Artificial Ivy and Stems

Garlands are stocked at 160cm, 190cm, 200cm and 260cm. The 160cm ivy garland is interconnectable, so lengths join end to end for a continuous run along a beam or rail. The 260cm pothos vines are supplied as a five pack, which gives 13 metres of vine from one order.

Yes, and fake vine, ivy garland and trailing greenery all describe the same product. Designer Plants uses artificial throughout. The one thing to check regardless of wording is whether the leaves are moulded individually or stamped in a sheet, because a stamped fake ivy garland shows a flat repeated leaf every few centimetres and that repeat is obvious once the run passes about two metres.

This page carries ivy and cut stems together in one place, weighted heavily towards hanging bushes, garlands and trailing vines. Artificial ivy rolls, garlands and bushes is the deeper ivy-only range and includes roll formats for covering a fence face. Stems and ferns holds the upright cut stems for vases and planter filling.

The UV-rated pieces can, including the 190cm two-tone ivy garland, the 200cm English ivy garland and the 105cm hanging pothos. These carry UVTex inhibitors bonded within the leaf rather than sprayed on the surface. Items without a UV marking, such as some of the shorter draping tradescantia pieces, are made for covered or indoor positions.

Most bushes in this range are 78cm to 120cm and are built with a gathered top that drops into a pot, a basket or a wall planter. The two floating half-moon metal wall planters stocked here, at 35cm and 45cm, are sized to take a single bush each. A bush can also sit directly on a shelf edge with the foliage pulled forward over the lip.

They are 55cm pieces that pull out to cover a longer drop from a single hanging point, stocked as bright green ivy, bracken fern, flowering cedar, pepperberry, eucalyptus and a wreath form. They suit a narrow vertical gap beside a window or a column where a full garland would be too heavy. Each covers more length than its packed size suggests, so measure the drop before ordering by piece count.

Yes, though only a handful. The single stems here are a 26cm flowering holly stem at $10.00, a 43cm nearly natural native tea tree stem at $9.95 and a 60cm monstera split leaf philodendron stem at $27.95. For a full choice of upright cut stems and ferns, stems and ferns is the range to work from.

Indoor garlands collect dust along the upper leaf surfaces, since the foliage sits still rather than moving in wind the way a real vine does. A soft brush or a cool hose two or three times a year is enough. There is no watering, feeding or pruning, and the length set on the day of installation stays the same length.
