Who does not love growing beautiful plants to make the home surroundings more vibrant? Plants are good not only for the environment but also for the well-being of the people. But the common problem people face nowadays is the need for sufficient space for extensive gardening. The indoor vertical garden is one of the best innovations to make the small open area look more appealing. Often referred to as living green walls, moss walls, and live walls, vertical gardens have been around for a long time. Growing plants vertically on a panel, either self-supporting or attached to a wall, is known as "vertical gardening." But natural plants demand regular watering, fertilising, pest control, sunlight and much more. Compared with natural plants, artificial vertical gardens demand less work and provide more benefits like low cost and maintenance. Thus, these realistic-looking fake vertical gardens have gained popularity amongst homeowners and interior designers in Australia. You can grow flowers or plants on a trellis, a tower of pots, or garden netting in a faux vertical garden. There are numerous options for setting up an artificial indoor vertical garden, from herbs and perennials to annuals. Let us learn some eye-catching indoor vertical garden ideas that are perfect for your small spaces. Succulent Frame Vertical Garden Select a wooden frame that fits well into the desired wall. Fill the frame with artificial succulent plants of different shapes, colours, and sizes. Since these fake succulent plants last long and need low maintenance, they are the best home decor item.

Indoor Ladder Garden An old ladder is an excellent solution for growing several indoor plants in a small area. Lean your old ladder against the wall and use it as tiered shelves for plants. On the ladder steps, you can build shelves with wood planks and set flower or plant pots on them. Tiered Hanging Pot This DIY tiered hanging pot can uniquely display your fake plants. You can use unwanted wooden pieces, rope, and flower pots. Begin by creating a square with a wood plank, then trace the lip of the pot on the wood and drill a hole along the traced area. Now, place the flower pots on these squares and bring the beauty of nature to your space. Lattice Vertical Garden A lattice can create magic if you have a large blank wall in the house. Take sturdy, lightweight planters that can hang from the trellis and place them around the lattice so that you can rearrange them whenever needed. Hooks are necessary to attach or remove them.

Small and Large Pots Set some small planters with life-like green plants like pothos, bushes, cactus, ferns, and many more to make a statement in your space. You can take things to the next level by placing large artificial plants and setting up good lighting, highlighting your home's dark corners. Bottled Vertical Garden Time to use old mineral water and soda bottles. Take old plastic bottles and make a rectangular cut on them using a utility knife. Fill these bottles with soil and the faux indoor vertical garden plant of your choice, then line them on balcony railings or a wall.

Tie the string to one nail and start wrapping in a pattern. When finished, insert the air plants into the string's web. Repeat the same process with other wooden boards. Finally, fasten each board to a blank wall. DIY Strawberry Tower When there is less space to create a garden, the strawberry tower is an ideal way to transform your home’s entrance.

Your Australian Guide To Green Walls, Vertical Gardens & Hedges. In this guide we explore commonly asked questions, and the basics when it comes to choosing your artificial plants. Given the wide range of sizes, colours, materials and qualities available it is important to understand the fundamentals before purchasing your next green walls.  What are vertical gardens? Artificial vertical gardens are made up of a series of fake plants mounted onto a backing material which can be either plastic or metal. The plants and leaves are then securely attached into a floral arrangement made for mounting onto a wall. They are typically modular and are hand assembled into a green wall panel.  What are fake hedges? Fake hedges are made using an internal frame which is the clad or lined with artificial foliage. Artificial hedge mats that come in modular forms are typically used to clad either a timber or metal box frame to replicate an artificial hedge using staples, cable ties or other fixing methods. The fake hedges can then be placed in planters or can be self standing.  How do you install fake hedges? Fake hedges are installed using a clip and lock system along the side each panel. 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? Fake hedges and hedge panels can be used outside, however, if you want to ensure longevity you should only use UV resistant panels. Many cheaper and more common products are not suitable for long-term use outside. Designer Vertical Gardens are UV resistant and suitable for outdoor use for many years.  What is an artificial green wall / vertical garden?

Join or connect the panels together 3. Starting in the top corner line the first panel up with the corner of the area 4. Screw, adhere or attach the corner of the green wall to the corner of the wall 5. Continue affixing the green wall at suitable intervals to ensure it is securely attached and will not fall or flap in the wind Where can I buy fake hedges? You can buy an artificial green wall from Designer Vertical Gardens online, or through their showroom in Moorabbin which offers a wide range of products from more cost-effective green walls to extremely dense and lush vertical gardens.  What are the best fake hedges and green walls? The best quality artificial green walls and hedges are dense (using more leaves per m2 than others), they are UV resistant and use real leaf technology ensuring the leaves look real, not cheap and plasticity. High quality green walls and hedges will use non-toxic plastics, and extra foliage.  Can I use fake plants outside? Fake plants can be used outside however, the life-span of the plants will vary greatly depending on the quality of the UV resistance. Non UV plants will typically fade within a few months if they are in direct sunlight. UV resistant plants may vary between 12 months and many years depending on the UV quality of the plant.
