why not head out to your balcony? A few well-placed pots and some hanging baskets or planters on a rustic frame create a small-space vertical garden apt for your balconies or patios. Potted Artificial Plant Wall With the help of a few wooden boards with appropriate holes in them, you can hang potted plants vertically and string them up with ropes. Make sure you secure them in their place with the help of brackets and zip ties. Plus, you can give your potted artificial plant wall a boho vibe using crochets or macrame. Stacking Wooden Boxes It goes without saying that vertical gardens are made by stacking plants one above the other. The part where you get to show your creativity is how you stack them up. Using wooden boxes, you can make all kinds of structures to create artificial vertical gardens that suit your taste. Stack them up alternatively, or cut through them once you have a perfect grid to make space for your artificial flowering plant and shrubs. There are innumerable ways in which you can figure this arrangement out. Vertical Pyramid Garden Planter The best thing about pyramid planters is that their angular shape allows you to scoot them into nooks and cronies where no other planter can be accommodated. You can create pyramid planters of your own with as many tiers as you want. That’s another exciting aspect of the pyramid garden planters, and you can create miniature landscapes and gardens of your choice with the help of the multi-tiered arrangement. Setting up artificial vines, succulents, and other greenery in different tiers can give you different aesthetically pleasing fake vertical gardens. Mini-Greenhouse for the Stay-at-Home Green Thumb Among other ideas, terrariums are a surefire way to create fabulous, eye-catching small garden spaces at home. You can use any kind of discarded container, whether it’s glass or plastic. As long as it’s transparent, it will do. These terrariums are made with the help of artificial succulents and other ornamental artificial plants that mimic the look of a mini greenhouse. Once you have enough terrariums, you can create an artificial vertical garden. Hanging them from the roof with the help of thin strings gives you a floating vertical garden in the air. Else, you can stack them up on your shelves and frames or attach them to the walls. Spruce Up Your Spaces With Designer Vertical Gardens Most of the ideas listed above can help you spruce up your spaces, both indoors and outdoors. But these ideas are just the tip of the iceberg of the possibilities you can access with artificial greenery. If you wish to make your spaces more lively and vibrant, don’t refrain from seeking help from the experts. We take immense pride in our products' quality and durability at Designer Vertical Gardens.

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Feb 01, 2023
The decor and aesthetics of your living rooms are a reflection of you and your family, it’s arguably one of the most important rooms in the house where you spend the majority of your time. While making the most of the space is a common goal among all kinds of homeowners, everyone also wants their living room to make a visual statement. And artificial greenery is one of the easiest, cost-efficient ways to create a warm, welcoming environment for your living rooms. With the help of artificial plants available online, you eliminate the hassle of watering, pruning and maintenance that comes with natural plants for sprucing up your living spaces. Whether you wish to create a visual statement in your living room or add some character, here are 10 amazing ways to beautify your spaces with artificial plants. Creating a Wall of Cute Artificial Ornamental Plants Get creative with succulents and other artificial ornamental plants. Whether you have a bare wall in your living room or want to decorate the spaces around your TV, hanging small terracotta pots is one way to create the illusion of floating plants. You could also use small geometric pots or minimalistic designed miniature wooden pots to create a modern representation of artificial greenery. Ref image: balconygardenweb Hanging Planters on a Wooden Frame or Grid If you want your space to host free-spirited aesthetics and create a Boho interior, you can hang a wooden frame or grid on your wall. With the help of this frame, you can use anything from DIY solutions to planters to create an array of artificial plants or mix it up with some vines and give your living rooms a Bohemian vibe. Floating Shelves Filled With Artificial Greenery Floating shelves are another way to create the perfect indoor wall garden. Whether it’s a hexagonal grid of floating shelves or you set up horizontal platforms across your wall, depending on your preferences, you can put up all kinds of artificial plants and flowers onto those shelves. Furthermore, if you wish to add some colour to it, you can bring a few artificial flowers to make the wall pop-out to life. Ref image: balconygardenweb Filling Up the Empty, Unused Spaces No matter how hard you try, some spots remain empty or unused all around your house. While these spots might not be a big deal in the other rooms, they present a huge opportunity to upgrade your living rooms. Placing artificial plants of different heights around such spots or setting up a small shelf of artificial flowers and plants can really change the entire aesthetic experience of your living room. Adding a Pop of Colour With Table Pots Bringing your living rooms to life with artificial greenery is one thing. Still, you could also use the vibrant hues of artificial flower arrangements and add a few shades of the rainbow to coordinate with the style and patterns of your furniture, curtains and other elements in your living room in Australia. Even something as simple as an artificial tulip in a glass vase, a few stems of lavender or maybe a veil of artificial bougainvillaea can make a massive difference if set up correctly. Accentuate the Furniture Set up a few artificial plants beside your furniture to make it pop out. Whether it’s a velvet sofa in the centre of your room, the coffee table or a shelf lying around in the corner of your living room, all of them will look much better when accompanied by fake plants or flowers of contrasting colours. Creating a Picturesque Window Frame Some people are lucky enough to find a house with a window that offers them a mesmerising view of the scenic skies, gardens or the neighbourhood. For the other people that have ended up with a window facing a less-than-picturesque wall or alley, artificial greenery is here to save the day. You can change your entire view by hanging a few artificial plants or vines in front of the window. While at it, you might as well set up a full-fledged artificial garden around your window frame to create a picturesque window frame in your living room. Breathe Life into the Walls Do you know what’s better than boring, mundane walls? A wall filled with artificial greenery creates a warm, welcoming environment that’s cosy and earthy. With the help of an artificial green wall, you breathe life into your walls and create a bold, impactful visual statement for your living rooms. Fiddle With the Corners All houses have at least one windowless and sunless corner that feels like an isolated part of your home. These corners are often neglected and left as is, which spoils the aesthetics of your entire living space. You can place a few fake flowers, shrubs or small plants and fiddle around with the corners of your Australian homes, adding some greenery here and there. Wooden Geometric Sections to Display Plants Whether you want to get crafty and create a few wooden sections of geometric shapes that complement each other or keep things simple, hang a few artificial green discs around your walls, here’s another way to bring your walls to life. Although artificial green plants and walls are becoming the norm in Australia, there’s nothing stopping you from taking over with your creativity and creating a masterpiece of artificial greenery of your own. Ref image: balconygardenweb Giving your living room a makeover with artificial greenery is now easier than ever.

DIY Fake Olive Tree: Everything You Should Know

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Jan 30, 2023
Olive trees seem to be the rage right now in home decor. Although many people worldwide love olive trees, taking care of them is a difficult task. If your heart is set on a potted olive tree but don't want to deal with the hassle and maintenance of growing it indoors, then a faux olive tree may just work wonders for you. Out of all faux indoor trees, faux olive trees are the trendiest. They look amazing and can really spruce up space; however, the retail price of most of these trees is expensive. But here's some good news for all those faux olive tree lovers! You can easily DIY a life-like fake olive tree for a fraction of the retail price, and the best thing is that it can be hard to distinguish from the real one. You'll definitely love it more than any store-bought fake olive tree version because you've poured your heart and soul into making it. Why make a fake olive tree? You might be thinking, "why would someone make a fake indoor olive tree?" Not only one, but there are several reasons why people prefer to make a fake olive tree. Read to know: Less Expensive Buying original or artificial olive trees can be expensive. Also, the retail price for a good-looking tree can go up to $400-$500. Faux olive trees can easily be created at a significantly lesser price at home, and it's exactly what many people want for their space. Custom Look You can easily customise the fake olive tree as per your requirements. It can be tall or short and have a full or minimal appearance to fit a specific space in your home. Zero Maintenance This is the most significant benefit of making an artificial olive tree. This tree isn't messy and needs no maintenance from you -- you don't have to water it, control temperature or lighting; it just sits there and looks great! You can also easily carry it around if you want to change the location. Now that you know why people choose to make a faux olive tree, let's waste no more time and break down what you need to get started DIY-ing your own olive tree! Materials to use: Pot or container Tree branches proportionally sized for your pot\ Styrofoam Faux olive tree branches Green or brown floral tape Hot glue, Gorilla glue, or other strong glue Optional Materials: Quikrete, soil, or newspaper to affix around the branch in the pot Craft paint the colour of the branch to paint over floral tape Moss to put on top if you use newspaper or grocery bags How to create a DIY Faux Olive Tree Step 1: Choose carefully Start by going on a little hunt to find a tree branch with a good-sized trunk and several smaller branches. Look for a decent size of at least 7 feet tall that would make sense with your ceiling height. If there are leaves attached to the branches, pluck them out. Step 2: Go shopping Remember, all artificial greenery is not created equal. So, start looking at different options of fake olive tree branches from various stores and choose some that fit your purpose. Also, buy an inexpensive basket and a block of styrofoam. Tip: If you have a spare basket around your house, you can use that as well. You can spray-paint the basket to make it a little extra interesting. Step 3: Create a base Use your drill (with a large drill bit) to create a right-sized hole in the styrofoam to fit the tree branch. Make sure that the styrofoam holds the tree branch reasonably tight. Put the foam inside the basket and use glue and newspaper or grocery bags to hold the foam tightly. If your foam is tight enough, you may not need extra materials to secure it. Step 4: Add the fake branches Once the tree stands firmly, check it over to see whether you need to remove some branches of the tree or not. If you're happy with how the tree branches rounded out the tree, get prepared to add the olive tree branches. Use a very small drill bit and start drilling small holes into the tree branches to insert the olive tree branches inside them. Try to drill at an angle so the stems would sit in better and angle upwards. Alternatively, you can also use green or brown bouquet tapes to attach the branches if you don't have access to a power drill or drill bits. Step 5: Don't stop until you have got an olive tree Every once in a while, step back and look at your tree. This way, you can know how the tree is filling out and if some spots are left behind that need your attention. Once your olive tree looks all natural and magical, put a little bit of moss on the top of the foam up to the edge of the pot. Adding moss makes the DIY fake olive tree look a bit more real and covers up all the ugly foam and newspaper. Alternatively, you can fill it with dirt to make it look even more natural! How to decorate indoors with a faux olive tree? You can put a faux olive tree in the same location as you'd put a real one. Some of the most common places people like to put their fake olive trees are Office space, Living room, Dining room, Study room, Master bedroom and Any place of your choice Final Thoughts This DIY fake olive tree hack is a simple, quick and affordable one that any homeowner can do. If you are in the mood to give your home a makeover and are looking for high-quality pots and artificial olive trees, look no further than the one-stop web shop of Designer Vertical Gardens.

Home Design Trends 2023: 12 Must-Have Ideas for a Stylish Home

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Jan 28, 2023
What's popular appeals to our sense of aesthetics and way of life. Trends usually refer to a steady shift towards a new way of living. Changes are constant in life. And in 2023, we can look forward to what’s new and exciting with every coming day. There's little doubt that the unknown design ideas that excite us will emerge in 2023. However practical they may be, the 2023 home decor ideas will please even the hardest aestheticians. There will be an interesting mix of new and returning trends in the upcoming year. Some of it will include the return of bold colours, natural stone surfaces, maximising natural light, and 60s and 70s home gardening influences — particularly in furniture design. Let’s have a look at some of such trending home decor ideas. Expect Art Deco The fashion industry enjoys returning to old favourites. Since the interiors are moving away from the absoluteness of minimalism, we're witnessing a renewed interest in more decorative styles like Art Deco. Although hyper-maximalism may not be on the cards just yet, intricate details are becoming more popular. Expect Art Deco’s bold colours, geometric patterns, and symmetry to replace earlier interior design trends. Use of Artificial Plants With the popularity of faux plants changing the home decor aesthetically, artificial plants and green walls are used to beautify the home space instantly. These life-like artificial plants and fake vertical gardens that look ultra-realistic can give a splendid touch to your vacant space. These long-lasting artificial vertical garden walls, together with portable artificial hedges and fake ivy rolls and panels, can green up your home garden space. Despite replicating nature, these UV-resistant indoor and outdoor fake plants, when placed in your artificial vertical garden, can truly transform the area. They even help create boundaries between two specific places in your home or office space. Workplace is Redefined Whether at home or in an office, the workplace has been redefined. Yes, now we see these spaces with highly individualised designs and more comfortable and stylish furniture layouts. The indoor turfs with sophisticated rugs to help anchor the furniture in a room and some artificial plants at the nook create a cosy, intimate space. This elite workspace gets a happy makeover to increase its use and employee productivity, especially if you work from home. Maximise Natural Lights The more we learn about what improves human well-being, the more we try to include those amenities in our home interior - where possible. Natural light is one aspect that is magnified in current and upcoming designs. With large, bare windows, whites, and shiny surfaces, there is a renewed emphasis on maximising natural light. And why not? Natural lights can improve our mood, concentration, and sleeping patterns and pours positive vibes into us. Moreover, it also helps us gain Vitamin D. Return to Noir As the rooms grow more distinctive and personalised, we often indulge in what is unique but represents our personality. Since Gothic designs are undeniably more dramatic, using them is tempting. Though these gothic styles are more intriguing and have multiple layers, they offer more than just dark hues. Sweeping drapes, arched mirrors, artwork, and opulent chandeliers are standard but can be both remarkable and quite livable when given a modern spin. Nostalgia Infused The coming year promises soft edges, dramatic accents, and comfortable pieces in every style, making your home decor even cosier. Interior wall designs can bring a sense of nostalgia. We saw a wave of coastal wash over our wall interior in 2022; we will yet see similar eye-pleasing soft wall colours. Pastoral pastels or bucolic artwork will add a poetic touch to the interiors. Say Yes to Curves Arcs and round shapes have been replacing the traditional square or rectangular interiors now. Tulip and egg chairs, circular rugs and crescent sofas gradually took centre stage. Now, in 2023, just say hello to such architectural details, oval mirrors, mushroom lightings and nightstands. Include cabinets and credenzas with a curvier outlook to stay in line with the latest home decor trends. Include Alcoves Niches and alcoves worked great for highlighting the artwork some years ago. These unique architectural features are regaining attention. Adding the visual interest of the home decor, these alcoves and niches are now widely used to display the corners of the space, helping create a zen nook. It just emphasises the furniture or the decor within. Opt for the Imperfections Organic, handmade, and local are the best when it comes to 2023 home decor trends. Raw yet refined quality is what the future holds. Exquisite craft with unique pieces will set your furniture apart. Experimenting with size, scale, and proportion can produce stunning results. In contrast to the traditional choice, oversized lights and bold-coloured laminates can grab anyone’s attention to a particular space. But the annual result of the decor must not go out of the way; they should gel well with the remaining settings. Tiered Monochrome Keeping the furniture and decor understated will also make memorable spaces. A monochromatic interior could have any one shade, and you can feature slightly different shades of the primary colour while textures and shapes create a visually interesting space. The tiered monochrome creates a calm and stable atmosphere. Go Sustainable Sustainable, recycled, and ethical are vital topics in all walks of life and the home decor trends of 2023. Every year, more homemakers and entrepreneurs are learning about sustainable practices and what to do regarding the planet's health. As a result, trendy interiors look different from those of the past. Unlike trends on their way out, these eco-friendly looks will stay fresh for many years. We will see an increased use of green materials and organic surfaces in upcoming projects, from residential to commercial. Moreover, giving more importance to sourcing and reusing materials will refine the shape of designs, and a natural and clean interior will precede the earlier intricate options. Positive Layout A layout can make all the difference in an interior. Free flow movement is essential for a positive atmosphere, and that’s why a positive layout is one of many interior design trends of 2023. Adding artefacts based on the principles of feng shui, wabi-sabi, ikigai, and japandi aesthetics will significantly impact interior design. In a nutshell, even though the decorating trends for 2023 are varied, they all can bring a sense of elegance, beauty and comfort to your home style in the coming year. It's one way to admire tomorrow's trends and also an approach to incorporate them sensibly. There is certainly balance in 2023 interior design trends as some lean toward decoration while others toward neat aesthetics. You may have to search places for furniture or other accessories to get that aesthetic touch to your home decor. But finding artificial plants from Designer Vertical Garden is rewarding with various options. As Australia’s leader in providing artificial greenery, we provide artificial plants and fake vertical gardens for your home and commercial places. You can order these faux plants online and deliver them fast and free at your doorstep Australia-wide.

8 Best Artificial Plants You Should Buy in 2023

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Jan 20, 2023
Who doesn’t like to see greenery around themselves? Whether it’s cafes, backyards, food or drink establishments, or homes, the effortless greenery of artificial plants have made their way to all kinds of properties and spaces. Artificial plants available online are a win-win for time-poor plant enthusiasts in concrete jungles. In the fast-paced modern times, it’s quite challenging to nurture and grow natural plants which is why the demand for fake plants in Australia is growing tremendously. Artificial plants are the easiest way to go about sprucing up your spaces. Here’s a list of the 8 best artificial plants that you should buy in 2023 to uplift your spaces. Money Plant Characterised by their green and shiny heart-shaped leaves that come in golden, yellow, or green colours, money plants are a popular choice among interior designers and architects. They got their name thanks to their leaves that resemble coins. Whether you want to hang the vines from your balconies or place them inside to beautify your interiors, money plants have an iconic design and texture that complement all kinds of decor. Purchasing artificial money plants online can help you create beautiful spaces with negligible maintenance. Rubber Plant Rubber plants are another ideal option of houseplants that can be used to fill up empty spaces in no time. Their shiny glossy leaves add instant appeal to your home. These plants are known for their beautiful foliage and the rich, waxy texture of their leaves. Another advantage of going ahead with rubber plants is that the leaves' rubbery texture makes it impossible to distinguish between natural and high-quality faux rubber plants. Snake Plant The snake plant's tall, slender leaves stand tall, making them an amazing addition to every space. Whether you wish to place them indoors, outdoors, or in the walkways, snake plants add some character to the space. Fake snake plants can look great in any corner of your home or office in Australia and are available in a wide range of colours and patterns. Citrus Tree If you wish to add some colours that will make your decor pop and bring your spaces to life, artificial citrus trees are the perfect choice for you. While most ornamental plants have a neutral, tonal colour palette, artificial citrus trees make a poppy, fun addition to your spaces. With lively colours like bright yellow and popping orange, artificial citrus trees offer a refreshing take compared to the other decorative plants. These beautiful, lush, and colourful faux citrus trees usually work best as a standalone decoration. Jade Plant Jade plants are often associated with fortune and good luck, which is why they are called ‘lucky plants’ or ‘the fortune plant’. They are the money plants of the succulent family. Jade plants look stunning and can be used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the dull corners of your home or office. Whether it’s your study area, the bedroom, the dining area or the living room, adding a Jade plant can bring your spaces to life. Their thick, richly coloured leaves can enhance the beauty of the nooks and corners of your home. Jade plants also make the perfect gift for weddings, housewarming parties and anniversaries. Lavender The colour purple and violet have been associated with royalty and wealth for centuries. If you wish to add a touch of sophistication to your spaces, lavender is the best choice for you. Lavender plants offer an unmissable purple presence to any room or garden, creating a soothing, elegant setting. The ultra-realistic tall and gorgeous purple blooms add a new dimension of vibrance, bringing your spaces to life. Furthermore, if you add just a few sprays of lavender oil, nobody can tell the difference between natural and artificial lavender plants sold by leading suppliers online. Peace Lily Peace Lillies offer a breathtaking contrast of the dark green foliage and the creamy white flowers held up high on their stiff stems. The flowers get their names due to the white raised spathe appearing as if someone has lifted a white flag in surrender, seeking peace. Also, what most people think of as the flower is actually a specialised leaf bract that grows hooded over innumerable flowers at the end of each stem. These lovely plants are one of the most classic houseplants as they illuminate the living spaces in moments. The pure white flowers of the artificial Peace Lillies make them an amazing addition to all kinds of spaces. Eucalyptus Eucalyptus is an evergreen gum tree renowned for its tall branches and symmetrical leaves. All thanks to their medicinal properties, fragrance and aesthetic appeal, Eucalyptus stems and leaves made their way into households decades ago. These versatile plants can be added to your spaces to bring nature indoors and add some warmth to your rooms. Whether you want to set it up in a vase or hang it off your balconies with artificial eucalyptus plants, you can do it all. The stems are easy to bend and shape to whatever arrangement you wish to make. Furthermore, you can also pair them up with other artificial flowers to create alluring arrangements.

What Are Artificial Vertical Gardens? Its Benefits, Cost & Steps to Install

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Dec 29, 2022
Faux vertical gardens are a popular design element in both residential and commercial spaces. People put them in their homes, businesses, and even public structures. But why are people so fascinated by these structures that go against the traditional way of gardening? Since people increasingly live in smaller areas, enlarged traditional gardens aren't always feasible. Artificial vertical gardens occupy less space than real ones since they don’t actually require pots (optional) and soil. Additionally, these fake vertical gardens are an excellent way to improve air quality, provide sound insulation and cooling effects, and add beauty to any setting. With the continuous growth of the green movement and the popularity of indoor plants, installing their substitute - artificial green walls are becoming extremely popular. Mainly designed with artificial plants and flowers, these faux vertical gardens are easy to maintain since they do not require weeding or watering, unlike living plants. Artificial plants can be fitted in both interior and exterior areas; hence they are widely used to decorate homes and offices. Let’s see how these fake gardens differ from the real ones and some more reasons behind installing them compared to the living garden and their design ideas here. The Difference Between a Living and a Fake Green Garden Although the environmental benefits of a real green garden are reducing the pollution from building interiors, they as a natural coolant for buildings. These long-lasting, more sustainable natural gardens provide a range of benefits for the workplace, environment, and local community. Plus, they also offer the benefits of good mental health for those that are working around or within them. Now, even if the living gardens are extremely advantageous, the cost of maintaining them is huge. The living plants must be replaced, watered, and constantly looked after; cleanliness must also be considered. So, the time taken to achieve a beautiful green garden is immense. Another downside to living gardens is that they need soil or other messy products to survive, where allergens are usually present. Their alternative, fake vertical gardens, are becoming much admired and sought-after nowadays. In contrast to the living garden, these fake plants are more cost-effective and neater with minimal upkeep. No need to wait for plants to flower or replace dying plants; all that is needed is occasional dusting. They may be designed with beautiful colours that offer serenity and peace of mind, just like the living gardens do. No wonder these easy-to-install artificial green gardens have been much favoured recently. Let’s have a quick glance at some of their other advantages also. Benefits of Artificial Vertical Garden 1. Low maintenance and cost Taking care of plants can be time-consuming, especially if you choose to grow plants from seed. It can take a long time to see a flower bloom. You must water, control the temperature, kill pests, and often have to sweep the fallen leaves every day during the season-turning time. But artificial vertical gardens won’t keep you waiting that long. Once installed, you don’t have to worry about watering or weeding; you only need to dust the artificial garden occasionally. You can easily wash them with a hose if you live in an open area. 2. Long-lasting Artificial plants can survive in various weather conditions and last for many years. They can stay showroom fresh for an extended period without fading if taken care of and well-maintained. But real plants naturally die after a while and can be prone to pests and diseases. However, it is essential to note that not all artificial plants are weather-proof; some of them are susceptible to extreme weather conditions such as rain, hail, frosts, wind etc. 3. Versatile Since the space needed to keep artificial vertical gardens is minimal and available in any shape or design, they can be kept anywhere in the house or office. You can also cut artificial plants or the faux vertical garden wall in any size you want and get them customised to fit in your desired space. Thereby creating the attractiveness you want with no time-consuming maintenance and cleanup. 4. Create A Calmer Space Studies reveal that simply looking at greenery can benefit your eyes and calm your mind. A green environment can encourage relaxation and reduce stress, positively impacting blood pressure and muscle tension. Thus, a lush artificial vertical garden wall can significantly benefit your mind. 5. Beautify Home Decor Artificial plant decor makes your home fascinating, creating an attractive ambience to your home. Placing tall potted plants on empty floors of corridors, entrance ways, lobbies, and the corners of living rooms can help form a good vibe to your home decor. 6. Noise Reduction The artificial vertical garden panels can be installed as a screen to create a private space. The research says that plastic artificial leaves can reduce the level of ambient noise in a space, giving you the peace required in the office. 7. Free of Allergies Artificial plants do not trigger allergies compared to natural plants and don't need pest control measures, creating a pollen-free relaxing ambience for pets and allergic patients. With such benefits, approaching Designer Vertical Garden is the ideal solution if you are based in Australia and want fake plants or to create an artificial wall for your home or commercial place. As Australia's leader in artificial greenery, we provide artificial plants and fake vertical gardens that look ultra-realistic. Now the question comes about its installation. How to Install a Vertical Garden? Setting up an artificial hedge panel or artificial garden wall can be simple and easy. But careful planning and measurement are necessary to avoid the frustration and over-spending of money. Be it timber, concrete, stone, metal, or wire fencing, the installation methods may differ depending on the wall surface you attach them to. Designer Vertical Garden’s artificial green walls are the perfect DIY project to install. You need to double-check and calculate the space area to be covered with an artificial green wall. Calculate the length and width of the wall and decide how many panels you would need. Most of Designer Vertical Garden’s panels are 1m x 1m, so it’s pretty easy to calculate; some panels are 90cm x 90cm. Let’s understand the steps needed to install the panel on various surfaces here: 1. For Timber/Plaster Wall Surface No special tools or fixings are required - a few items you might have at home or can easily be obtained from your local hardware store, like staple guns and staples for timber or plaster surface. Hold your garden panel against the wall/surface you are attaching to and align them directly with a staple gun or just by stapling them on either side of the grid backing. Repeat the process for attaching more panels. 2. For Concrete Surfaces or Walls You would need just a hammer drill, a hammer, nylon plugs and washers if needed. Drill about 5 mm deep in the surface, then line up a corner of the grid on the back of the panel with the hole in the wall using nylon plugs. Add plugs wherever necessary and then hammer the head of the plug until the nail cannot be seen, which will allow the panel to blend with the wall easily. 3. Cyclone or Vertical Bar Fencing Only cable ties are required to grid the panel around a vertical or horizontal bar of the fence. Push the cable tie around the grid of the panel and then pull it tight to ensure it remains perfectly in place and won’t flap around. It is the easiest way to hide that ugly fence or get more privacy. However, you can contact our experts at sales@designerverticalgardens.com.au for guidance if you have some trickier-sized areas to cover. How Much Does a Vertical Garden Wall Cost? From hanging plants to large-scale artificial trees, these clever space-savers are priced on the size or style and the quality you require. You need to plan for the initial budget, ongoing costs and your willingness to invest in a purpose-designed planting structure. The Size If you only want to cover a small part of the area, you would require fewer plants. If you consider the larger area, the more it will cost you to cover it with artificial green plants or faux vertical garden wall panels. Quality of Panels Higher-quality artificial garden panels will cost you more. If you're on a particularly strict budget, you might not find a long-lasting green garden for your walls or fence. Fake Plants and Flowers The cost of faux plants and flowers depends on the type of material used to prepare them. For example, silk plants cost more than ordinary plastic faux plants. How to Maintain the Artificial Vertical Garden? Maintaining artificial green gardens is reasonably cheap since they don't require weeding, watering, or fertilisers. This artificial greenery will not need sunlight, soil, fertiliser, or trimming; thus, regular care will be a thing of the past. Artificial green gardens are mainly composed of silk and plastic plants. If you have a fake plant or green wall of silk plants, be sure not to put liquids on them. However, you can use a duster or dry cloth to wipe them down. Plastic plants for the faux green wall are generally preferred mainly due to their durability and strength. You can use water or a showerhead to clean faux plastic plants. You can also use a non-abrasive window cleaner or multi-purpose spray to make these plants look more refreshing. Unique DIY Artificial Vertical Garden Design Ideas Whether you're hunting for decorating ideas for a dreamy backyard or budget-friendly small garden ideas for your home, it's time to start the decorating process. Some of these ideas are DIY-based - from potted hanging planters to engraved pots for small places or balconies. Upcycled Vertical Planters - You can reuse trash bins as planters to dress up a wall or fence; all it takes is rope or twine. DIY Vertical Plant Stand - Since this stand is outdoors, they help make an attractive nook in your space. Hanging Planters - Patterned hanging planters are sure to recreate the vibrant look of the vacant area. Wooden Pallets - Beauty lies in this pallet's simplicity; you can use the hanging cup holders as planters and arrange them in a fun pattern on a wooden mount. Asymmetrical Fence Garden - Use the same colour and size planters for your flowers and then nail them to your fence in an asymmetrical pattern; this will be an excellent option to create colour theme decor. Water Bottle Planters - Don't throw empty bottles or cartons away. Cut open the bottom to place your plant and paint faces on the bottle's front. Use the rope to dangle them anywhere in your indoor or outdoor space. Shoe Organiser Garden - Reuse your old shoe organiser as planters. Hang it on the fence or wall, and fill the compartments with soil or dirt to display ferns, vines and other forms of greenery. Succulent Shutters - Lean the shutters against the wall and fill the slots with mosses or succulents, a fantastic method to display your greenery. Raised Flower Beds - When you don't have room for a garden plot, a raised garden is a better option. Set your storage tools on the bottom and let your blooms soak up the sunlight on top. Stacked Recycled Tyres - Turn your old stacked tyres into colourful flower pots. Spray paint them in your preferred colour, use cardboard as your base to keep soil from spilling and plant your blooms inside. Stack them on top of each other for a layered look. Apart from all these ideas for your indoor and outdoor space, Designer Vertical Garden’s pots and planters are perfect for artificial or living plants. They are made from recyclable materials (plastics & concrete) and are durable and thus are preferred by gardeners and home decorators.

Decorate Your Space With the 10 Best Artificial Plants for 2023

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Dec 26, 2022
Adding greenery to your home, whether artificial or natural, can make your living room, kitchen, and other rooms come together and look beautiful. It gives a pleasant ambience and creates lasting impressions on guests as well. Regularly watering, soiling, fertilising and maintaining natural plants is tough in Australia’s fast life. Instead, opting for artificial plants is a wise choice. These natural-looking faux plants can help you decorate your home or office, depending on your desired type and theme. If you are in a dilemma about why and what types of artificial plants will suit your space in Australia, this article will guide you better. Why Should You Buy Artificial Plants? People no longer place plants only in their gardens now. Adding real greenery to the interiors of your home or workspace is in trend. It is one of the easiest ways to make a room feel more intimate and vibrant; therefore, plants have become essential in enhancing the décor. Nothing beats having green plants if you think you can care for actual plants and give them enough light at home. Despite people wanting live plants more than ever, if you don't have time to take care of them, choosing artificial plants is a perfect way to make your home look brighter. Factors to Keep in Mind Before Buying Artificial Plants There are many things to consider before buying artificial plants. Some of them are: How huge do you want your plants to be? A jungle monster or a modest one that stays in a bowl. What kind of style do you want? Should the plant's petals have realistic colours and patterns? Should the leaves be perfectly aligned? How to Choose Appropriate Artificial Plants The sky's the limit when choosing faux green plants. Since people make them, you can get them in any size you want. But it is essential to remember that small artificial plants can be dangerous for babies and pets if swallowed. At the same time, the vast artificial plants will need more space to look at. Decide whether you want a large one to fill a corner of your living room or a smaller one for a short window ledge to decorate. Most artificial plants come between 80 and 120 cm to brighten up the more significant corner. And they are available in small plastic containers, so you can decorate them with a giant ceramic or bricks jar that fits your space. If you want a relatively small plant for racks or window frames, tiny cacti or snake plants with a smaller size are good choices. Some preferred choices include fiddle leaf figs, lotus leaves, air plants, banana trees, snake plants, artificial olive trees, artificial palm trees, artificial flower baskets, and house plants. So, finding the suitable one is easy, and let’s look at their details. 12 Best Artificial Plants Of 2023 1. Artificial Fiddle Leaf Figs If you have a pet that likes to nibble on indoor plants, then buying artificial fiddle leaf figs is a great choice. Since the real ficus has calcium oxalate crystals in its nectar, it can cause discomfort in the pet’s mouth, throat, and digestive system, along with vomiting. The plant sap can also irritate the skin if it is not covered and can form scratches on the floors and furniture. So, going for an artificial tree can solve this problem. 2. Artificial Eucalyptus Potted Plant This artificial herb plant in a bowl is self-contained and easy to clean, making it an excellent addition to any bathroom. With a small diameter and lighter weight, this tiny plant won't feel massive and can be set on racks, larger window frames, or even hung from the shower rail. You can place the trail of leaves in any way you like. Since the leaves look like plant material, you could match your bathroom products to the plant to make it look even more real. 3. Artificial Snake Plant This tall artificial snake plant looks great on any side table or dining table, thanks to its simple coloured bowl. Its leaves stick out horizontally and are covered with a delicate and diverse herbal pattern. This particular attention to detail is a factor that makes this plant look so real. But it is essential to keep cleaning these leaves to make them look nice. 4. Artificial Monstera Known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, this giant artificial plant won’t disappoint you for a larger space like a balcony or any nook in your room. The leaves of these monsters tend to be a little shiny, unlike the real ones, making them stand out from the rest. This artificial monster will add a spicy green colour to any room; when the sun shines, making beautiful shadows. Available in different sizes, the roots of these plants are well-connected, so you can bend them into any shape you want. 5. Faux Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Stem An artificial silver dollar eucalyptus stem comes with round leaves that are silver-white grey/green. Carrying beauty on its own, this plant is a perfect filler for flower arrangements or to add more natural beauty to your home decor, especially for small spaces. 6. Faux Air Plants These artificial air plants look so good no one will know the difference. Even the "crystal-like" look of the leaves and the roots on the shaft make it hard to tell that these are artificial plants, not real ones. The greens, reds, and whites on the plants are shaded like their real-life peers. 7. Artificial Banana Tree Since the artificial banana tree looks like the real one, it would be difficult to distinguish between the original and the fake one. Considered an auspicious tree in Asian cultures, the faux banana tree will bring a sense of home environment to those Asians living in foreign lands. You can place it in your drawing room near the window - giving a positive vibe when the sun shines on its leaves from the window. 8. Artificial Hanging Flowers Baskets You can hang artificial flowers in baskets on the balcony of your house or near the stairs to enhance your space's beauty. You can easily buy artificial flowers from nearby markets or online. And you can design your basket or buy them from the market. 9. Artificial Bamboo Trees The giant artificial bamboo plant will make any room in your house look better and make an eye-catching showcase. Its leaves are usually made of a soft variety of eco-friendly and efficient fabrics. 10. Artificial Olive Trees An artificial olive tree will look just like a real one, giving your home or office a fresh, green look. Made of recyclable materials, this faux plant is perfect for filling empty spaces in your house with a slight style and moderate appearance. Are Artificial Plants Worth Buying? Even though real plants aren't too hard to maintain, they need care and love. There is no actual substitute for natural plants as they add natural beauty to your house décor and provide fresh oxygen and many more health benefits. But these plants also demand time, and if you lack sufficient time to look after them, your home decoration looks dull. While with artificial plants, you'll never have to wet them in water for the right amount of time, nor do you have to strike the right balance between getting enough and too much sun. Plus, they are easy and cheap to use—no wonder these fake plants will become increasingly popular in 2023. Designer Vertical Garden is at your service if you are looking for stunning fake green plants that replicate nature in Australia. As a leading artificial plant supplier in Australia, we offer indoor and outdoor artificial green walls, artificial hedges and plants that are long-lasting and life-like. Made with RealTex materials, our faux plants instantly create a space you'll love to look at.

How To Make a Faux Boxwood Ball?

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Dec 15, 2022
Are you having a hard time keeping plants alive indoors? Greenery helps rejuvenate spaces and keeps things fresh and lively. But at the same time, watering plants, keeping pests away, and taking care of them can be time-consuming. For time-poor plant enthusiasts, purchasing artificial greenery is one way to create hassle-free green environments. You can always get artificial boxwood hedges and balls if you don’t want to go overboard with artificial green walls. They make the perfect accessories as they complement every season’s decor. If you like the look of topiaries or artificial boxwood balls, here’s a DIY project for you. You can't go wrong with this! It's not only budget-friendly but will also last a long time since it is artificial greenery. Tools to Keep Handy Glue Gun Paint Brush Large Knife Scissors Wire Cutters Materials Required Styrofoam Balls Floral Foam Green Paint Artificial Boxwood Panels Sticks and Skewers Toothpick Dowel or Sturdy stick of appropriate size Pot/ Stand Instructions Step 1: Decide the size of the topiaries or faux boxwood ball Step 2: Heat the glue gun. Step 3: Cut the foam to the appropriate size and stick it inside the pot using the glue gun. Ideally, the foam should sit slightly lower in the pot. Step 4: If you can purchase green foam balls, that’s great. Or else, colour the styrofoam balls green with the paint. Step 5: Take the wire cutters and cut down small pieces of branches from the artificial boxwood. Ensure the branches are similar in length. Step 6: Use a toothpick or skewer to make holes in the spherical foam, as foam balls can be hard to get the greenery into. Step 7: Glue a piece of artificial greenery into the hole. Step 8: Repeat this process over and over until you have covered the entire sphere. Ensure the pieces of artificial greenery are close enough that the foam isn’t visible. Step 9: Stick the faux boxwood ball onto the pot or stand. Step 10: You can cover it with artificial green moss to make it appear more realistic and to cover up the floral foam near the base. Following these instructions, you can create multiple topiary balls and use your imagination to decorate your spaces. By making a hole through the balls, you can stack multiple balls of different sizes to create a beautiful topiary tree. If you don’t want to use a glue gun, you’ll need a good quality, sturdy styrofoam block to hold the stems. You can make the artificial topiary by pushing the stems deep into the styrofoam block. Using modelling clay, you can give a more realistic texture to the stem. Artificial topiary balls look aesthetically pleasing in pots and are an elegant and classic decorating scheme. You can use the faux boxwood ball as a centrepiece, group a few together on a sideboard, or place them along your entryways. Whether you want to rejuvenate your indoors or make a visually exciting statement in your outdoor garden, you can never go wrong with faux boxwood balls. Get your tools ready and give this do-it-yourself project a shot.

7 Simple Garden Fence Decorating Ideas

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Dec 13, 2022
Are you tired of your boring backyard fence? Want to give it a do-over? Fences create the first impression of your property while also defining its boundaries. Your fences define your home's atmosphere and your garden’s vibe. A dull fence tends to mess up the view, no matter how beautiful your lawn or garden looks. Decorating and making your garden fence attractive doesn’t necessarily have to take a massive toll on you, physically or financially. Your fence is a blank canvas for creativity. Here’s a list of simple decorating ideas to revitalise and invigorate your fence. Accent Your Fences with Greenery and Fairy Lights Due to their simplicity and the beautiful ambience they create, fairy lights have gained immense popularity over the years. Pairing them up with suitable artificial greenery can create an elegant ambience. If you want to create a more natural, charming environment for your backyard, this can instantly bring your garden to life. Faux Climbers to Add a Dash of Greenery to Your Fences Set up lattice panels and add artificial climbing plants to create a playful mixture of sunlight and greenery. If you don’t want to set up a framework or lattice, just hang or set up a few artificial vines to accentuate your fence with greenery. Complement Your Plants with Creative Paint and Artwork on the Fence Fences, if not maintained properly, can look quite bedraggled. Adding just a few licks of paint can bring your fences to life. Additionally, if you choose the right colour to complement your artificial garden, you can create a bespoke setup in your backyard. Add Hanging Artificial Planters and Create a Feature Wall If you are a plant enthusiast who wants to put a creative spin on your fence, using simple hanging planters is one of the best ways to go about it. Purchase hanging pots and artificial greenery to highlight your fence, creating your very own masterpiece. Or you can take an even cheaper and more artistic approach and upcycle tin cans, bottles, and other accessories to hang artificial shrubs and succulent plants. Make an Impact With an Artificial Backdrop Artificial backdrops help in creating picturesque fences. Setting up a premium artificial flower backdrop and adding accessories to it can breathe life into your bland fences. Get Artificial Boxwood Hedges to Add Class and Privacy Boxwood hedges, or topiary, are one of the most popular forms of artificial plants, and one can never go wrong with artificial boxwood hedges. Whether you want to highlight your fences or cover them up by lining them up with artificial topiaries or boxwood plants, artificial hedges add a luxurious touch to your backyard. Add a Focal Point Setting up creative artwork and an arrangement of small mirrors can also go a long way in grabbing people’s attention to your fences. With the right accessories and creative minds at your disposal, you can transform the dull, blank stretch of fencing into an impactful setting. Artificial green discs might be the perfect choice if you are looking for some greenery to take centre stage as your focal point. Strategically arranging multiple artificial green discs could help create an eye-grabbing wall feature. If you are bored with your fences, choose an idea from those mentioned above, prepare your tools, and get to work. Some of these decorating ideas are extremely easy to carry out and won’t burn a hole through your wallet.

How To Use Planter And Pots Around Your Home

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Sep 30, 2022
Decorate Your Home Using Different Types Of Pots And Planters There are no specific rules for decorating your home. Let your imagination run wild! We know that indoor potted plants placed at any corner can make the space come alive. The trickiest part is setting the plant comfortably in its planted container, whether pots or planters. With the people moving towards artificial plants, we require pots that go well for both live and artificial plants. Most of Australia's gardeners and home decorators prefer Designer Vertical Gardens to buy pots and planters for indoor or outdoor settings. Do you know the difference between pots and planters? What are pots and planters? Even though they are both used to set plants, there is a vast difference between them. Pots are small and round and can house only one plant, while planters are available in different shapes and sizes and can house more than one plant. The small pots are usually meant for indoor use, while planters are used outside. The pot or the planter you select decides the plant's growth. Though the growth depends on the soil health and how healthy the roots of the plants are, the size, use and pot placement also play an indispensable role. Points to remember for using indoor pots Your plants will remain healthy only if you know the pot type. Check out these tips when considering indoor pots: Choose a pot with a drainage hole to allow excess water to escape. The pot should not be too big; it should be just a size larger than the plant's root ball. Choosing lightweight pots for indoor use is better as they are easy to clean and work well, even if you forget to water plants on a particular day. Designer Vertical Gardens in Australia offers plant pots made from recyclable plastic and concrete, designed to ensure longevity and durability at an affordable rate. Is reusing the plant pots ideal? Reusing plant pots is environmentally friendly, saves money, and makes gardening easy. However, reusing pots can cause problems if you have not cleaned them properly. Importance of pot cleaning while reusing them Soil builds up salt, which gets deposited on the pots. This build-up will transfer any disease your old plant has carried to your new plant. Moreover, used pots have lingering bug eggs and disease spores, which can't be seen with the naked eye and can harm new plants. Thus, cleaning the reused pots is necessary to keep the new plant healthy and productive. To disinfect the pots: Scrub the pots with clean water. If the salt deposits don't come off quickly, try scraping them with an old butter knife. Soak clay and plastic pots in a solution with ten parts water and 1 part bleach; you can continue this soaking process from 10 minutes to 1 hour. This process will kill bug eggs and disease spores and help easily remove the salt. You can use vinegar instead of bleach. Make a habit of cleaning the pot soon after it is emptied to reduce the chances of disease being transferred from one pot to another. Rinse the pots well and dry them in the sunlight if possible. In addition, choosing the right pot size for your plant is essential, whether for an indoor or outdoor plant. The size and shape of the pot or planter, together with soil and watering, directly affect plant growth. You could get confused about choosing the right pot height and size. Designer Vertical Gardens is there to help you understand the basics of the pot needed for a particular plant. What is the proper pot size for artificial plants? For indoor and outdoor artificial plants, pots, planters, and other containers are often ignored. Your plant may be beautiful, but if you choose the wrong container, you might have something boring to look at or even too flashy. Most fake plants come in fixed pots, but at times, this fixed pot is too small to keep the plant standing upright; you might want to purchase a new pot for your artificial plant. When we talk about plant size, it does not mean just the plant, the diameter of the pot it is planted in is also included. Plant size = Grow pot diameter x Total height of the plant That is, The diameter of the grow pot at the top of the rim multiplied by the total height of the plant This means plant size includes the plant roots as well as the height or length of the plant. When we say 8/9cm pot, it means a nearly 9cm tall plant is growing in a pot with a width of 8cm diameter. You must choose a decorative pot with an opening about 1cm larger than the size of the plant's pot. However, for a smaller plant with approximately 12cm grow pot, you should pick a slightly smaller pot, and for a larger plant with about 25cm, you can add a 2-3cm larger one. It is important to note that if the shape of the planter tapers at the base, it means that the planter is wide enough for the plant to sit correctly at the bottom. In this case, you can add a layer of pebbles at the bottom to increase the base size, raising the plant height in the planter. Additionally, the pot size determines how much air and water your plant roots get. Soil dries slowly in a large pot that makes the plant root rot. If the plant is large compared to a pot, the plant will tip over. Thus, drainage holes in the pots will allow water to drain from the soil, enabling good airflow and the flushing of salts from the soil. With such specifications needed for faux green plant pots, Designer Garden Plants have perfect modern garden pots indoors or outdoors that will last for years. Our exclusive pots range includes engraved pots, planters, imitation stones and marbles and hanging plastic pots. They are made from entirely recyclable, highly durable and long-lasting materials and are available in various shapes and sizes. Engraved pots come in 14cm and 17cm, while we have planters of 25cm, 30cm, 47cm and 71cm size. Our 30cm hanging pots are designed for use with either artificial or living plants. Our online shopping is 100% secure; you can order these plastic pots online.

How To Clean Your Artificial Plant

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Sep 30, 2022
Multiple Ways to Clean Your Artificial Plants Though they need plenty of work, living plants add the missing element to any home or office. Natural or living plants need regular watering, the right amount of soil for their growth, proper sunlight and the right environment. However, this process seems rewarding but can tend to be exhausting. That is why people now choose artificial plants over real ones, not just to do away with regular maintenance but for the consistent visual benefit, they offer. Most people select artificial plants in Australia; for saving time and money while they enjoy natural colours in their surroundings. Going artificial has its benefits and drawbacks. It requires maintenance, and the dust accumulated on them may trigger allergies. Reasons for dust accumulation on fake plants The one disadvantage of fake plants is that they can not be thrown out and trimmed every few weeks. Even the most minimal effort can go a long way in maintaining the cleanliness of artificial plants. The materials used in artificial plants are synthetic and act as a magnet for dust particles. But there are simple ways to clean them; let’s see them in detail. How to clean fake plants With little care and attention, your fake plants and flowers will look fresh and lively in no time. We only need to take care of the following: 1. Materials used Before cleaning, we need to check the artificial green plant’s material. Most of these plants are made of polyester or nylon, meaning they can be dusted with a dry towel or duster. However, silk flowers look more natural than synthetic ones and don’t feel rough or plastic. These coloured silk plants must not be cleaned by spraying water, it may cause damage, instead, we can clean them with a damp cloth gently. 2. Stains A visible spot on the fake plant looks awful and feels disheartening, especially if it is an expensive plant you adore. These spots can be removed easily with white vinegar and water. Just spray a little bit of the white vinegar and water solution. Allow the solution to rest on plants for a few minutes, and then wipe the stains with a cloth using your hands. Another way is to dip a cloth into the solution. The acid in the vinegar can cut through grime and stains. Lemon juice can also be an option to wipe off stains. 3. Dust Dust accumulates on artificial plants, like books on shelves. You can dust them just like any other household item. But if the dust is settled well and for too long, it is easier to wipe each plant leaf with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. These microfiber cleaning cloths act as a magnet for dust particles. 4. Vacuum cleaner If your vacuum cleaner has an upholstery setting or a soft brush attachment, you can simply use it to pull the dust off your fake plants. All you need to see is that you don’t damage the plants using inappropriate tools and powerful suction settings. The vacuum cleaner works well to clean robust plants and trees, especially the main stem or trunk. However, you need to be careful while working with foliage. 5. Hair dryer Hair dryers are effective, but they work only for outside plants. That means when you clean up the plants using the hair dryer; the dust dislodged from the plant is blown outside. So, if you have carpet or wooden floors, you must mop or sweep them after cleaning your artificial plants. The hair dryer is an alternative for cleaning small plants. However, you need to keep moving the dryer to avoid the artificial plant material from overheating. 6. Brush Using an anti-static dusting brush or a simple paint brush can be helpful. Match the brush size with the plant and use a four-inch brush for large leaves and a miniature artist’s brush to get into nooks and crannies. However, you should handle tiny details of the plants with care while cleaning them. 7. Salt shake This goes well for silk flowers. Add half a cup of salt to the plastic bag; the bag should be large enough to fasten the flowers. Seal it after putting the artificial plant in it and shake it gently. The salt would act as a mild abrasive and displace the dirt. Remove the flowers and use a hairdryer to dislodge the remaining grains of salt. 8. Rinse off the plant with water Most outdoor artificial plants can be cleaned using water. But the same assumption is impossible for an indoor fake plant; few of them can be adversely affected. Even if the plants are waterproof, a few pots are not. You should wrap the pot carefully and then shower the plants gently. Immersing the plant in the bucket or sink is never a better thought; it can ruin silk plants and possibly the pots. Cleaning these artificial plants is not tough when you remember the above-mentioned suggestions. Designer Vertical Gardens is a leading life-like artificial and fake plant provider in Australia.

How To Make Fake Plants UV Resistant

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Sep 27, 2022
Make Your Artificial Plants UV-resistant and Maintain their Beauty Botanically correct artificial plants are one of the best ways to enjoy the luxury of greenery around us without any maintenance work. Premium faux plants can instantly enhance the aesthetic value of any space and deliver visual joy. However, the only downside of fake plants is the colour fading over a period when you keep them outside. To make your fake plants UV-resistant and protect them during the shiniest months, you only need to keep a few things in mind. If you are buying artificial plants for the outdoors, keep in mind that you should seek our fake plants with a genuine UV coating & built-in UV inhibitors, as it helps preserve the original look and feel of your artificial plants. If you buy faux plants without coating or have already purchased them, then there is nothing to worry about, as delaying their fading process is easy. It is important to be careful of artificial plant suppliers who claim plants are UV resistant, simply because they want your sale. To genuinely be UV resistant they must have at least a surface protection, but ideally inhibitors built in, such as our green walls, and UV plants. Things to Consider to Make Your Faux Plants UV-resistant and Prevent Fading: Cleaning the Dust: Regular maintenance is vital to preserving the beauty of your artificial plants. You should regularly clean the dust from leaves and stems using a feather duster. Dusting not only makes fake plants look flawless instantly but increases their life span in the long run. You can use a hair dryer or compressed air to clear the dust from hard-to-reach areas. Wiping: Periodically cleaning your artificial outdoor plants using a quality artificial plant cleaner is essential. Dust particles that are hard to be removed with mere dusting can be easily removed using an artificial plant cleaner. You can use the cleaner for stems, flowers and even corners of leaves. Invest in an eco-friendly and non-toxic artificial plant cleaner. UV Protection: UV protection spray is the most effective way to protect artificial plants outdoors that may not already have UV protection. For maximum protection, apply UV protection spray to all parts of the plant. You must ensure that you cover all parts of the plant while spraying, making your plants look visually pleasing for a long time. It’s essential to note that thoroughly dusting off the surface of your artificial plants is essential before applying the UV protection spray. It would help if you sprayed fake plants from top to bottom,, uniformly covering the plant. At Designer Vertical Gardens, we provide stunning artificial greenery made with RealTex materials for a life-like appearance. We have an updated collection of artificial plants, green walls, artificial trees, and more delivered at the best quality at the best price.

Guide To Selecting The Best Artificial Plants

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Sep 22, 2022
Many homeowners apply décor around their house, from small items such as flowers in handmade bowls to 50-foot palm trees outdoors. While natural plants and trees come with added costs and effort, artificial plants are an affordable and easy way to add some vibrance to every living space. They can brighten up a corner of your home, porch, or deck or further enhance your existing artificial plant wall. Is there a dull spot in your house or office that needs some greenery, but the area does not get any natural light? A fake plant will stay green and will not wilt or turn brown from lack of sunlight. With an artificial plant, no natural care restrictions exist, so you can create the aesthetic you want. Besides, the range of artificial plants available today is enormous, giving you a vast choice. What Are Artificial Plants? An artificial plant is a life-like replica of an actual plant. They are often used to decorate homes and offices and can be found in various shapes, sizes, and colours. Artificial plants are made from various materials, including silk, plastic, foam and latex. Types Of Artificial Plant Wall Panels: There are many different types of artificial plants available on the marketplace today. Choosing the best type of fake plant wall panels for your home or office space can be overwhelming. Here are some of the most popular types of artificial plants: Silk Plants: Silk plants are some of the most realistic-looking artificial plants available. They are made from a high-quality polyester material that mimics the look and feel of natural plants. Silk plants are a great option if you are looking for something that looks close to nature but doesn't require any maintenance. PVC Plants: PVC plants are made from a durable plastic material designed to withstand heavy use. These plants are perfect for areas with a lot of traffic, such as office lobbies or entryways, and PVC plants are also easy to clean and maintain. Foam Plants: Foam plants are another artificial plant that is very lightweight and easy to move around. Foam plants are made from a Styrofoam material and then covered with a soft fabric. These plants are an excellent option for temporary displays or areas where you need something easy to transport. How To Choose The Best Artificial Plants? Buying faux plants is to remain stress-free and keep maintenance costs near zero. You may have seen some artificial plants or artificial plant wall panels that may have a tacky or cheap appearance. So, while buying, you must be careful to avoid these and go for the ones that mimic the natural plants. Also, the secret to finding the best faux plant wall panel or an artificial plant is imperfection! Here are some things you need to look out for when choosing the best artificial plants or fake plant walls: Consider What You Are Looking For: Consider the type of artificial plant you need. From there, look at playing with colours, scale, and size when complementing these plants. Is it wise to add tall artificial trees to break up the space? Or maybe some fake flowering plants could lighten up all that green? Maybe you could consider our fake hanging plants or artificial plant wall panels. It is a perfect option to choose artificial greenery, identical copies of live plants. If you have decided to decorate your living, work, or event space, you should look at the stunning collection of artificial plant wall panels. The Shape, Size And Structure: When buying artificial plants or a fake plant wall panel, pay close attention to the plant's stems and leaves. The stems should remain their natural colour and form, which is the wrong choice if the stem is perfectly straight. Look for fake plants or artificial plant walls that mimic specific live plants. The artificial plant must have leaves of varying colours to mimic the old and new leaves to resemble a natural, live plant. Examine Your Space: Evaluate the space where you are looking to place the plant. Much like any other form of décor, artificial plants or fake plant walls can be life-enhancing. In contrast, some are more suited to spaces where they will be more subtle and discreet. Others command the attention of anyone entering the space. The type of artificial plant you require entirely depends on the space you plan to decorate. Go With The Season: It would be best if you changed the plants according to the season. If you want your artificial plants to look natural, you cannot have a spring plant during the winter season. Having unseasonal plants will make the artificial plants scream "fake". So, buy plants for different seasons and rotate them according to the seasons. Check The Quality Of The Artificial Plant: One of the most important factors to consider is the quality of the artificial plant. Creating an attractive artificial garden cannot serve a purpose if the plants are of low quality and will fall apart in a few months. So make sure you research to find a supplier committed to quality, such as Designer Vertical Gardens. Conclusion: When choosing the best designer artificial plants or faux plant wall panels for your home, office, or event, you must keep the above factors in mind. If you still have difficulty selecting the perfect artificial plants, you can consider getting some aid from experts who can help you select the best artificial plants for your home, office, or event!

They need no fertilisers, watering, or sunlight to maintain their beauty. However, there are a few things that you can do to make them look natural and more attractive. Here are a few tips for maintaining the timeless appeal of your faux plants: Know the details about your favourite natural plants: The more you know about your natural plants, the better you can determine the quality of the faux plants. If your favourite plant is a lily, you will know what to look for in an artificial lily plant. From the quality of stamens, pistils, leaves, and petals, you can tell whether the fake plant resembles nature perfectly or not. Invest in quality artificial plants: You should avoid buying poor imitations of natural plants and invest in carefully designed, gorgeous, and realistic faux flowers.

How To Protect Artificial Plants Outside

by Designer Vertical Gardens on Sep 09, 2022
Who doesn't love waking up to a beautiful garden? Flowers and green plants help create a lively indoor and outdoor environment. The eye-catching blooms, the serenity and the calmness of the greenery uplift our minds. While caring for flowers and plants in your backyard can be a therapeutic experience, some of us don't have the time to invest in gardening. Ultra-realistic artificial plants are the saviours of time-poor plant enthusiasts in Australia. Fake plants may not be nearly as demanding as real ones, but there are plenty of things you can do to ensure the longevity of your fake plants. In Australia's harsh weather, fake plants tend to fade, wither and crack over long periods. Your fake plants can create and maintain a captivating garden with proper care! Read on to find out more about how you can keep your plants safe from fading over time. Ensure You Purchase High-Quality UV-resistant Plants Here's something you should keep in mind when searching for your next artificial plants. Always ensure you purchase the highest quality artificial plants in the first place. Do the ground research; find trusted, ethical manufacturers who produce long-lasting, quality plants coated with UV-resistant materials. In the long-term, you will save a lot of money getting the right plants to start. When plants spend time out in the open, the ultraviolet rays from the sun that cause damage to our skin are also responsible for the fading of fabrics and plastics. Purchasing faux plants and flowers labelled "UV-protected" is the first step in ensuring your exquisite garden lasts for decades. Regularly Clean Your Plants Whether your faux plants are spending time indoors or outdoors, dust builds up on those lovely flower petals and leaves. Every few months, spend time cleaning the artificial plants with the right products to get the lustre back. Depending on the material of your artificial plant, you need to implement the proper cleaning techniques. For example, spraying water on delicate silk flowers may ruin the paint; you need to clean them gently with a damp cloth. You can also use a dry towel or duster to wipe off loose dust particles. Look after your lovely faux plants by purchasing an eco-friendly artificial plant cleanser that uses high-quality essential oils and natural cleaners. These products are specially formulated to be gentle on artificial plants and will not discolour or damage them. Use a UV-resistant Artificial Plant Spray Do you already own a few plants that aren't UV resistant? Don't worry. We've got a solution for you too. As we have already mentioned, exposure to sunlight can be highly damaging to artificial plants. Applying sunscreen to protect yourself from UV radiation is a no-brainer when you spend time at the beach, and UV-resistant plant sprays play the same role for fake plants. Use UV protection sprays every few months to boost the life of your artificial plants. Minimise Direct Exposure to Sunlight Where you place your plants is of utmost importance. Irrespective of precautions, sunlight may negatively affect your plants in the long run. While purchasing UV-resistant plants or using UV-resistant spray lengthens the life of your plants, they won't make your plants immune to sun damage. In addition to sunlight, winds and heavy rainfall can also damage the integrity of your plants. Hence, keeping your plants in areas with partial shade and protection from the weather is ideal. Rotate, Shuffle, Move One of the best things about artificial plants is that they are easy to move around. If a part of your plant is continuously exposed to sunlight, the colour of the plant will fade unevenly over time. If you rotate your plants, they will never have a one-sided fade. Just rotate it every few months, so all sides become equally dark and beautiful in colour. You can also shuffle them up or move the plants around, making them take turns withstanding the more dramatic weather conditions. This adds the benefit of creating new and refreshing combinations for your garden. Provide Proper Drainage for the Rainwater If you are keeping your plant outdoors and live in an area with heavy downpours, you need to consider how it will escape the pot. We strongly recommend using outdoor pots with drainage holes for the water to escape. While planting faux plants into the ground, placing some stones or sand into the ground beforehand can aid the drainage of water near the base of the plant. Artificial plants are a great way to bring life and greenery into any space. They come in many different shapes, sizes, and colours, so you're guaranteed to find one that suits your needs! They are the way to go if you want your garden to look fresh for years with minimal upkeep. Follow these steps to protect your artificial plants outside.
