How to install your artificial green wall

STEP 1. Prepare your space

Let’s make sure your workspace is safe to install – we’ve got this! Before starting the green wall installation, evaluate the site conditions, including sunlight, wind, and structural support, to ensure optimal success and sustainability. It's also important to consider the maintenance required for your green wall, as different plant types and designs may need varying levels of care. Remove any unnecessary items from the floor and ensure the ground is a level surface if you’re using a step ladder. Have the box of panels nearby and ready to use, along with all the tools you need.

If you are installing a living wall, planning for the ongoing care of growing plants is essential for long-term success.

STEP 2. Secure your first panel

Screw in your first panel, ensuring the greenery on the panel is facing upwards. TIP: If you're installing this on your own, drill a screw halfway into the wall and hook the panel on, then screw in the top of the panel.

STEP 3. Secure your top row of panels

Going from left to right, screw each panel in at the top corners. Before installation, consider the weight of the panels and ensure the wall or surface can support it. For even foliage, ensure the second panel is between 1cm and 3cm from the first panels fixing hole for seamless greenery coverage. Too close together will bunch the foliage creating a line, too far apart and the wall will be visible. Note: each box of green wall panels has a slight variation in greenery placement for a seamless look.

STEP 4. Secure your second row of panels

Clip on the first panel of the second row to the first panel of the first row, then screw in the panels. Note: Clipping on the panel before screwing ensures there are no buckles or folds in the panels. Continue this process ensuring your panels are level. Towards the end of this process, you may need to cut the panels to fit. All panels are part of a modular system, meaning each panel is made up of smaller panels for easier modification and allowing for flexible, customizable installation. Cut along the lines using a sharp pair of scissors.

STEP 5. Unfurl your Green Wall

Ruffle the foliage to help the greenery decompress from its packaging. Over the next few days, the foliage will relax and look more full. Add your style pack/extra stems as desired. For added visual appeal and variety, consider incorporating flowers and ferns—flowers bring vibrant color and interest, while ferns are ideal for shaded or architectural sections of your green wall. If your green wall is outdoors in an area with extreme weather or high foot traffic space, consider using cable ties to secure the stems. To view our additional stem options visit shop online
