Artificial Plants

Types of artificial plants

Each type serves a different purpose. Enter each category to see models, dimensions, and price:

• Large artificial trees: olive, palm, ficus lyrata, eucalyptus, cherry, or magnolia, from 60 to 260 cm, with a basic planter included and easy assembly. A striking addition to hallways, living rooms, offices, and shops. Examples include the 240 cm olive tree, the 260 cm palm tree, and the eucalyptus, along with a guide to choosing artificial trees.
• Artificial hanging plants: ivy, ferns, jasmine, grapevines, tillandsia, or spanish moss for shelves, ledges, ceilings, and tall planters. Available in indoor and outdoor versions, and many with a fire-retardant finish. Starting at around €8.
• Artificial branches: monstera, fern, lavender, philodendron, aspidistra or eucalyptus, loose, ideal for creating your own arrangements, vases and centerpieces.
• Artificial moss: moss panels (lichen, flat, deluxe) from around €18, in 100 x 100 cm format and cut to size, for covering walls, vertical garden bases, terrariums, or as event props. Artificial moss for walls is one of our most popular products. Some varieties are fire-retardant.

Artificial plants for every space

• Indoors: Most are designed for indoor use. Without light or watering, they perform just as well in a windowless corner as next to a large window.
• Exterior: For terraces, patios, and facades, choose the models indicated for outdoor use, with sun protection treatment. Confirm this on the product sheet.
• Offices, shops and premises: here low maintenance and fireproof options (see below) are key, designed for public venues.
• Bathrooms and low-light areas: as they do not depend on natural light, they are the solution for interior bathrooms, hallways and basements where a live plant cannot survive.

How to choose realistic artificial plants

Between an artificial plant that looks real and one that sings, the difference lies in the details:

• Materials: The quality sheets are made of polyethylene (PE), which is more flexible and natural to the touch and to the eye than rigid plastic.
• A mix of tones: leaves with various greens, marked veins and some brownish tinge imitate the living plant much better than a flat green.
• Foliage density: the more leaves and the better distributed they are, the more lush and believable it looks, especially on trees and hanging plants.
• Size and height: measure the space before buying. A 240 cm tree requires a high ceiling; for a shelf, a 55 cm hanging shelf is more than enough.
• Base and planter: the trees include a basic planter; if you want a specific finish, transplant it into your own pot.
• Fireproof and outdoor: for a room, look for the fireproof finish; for outside, make sure the data sheet indicates outdoor use.

Fire-resistant artificial plants for premises

Many of our hanging and moss models have a fire-retardant, designed for decoration in public establishments and premises such as shops, restaurants, hotels, or beauty salons, where fire safety regulations require it. The fire-retardant hanging ivy, for example, is designed specifically for this use. Tell us the dimensions and the type of plant, and we'll confirm which fire-retardant models are suitable.

Large artificial plants and trees

If you're looking for large artificial plants, trees are the most striking option: olive and palm trees reach 240 and 260 cm, respectively, with ficus, eucalyptus, cherry, and magnolia trees at intermediate heights. They come with a basic planter—most are a single piece, while the taller ones are assembled with numbered branches—so they can be set up in minutes. They're ideal for hallways, shop windows, restaurants, and offices that want a touch of greenery without any upkeep. If you're unsure which model to choose, check out our guide to selecting artificial trees.

Maintenance and cleaning

They require virtually no maintenance, which is why they're so worth it. No watering, no light, no fertilizer, no repotting. To keep them looking their best, dust them occasionally with a feather duster, a dry cloth, or a gentle breeze; for dirtier leaves, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the pieces and using harsh chemicals. With just that, a quality artificial plant will look great for years.

Natural or artificial plants: why they're worth it

A live plant needs light, water, soil, and time, and even then, it doesn't always survive in dark interiors or in the hands of inexperienced gardeners. An artificial plant requires an initial investment, but from then on, there are zero costs and zero work, with guaranteed greenery all year round and in any corner. It also saves water and eliminates the need for fertilizers and treatments throughout its lifespan. For spaces that are difficult to maintain (offices, shops, vacation homes, bathrooms), it's usually the most practical option.

Price, formats and custom purchase

The price depends on the type and size. As a reference: moss starts at around €18 per sheet, hanging plants from around €8 , and large-format trees are more expensive depending on the species and height (for example, the 240 cm olive tree). The moss is supplied in 100 x 100 cm sheets and can be cut to your specifications to cover a wall or base.

Frequently asked questions about artificial plants

Which artificial plants look the most realistic?

Those that combine polyethylene leaves in various shades of green, prominent veins, and good foliage density. On trees and hanging plants, the lushness and mix of colors give a natural look. Look at real photos and, if possible, a close-up of the leaf.

Are artificial plants suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, those are the ones recommended. For terraces, patios, or facades, choose models marked as outdoor, with sun-resistant treatment. Confirm this on the product page before purchasing.

Can they withstand the sun without fading?

Models designed for outdoor use are treated to resist UV rays and fading. Indoor models are not designed for continuous direct sunlight. The product details indicate whether the model is for indoor or outdoor use.

Are there fire-resistant artificial plants?

Yes. We have hanging plants and moss with a fire-retardant finish, ideal for shops, restaurants, hotels, and other public spaces where fireproofing is required. Tell us the type of plant and its intended use, and we'll confirm the available models.

How do you clean artificial plants?

Dust with a feather duster, a dry cloth, or compressed air; for heavier dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the pieces and using harsh cleaners. They don't need anything else.

Do artificial plants need light or watering?

No. No watering, no light, no fertilizer. They thrive just as well in a windowless area as they do next to a window. That's their advantage over live plants.

Which artificial hanging plants are suitable for low-light indoors?

Any kind, because they don't depend on light. Artificial ivy, ferns, and grapevines look very natural on shelves and high ledges, even in bathrooms and hallways without natural light.

Do you have large artificial plants or trees?

Yes. Olive and palm trees up to 240-260 cm tall, plus ficus, eucalyptus, cherry, or magnolia trees at intermediate heights, with planters included. The perfect option to add presence to hallways, offices, and shops.

Can I buy custom-made moss or plants?

The moss is supplied in 100 x 100 cm sheets and can be cut to your specifications for walls, vertical garden bases, or as a decorative element. For specific projects, request a quote and we'll help you with quantities and combinations.

How much do artificial plants cost?

It depends on the type and size: moss plants start at around €18, hanging plants at around €8, and large trees increase in price depending on the species and height. The current price for each model is listed on its product page.

Are artificial plants suitable for decorating an office or a shop?

Yes, and they're incredibly practical: zero maintenance, green year-round, and fire-resistant options to meet building regulations. Trees for common areas and hanging plants or moss for counters and walls.

How long do artificial plants last?

A quality artificial plant lasts for many years, maintaining its color and shape, especially indoors. Outdoors, choosing a suitable model and protecting it from extreme sun and wind will extend its lifespan. They don't wilt or lose leaves like a live plant.

Can artificial and natural plants be combined?

Yes, it's very common. You can mix a large artificial tree (an olive tree or a palm tree) with small live plants, or use moss and artificial branches to fill in arrangements. The artificial plant provides stable volume, and the live plant adds detail.

What is the difference between artificial, preserved, and dried plants?

Artificial plants are synthetic (polyethylene), require no care, and last for years. Preserved plants are natural plants treated to last for a period of time without watering. Dried plants are natural plants that have been dried and are more fragile. At jardinvertical.es, we work with artificial plants, which require minimal maintenance.

Do artificial plants accumulate a lot of dust?

They collect dust over time, like any object, but they can be cleaned in seconds with a duster, a dry cloth, or compressed air. It's not a maintenance issue, just occasional cleaning.

Do you offer shipping and quotes for projects?

Yes. We ship throughout Spain (free shipping on orders over €150) and prepare custom quotes for hospitality, retail, or interior design projects, combining trees, hanging decorations, branches, and moss. Write to us or call +34 664 07 49 90.

Are artificial plants sustainable or ecological?

They don't need water, fertilizer, or chemical treatments, and a quality piece lasts for years, so they avoid the consumption and continuous disposal of plants that don't survive indoors. They aren't living beings, but in spaces where a real plant wouldn't last, they are the most energy-efficient alternative.

Are artificial plants used in professional projects?

Yes. Hotels, restaurants, offices, shops, and events use them because they require zero maintenance and offer fire-resistant options that meet building codes. We prepare customized quotes combining trees, hanging decorations, branches, and moss.
