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.

HOW TO MAINTAIN A GREEN WALL OR VERTICAL GARDEN

by David Eden on May 10, 2021

Vertical garden walls are becoming a trend now as interior designers and homeowners continue to use them in many creative ways. Maintaining a vertical garden is easier than that maintaining a traditional garden plot, but still it is not fully maintenance-free. We all know that one of the most significant advantages of vertical gardening is that it makes maintaining a healthy and productive garden much simpler. Worried about how to maintain a vertical garden? Down the hatch! Designer Vertical Gardens got your back. Let's dive straight into the pro tips from our experts. WATERING The same simple watering rules apply if your vertical garden is growing in the field, on the patio, or a wall. Always water at the base because it will prevent fungus and mildew growth. Watering your vertical garden less often, with deeper waterings is better than watering it a little bit every day. To avoid overwatering, make sure all of your vertical planters and hanging pots have drainage holes. Mulching your garden has many advantages, one of which is water retention. Mulch acts as an insulator, preventing moisture from evaporating in hot weather. Using irrigation systems for your garden is the best option when it comes to watering. TRAINING AND TYING Many types of vining plants don't need any support for climbing up but some need to be trained or tied to grow vertically. You can gently weave vines into the trellis if the plants have tendrils or twining stems. Or you might bind them to the system before they grasp it on their own. If required, the links can be cut once the vines have clasped the trellis and reused on new growth higher up on the support. Plants with long, pliable branches would need to remain tied to the support to stay in place. Gently press the stem against the support and tie it on with twine, garden twist ties, or flexible plant ties to train these types of plants. In both cases make sure to tie them loosely. WEED CONTROL Weed control is one of the biggest problems that gardeners face and it can become overwhelming, consider the following tips to prevent it. The easiest way to keep weeds out of your vertical garden is to cover it with a thick layer of mulch. Lay a thick layer of cardboard or newspaper over the soil and wet it down before adding on the mulch for added protection. Proper irrigation can also control weed growth, so always water at the base of each plant. FERTILIZING Fertilizing is an important aspect of maintaining a vertical garden. Many types of plants can do their best if they are fed regularly during the growing season. This is crucial for the vertical gardens growing in pots and hanging containers. Following are the tips for the fertilization of any type of vertical garden. Avoid using chemical fertilizers because they can cause severe damage to the health of the soil. Always make use of organic fertilizers because they are a rich source of nutrients for your plants. DISEASE CONTROL Many disease issues start with soil but in the case of vertical gardens, these issues are minimal but to avoid them completely, follow the tips below. Pruning is one of the most effective ways to keep disease and fungus under control. Mulching the base of your vertical garden plants prevents soil from splashing up on the leaves. This reduces the risk of soil-borne diseases - causing infection to the plants. Plants should be watered in the morning so that the leaves can dry out throughout the day. This will aid in the slowing down of disease spread. Always burn the diseased plants properly to destroy the disease pathogens. Never reuse potting soil in your vertical gardens instead always use fresh soil. PEST CONTROL Bugs can be a more difficult aspect of vertical garden maintenance. Here are a few suggestions for dealing with them. Use physical methods of removing them i.e. handpicking, using row covers, or a strong spray of water from the garden hose to knock the pests off the plants. Attract beneficial bugs like wasps and spiders, they are useful predators that prey on pest insects in your garden. Avoid using chemical pesticides as they are toxic to the environment, instead use organic pesticides like neem oil and diatomaceous earth. Always target the pest insect. Avoid using the broad application. PRUNING AND PINCHING Pruning and pinching regularly help to keep plants safe and control their size. Here are a few pointers to get you started. Deadhead the flowers as it encourages the growth of new ones. Prune regularly as it improves air circulation and prevents diseases. Pinch the plants regularly to maintain their shape. Make sure that you remove the dead or diseased leaves regularly. Always make sure that you sterilize your pruners before using them. WINTERIZING There are a few things to consider if any of your vertical gardens are expanding in portable containers Always store your portable structures inside in the winters. Shift the containers into the garage or shed if you're growing perennial plants in either of your portable vertical gardens. To secure the pot, clean out your vertical planters in the fall. SO CONSIDERING ABOVE THE MAINTENANCE OF REAL VERTICAL GARDEN, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE REASONS WHY FAKE VERTICAL GARDENS ARE BETTER? Let's consider the reasons why a fake vertical garden is better than the real one. The fake vertical garden doesn't require maintenance like watering, fertilizing, and pest control.

Studies have shown that greenery in the workplace promotes positive effects not just for the employees but for the business as well. Here are some tips on how and where you can use ‘GREENERY’ to improve efficiency in your workplace: AESHTETIC LOOK A sterile environment with cabinets, plain walls and documents everywhere are dull. Nobody wants to work in a place like that. Adding Greenery really improves the overall look of the surroundings. TIP: Biophilic designs are now being applied by many artists and interior designers. They integrate natural elements in every design by adding window vines or wall covering in a particular section of the office that will provide fresh and energizing looks. In Melbourne, many companies are having an artificial green wall in their reception area to look more welcoming and retaining office talent. You can also make wonders by replacing the modern chairs in the community area with furniture made of wood. BEING PRIVATE Dull cemented office space is boring and tends to reduce the efficiency of employees. Providing a creative space where employees are comfortable to get their privacy is very important especially if they need to focus on a rigorous project. TIP: Install a fake hedge wall in meeting area/s or hedge fence panels in the canteen –this will serve an ergonomic division in the desired area. Blurring the boundaries between work and play to make the employees feel relaxed & encourage workplace flexibility. CREATIVITY A study has shown that looking at nature shifts our brain to a different status and makes employees feel calmer, creative and be able to concentrate on their duties. Not all plants fit your work environment. The particular circumstances of your area, such as natural daylight and how it will be maintained, should be kept in mind. TIP: In Sydney, vertical garden design is on the trend. It is used in large meeting places to create an outdoor atmosphere that makes it calmer. You can use artificial plants if the maintenance of real plants is difficult. Artificial plants, such as fake ivy walls are sustainable and can be added to the office aesthetics to make them look soothing to the eye. Also, you can mix both real and artificial plants according to the office design. To conclude, adding green space at work has so many advantages. Plants can reduce stress, make you happier, increase productivity, improve the look of an office, improve the quality of the air and provide comfort. Choose your favorite plants and see how they make a difference while you're working!

Once clipped together you can install the fake hedge onto a vertical surface or frame using screws, hooks or staples. The panels will typically come as 1m x 1m panels, however, may also come in other various sizes? Can fake hedges be used outdoors?
