Have you ever wondered how you can transform a space into a lush, green environment without the hassle of tending to real plants? Well now you can. Live the dream by using an artificial green wall! Whether you are looking for a style statement for your home, garden, or business premises, artificial vertical gardens create a stylish and peaceful environment. But what exactly are the benefits of artificial green walls? And how do they compare to living green walls? Let’s take a closer look.
1. Easy to Install
Creating a living green wall from scratch takes some careful planning, as well as building or landscaping to create the right environment for plants to thrive. You will need an irrigation system, which itself needs to be suitable for the substrate of the wall. With an artificial green wall, installation couldn’t be easier. Arriving as separate panels of foliage, they can be applied to any wall using a simple fixing system. Most green wall installations can be completed in less than a day, without the need for any specialist equipment or tools.
2. Instant Effect
Plants take time to grow, and with a living green wall, you may have to wait some time before your creation looks its best. How long it takes will depend on the plants you select, but in some cases it could be more than a year. With an artificial green wall, you get a lush backdrop to any space straight away. No waiting around for the foliage to take hold, just instant, beautiful faux greenery, making them ideal for those of us that want our green wall solutions to work straight away.
3. Low Maintenance
One of the best reasons to choose an artificial green wall is that the upkeep is minimal. With real plants, you may get some that do not grow as well as others, and you may have to spend time giving it optimal amounts of water and pruning to keep it looking good. In fact, most living walls require professional maintenance, which itself comes at a cost. In contrast, the only upkeep with an artificial wall is to wipe it now and then to keep it dust-free. Or, if you’ve chosen an outdoor green wall, a light hosing from time to time will do the job.
4. Does not Require Water
Living plants require regular water to keep them healthy, and over time this can add up to a significant amount of water used, as well as the amount you pay on your water bill. This is an especially important point to consider in areas that are prone to water shortages, such as California and Texas. Interior living walls especially require a lot of watering because they get no assistance from rainfall. With an artificial plant wall, you get the look without the ongoing expense, not to mention the water that is saved, benefitting the environment.
5. Aesthetics
One of the joys of artificial plants is that they always look healthy. Adding a wall of greenery brings beauty to any room or outdoor area, helping you to create a stunning aesthetic that makes a statement in any space. This is a stark contrast from living walls that not only take time to bed in, but very rarely look their best all year round. Seasonal differences can affect the look, as well as things like diseases and pests that can damage the plants, or even cause the green wall to fail.
6. Cost-Effective
Creating a living wall using live plants can be expensive. The sheer number of plants you will need, together with the costs of regular feeding, water and other maintenance to keep them looking good soon adds up. In comparison, artificial green walls will give you a consistent green screen without the ongoing costs. As long as you opt for a good quality wall that comes with a warranty for protection, the price you pay at the point of purchase should be the only costs incurred.
7. Recyclable
Vistafolia artificial green walls are designed to be fully recyclable, a very important natural benefit. This means you don’t have to worry about plastics ending up in landfills or the environmental impact of choosing our green walls. Many living wall substrates cannot be reused elsewhere, and so only have a limited lifespan, especially if they are not cared for properly.
