If you’ve installed an artificial plant wall recently or want to learn more about their maintenance, before you purchase one – read up on what you need to clean or maintain for your new plastic plant wall. After all, the more love and care you give your fake green wall, the longer it lasts.
The beauty of having an artificial plant wall over a living wall is that its low maintenance. In fact, it’s so close to not needing any help, that we often refer to the range as zero maintenance. Your artificial flower wall will not need sunlight, soil, fertiliser or even trimming. Regular care will be a thing of the past. Of course, you can always add a living feature to your plastic green wall, which may mean this change your routine. The option is yours to make and depends on what you need or prefer.
There are two main types of materials when it comes to an artificial green wall. There are silk and plastic plants.
For silk plants, you are not advised to get them wet as this will damage them. So if you have a fake plant or green wall of this variety, be sure not to put liquids on them. You can, however, use a duster or dry cloth to wipe them down.
As for plastic plants, this type of green wall material we prefer here at Designer Plants for its strength and durability. You can use water to clean plastic faux plants. We provide further detail on this later in the post.
