FAQ Greenery Warehouse

I’m worried the plant will look "tacky" or plastic. How realistic are your products?

This is our top priority at Greenery Warehouse. We select "Real Touch" or semi-natural plants. Our foliage mimics real textures (veins, colour variations, natural imperfections) and our trunks are often made from real timber or hyper realistic moulds. Unless you get right up close and touch the leaves, it’s often impossible to tell the difference from the real thing.

 

Myplant arrived a bit squashed in the box. Is that normal?


Absolutely! To protect the foliage and keep shipping efficient, our plants are packed compactly. This is where the magic happens: the stems of Greenery Warehouse plants have an internal wire core. When you receive it, take a few minutes to spread out the branches and curve the leaves to your liking. This "styling" step is what gives the plant its full volume and natural look.

 

How to Pot & Style Your Artificial Plant?

Since your plant arrives unpotted, you have the creative freedom to choose the perfect container. Here are the best ways to secure your new greenery for a stable and realistic look.

Option 1: The Vase Method (Quick & Chic)

If you are using a vase with a narrow neck, you can simply place the stem inside.

  • Tip: If the vase is clear glass, add river stones or pebbles to the bottom to hold the stem in place and add a decorative touch.

Option 2: The Pot Method (Sturdy & Realistic)

For a standard planter or basket, you will need to create a stable base so the plant stands straight. Here are the three best fillers to use:

1. Floral Foam (The Lightweight Choice)

  • Cut blocks of dry floral foam to fit tightly inside your pot.
  • Push the stem of the plant firmly into the center of the foam.
  • Best for: Indoor areas where wind won’t knock the plant over.

2. Sand or Soil (The Heavy Duty Choice)

  • Fill your pot with sand, dirt, or dried potting mix.
  • Insert the plant stem deep into the mixture and pack it down tight.
  • Best for: Adding weight to the base, making it great for high-traffic areas or windy balconies.

3. Stones & Pebbles (The Modern Choice)

  • Fill the pot with large rocks or heavy pebbles.
  • Wedge the stem securely between the stones until it stands on its own.
  • Best for: Clear glass containers or minimal industrial styles.

The Finishing Touch

Once your plant is secured in its base (foam, soil, or stones), cover the surface to hide the mechanics! We recommend topping it off with:

  • White or polished pebbles (for a modern look).
  • Bark chips or mulch (for a natural look).
  • Preserved moss (for a lush, green finish).

 

Does the plant come with the pot shown in the photo?


No. The pots and styling accessories (like pebbles) shown in the images are for inspiration only. To ensure safe shipping and give you complete freedom to match your decor, our plants are delivered unpotted (without a base pot). We recommend securing the plant into your own decorative planter using floral foam, sand, or stones for stability.
