I don't know anything about artificial plants; can you help?

Yes. Greenscape's team is here to guide you through the process from start to finish.

From there, the Greenscape team can provide personalised recommendations to help you find the right solution for your needs and budget.

Do you offer wholesale or trade discounts?

Greenscape operates as a B2B business, so pricing is already structured as trade pricing. Contact the team directly to discuss your project and get a quote.

What is the difference between faux, preserved, and live plants?

Faux plants are high-quality artificial botanicals made to look realistic, requiring minimal maintenance and lasting indefinitely. Preserved plants are real plants treated with a special solution to maintain their natural appearance without watering or care. Live plants offer the highest visual authenticity but require regular watering, light, and ongoing maintenance. The right choice depends on your space, light conditions, and how much upkeep you want to take on. Greenscape specializes in artificial trees, plants, and florals, but can also source live plants or fresh cut florals when the design requires it.

Which type of plant works best in a space with no natural light?

Faux and preserved plants are both ideal for spaces with little or no natural light, as neither requires sunlight to maintain their appearance. Live plants generally need some level of natural or supplemental lighting to survive, making them a less practical choice for windowless or low-light environments such as interior lobbies, hallways, or basement-level spaces.

Do preserved plants need regular watering or special care?

No. Preserved plants have been treated with a plant-safe solution that halts the biological processes requiring water and nutrients, so they need no watering, fertilizing, or pruning. The only care they require is occasional light dusting to keep them looking their best.

What are the key differences in care requirements for real versus artificial plants?

Real plants require regular watering, appropriate light levels, occasional fertilizing, and pest management, along with periodic replacement as they age or if they decline. Artificial plants, whether faux or preserved, require none of these, making them a practical and cost-effective choice for commercial spaces where maintenance resources are limited.

How do I care for Greenscape's artificial and preserved plants?

Caring for Greenscape's artificial plants is straightforward. Dust them regularly using a soft cloth or gentle stream of air, and avoid placing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent fading over time. For outdoor products, occasional cleaning may be needed to remove debris. For preserved moss and plant walls, avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, and excess moisture, and clean gently with a soft brush or compressed air. Neither artificial nor preserved products require watering. Store all products clean and dry in a cool environment if not in use.

Can Greenscape's artificial plants be used outdoors?

Yes, many of Greenscape's products are available in UV and weather-resistant versions designed for outdoor use. These are crafted to withstand sunlight, rain, and wind without fading or deteriorating. Indoor products are not recommended for prolonged outdoor exposure, as they are not built to handle the same conditions. If you need greenery for an outdoor space, Greenscape recommends selecting from their dedicated outdoor range. Contact the team to confirm which products are suitable for your specific outdoor application.

What are the advantages of renting plants versus purchasing them?

Renting artificial and preserved plants is a flexible option for events, weddings, film and TV productions, seasonal displays, home staging, or temporary needs like blocking views during construction or renovations. Purchasing artificial or preserved plants is often the better long-term choice for commercial or residential interiors, allowing for greater design customization and consistent quality while often being the more cost-efficient and operationally simple option.

What are the environmental impacts of faux plants compared to preserved plants?

Faux plants are typically made from synthetic materials such as plastic or silk, which are not biodegradable and have a manufacturing footprint, though their long lifespan reduces the need for repeated replacement. Preserved plants use real plant material treated with non-toxic solutions, making them a more natural option with a lower long-term environmental impact. Both are more sustainable than frequently replacing live plants that die due to inadequate care conditions.

Each project is quoted individually based on its specific design and logistics. Contact Greenscape directly for a tailored quote for your event or display.

What is the minimum rental duration for greenery and decor rentals?

At Greenscape, rental durations are flexible and tailored to your specific project needs.

Long-term options are also available for extended projects such as home staging, marketing campaigns, or holiday and seasonal displays. Contact the team to discuss your specific timeline and requirements.

What happens if a rented plant gets damaged during a rental period?

All rental items must be returned in the same condition as when delivered or picked up, subject only to reasonable wear and tear. Clients are responsible for all damage, loss, or negligence occurring while items are in their possession, including cleaning, repairs, or water damage. Items damaged beyond repair, or that cannot reasonably be restored to their original condition, will be charged at full replacement value. Clients who transport rental items in their own vehicles are responsible for any damage that occurs during transport, and Greenscape reserves the right to assess vehicle suitability before releasing items.

What does Greenscape's plant design consultation include?

At Greenscape, the design consultation covers an assessment of your space and requirements, concept development, product recommendations, and project planning from start to finish.

Additional fees may apply for repeat or extended site visits on larger projects.
