The Designer Vertical Gardens small plant range covers succulents, ferns, orchids, boxwood balls, mini topiary, small flowering pots, and tabletop tropical plants. Sizes run from compact 15cm to 20cm desktop pieces through to 50cm shelf-and-counter plants. Foliage is built with RealTex on an LDPE base for natural colour variation, texture, and density at the leaf level.
Some lines in the range carry UV ratings for outdoor placement on covered balconies, bathrooms with strong natural light, and protected entry zones. UV certification is listed on individual product pages where applicable. Commonly searched as fake small plants, faux desk plants, small artificial shrubs, or mini artificial plants.
Most small plants ship in a black plastic travel pot designed to slip inside a decorative outer pot. The decorative pot does the styling work. As a rule, the outer pot should be roughly 30% wider than the foliage spread of the plant. Smaller and the plant looks crammed. Larger and the pot starts to dominate the planting. Pre-potted decorator plants are an alternative for buyers who want a complete styled piece without choosing an outer pot. Browse pots and planters.
One small plant reads as an accent. Three or more grouped at varied heights read as a styled arrangement. The simplest grouping is a trio: one tall (a small palm or topiary at 40cm), one medium (a fern or flowering plant at 25cm), and one low (a succulent or small bowl at 15cm). Vary the pot colour or texture across the group rather than matching them, which keeps the grouping looking collected rather than purchased.

Yes. The terms fake small plants, faux plants, mini artificial plants, and small artificial shrubs describe the same product category. The range covers succulents, ferns, flowering pots, boxwood, topiary, and compact tropicals from 15cm to 50cm.
Compact desktop and shelf pieces run from 15cm to 50cm. Plants above 50cm sit in the broader artificial plant collection or the tree range. Most desktop styling uses pieces in the 20cm to 35cm range.
Some are UV-rated, some are not. UV-rated stock (typically boxwood balls, outdoor topiary, and certain succulents) is suitable for covered outdoor zones and partial sun. UV-rated lines are SGS-tested to 5,000 hours. Indoor-only lines (most decorator pots, indoor ferns, flowering tabletops) should not be placed in direct sun.
Most plants ship in a black plastic travel pot designed to sit inside a decorative outer pot. Some lines (the decorator and pre-styled options) ship in a finished pot ready for immediate display. The product page notes which format each line ships in.
As a rule, choose an outer pot roughly 30% wider than the foliage spread. A plant with a 20cm spread sits well in a 25cm to 27cm decorative pot. The pot's internal diameter also needs to accept the travel pot the plant ships in. For grouped arrangements, varying pot heights and finishes produces a more collected look than matching everything.
The foliage is RealTex on an LDPE base. RealTex produces natural colour variation, leaf-vein detail, and texture depth at the surface. LDPE is the structural material that holds the leaf shape. UV-rated lines include UVTEX inhibitors blended into the LDPE at manufacture, not sprayed on as a coating.
At desk and tabletop distance (within arm's reach), the realism reads on the second look rather than the first. Leaf-vein detail, colour variation between leaves, and texture at the petal level distinguish the range from low-grade plastic plants found in discount stores. The travel pot is the giveaway. A decorative outer pot resolves it completely.
Yes. The foliage is non-toxic and contains no pesticides, fertilisers, or live plant matter that pets may chew. There is no pollen, sap, or allergen profile. Smaller children should not be left unsupervised with desktop plants that contain wire stems or breakable decorative pots.
No watering, fertilising, pruning, or sunlight. Dust collects on top-facing leaves and inside flowering blooms. A soft dry cloth or a quick puff of compressed air clears it every few months. For deeper cleaning, use artificial plant cleaner spray and wipe with a soft cloth.
Yes. The range is specified by office fitouts, hotels, restaurants, retail stores, clinics, salons, and aged-care facilities across Australia. Trade and reseller accounts are available on application.
Standard small plants are not fire-rated. Fire-rated stock is available on custom order for public buildings, hospitality venues, aged-care facilities, and other settings where AS/NZS 1530.3:1999 + Group 1 classification is required - check product details before ordering. See the fire-rated range or contact the team to discuss specification.
All small plants carry a 12-month warranty. UV-rated outdoor stock is also backed by the SGS 5,000-hour UV certification, which is the independent measure of UV performance well beyond the warranty term.
Delivery is calculated at checkout based on order size and shipping address. Small plants ship in standard satchels. Larger grouped orders may use a freight option. Full delivery information is on the FAQ & Delivery page.
