FAQ About Preserved Plants/ moss
Are preserved Plants real?
Preserved greenery are real and are often used in décor, scientific research, and educational purposes. These plants can be preserved through different methods. Easygreen farmers use a method that will last permanently as the plant will never dissolve, but also more expensive, such as soaking in solutions that replace the plant's natural fluids with natural preservatives. The Preserved plants and moss will retain their colour, shape, and texture for long periods without decaying.
What is the lifespan of preserved greenery?
The lifespan of a preserved green wall depends on various factors, such as the plants used, the light, and the environment it is placed in.
The preserved moss last for more than a decade, keeping its natural colour and appearance without deterioration if not damaged by others.
And the foliage last several years; it depends on the type of plants some are more fragile than others.
How should I care for preserved plants?
Preserved plants are low maintenance, requiring no watering, light, or pruning. Their antistatic properties also help prevent dust accumulation, making them easy to maintain. However, over time, various factors, including, but not limited to, light exposure can affect their appearance. Fortunately, Easygreen offers services to refresh or replace your plants, ensuring your design stays stunning for years to come.
How to preserve plants?
The process of preserving greenery involves manually selecting plants from farms and then subjecting them to a preservation treatment. We use a preservation process involving water, food colouring, and glycerin to keep our plants looking fresh and beautiful. This process is entirely safe and natural. During the process, the water in the plants is replaced with glycerin and the chlorophyll is replaced with food colouring. Although the process takes time, it is definitely worth it for the stunning results.
Does preserved green wall change the acoustics in a space?
Our foliage walls enhance both aesthetic and acoustic qualities. The panels are carefully manufactured to absorb sound waves and reduce noise levels. The Reindeer moss has unique sound-absorbing properties. Our panels will improve the acoustic environment. Scientifically proven, reindeer moss panels are as efficient as traditional acoustic materials in their sound-absorbing capabilities.
What are the effects of the light on preserved?
Preserved plants react differently to light exposure. Preserved moss can lighten and lose its vibrant colours, while preserved ferns may retract, and preserved flowers can dry out and fade. It's best to avoid to much light for preserved plants. Additionally, they should be kept away from heat sources as they are sensitive to high temperatures. Maintenance and replacement should be considered for preserved plants. Easygreen offers services to ensure your wall remains stunning.

Where can preserved greenery be placed?
Any indoor space suits our preserved Green Walls and designs, including offices, conference rooms, public buildings, hospitals, and trade shows. It's important that the air humidity does not exceed 70% or is not constant. Preserved Plants are not suitable for outdoor use. Still, we propose another range more ideal for outdoor, such as using other natural plants or UV-resistant artificial plants for outdoor areas that are excessively bright or humid. In some cases, Easygreen Reindeer moss may be suitable for outdoor use.
Does preserved plants / green wall are expensive
The cost of preserved designs, including moss walls and preserved plants in general will varies depending on factors such as the size of the project, the plant types used, and the complexity of the design, manufacturing, and installation.
Preserved plants may have a higher initial cost than live plants due to the specialized preservation process and the use of premium materials to ensure long-lasting results. High-quality materials are essential for maintaining the natural look and durability of the design over time.
However, preserved plants offer long-term savings. Unlike live plants, they require no watering, fertilizing, or ongoing maintenance. Making them a cost-effective, low-maintenance, and enduring solution.
Do the preserved designs look exactly as they do in our picture ?
The preserved greenery may not appear identical to those in our photos since each design is hand-made, resulting in unique arrangements. Additionally, as 100% real and natural products, the preserved greenery can exhibit natural variations in colour and form. While we strive to provide the closest representations in our photos, slight differences may occur due to the inherent characteristics of the plants. However, we guarantee that we always prioritize delivering high-quality preserved plants that closely resemble the images provided.
Are preserved plants odorless or they have a naturel scent?
Preserved greenery have a natural scent, with flat moss being the strongest in terms of smell. During installation and for a few weeks afterwards, you may notice the natural aroma of the plants. We recommend placing a diffuser in the room but never spraying anything directly into the preserved greenery to mitigate odour. For more detailed information and tips, please refer to our blog. We strive to provide transparency and guidance to ensure your experience with our preserved plants is enjoyable.
