Preserved plants are an excellent solution for adding greenery to any space, offering the beauty of real plants without the maintenance demands of living greenery. However, like all natural products, preserved plants require some upkeep to prevent issues such as mould and bleeding.
Why Do Preserved Greens Develop Mould?
While preserved plants retain the appearance of living greenery, they are still real plants that have been treated to last longer without requiring water. However, they remain susceptible to mould growth, particularly when exposed to moisture or high humidity. Since preserved green walls are made from natural materials, they can develop the same mould issues as live plants if environmental conditions are not ideal.
Mould thrives in areas with high moisture levels. If your preserved plants are placed in a humid or damp environment, mould may start to form on the leaves or behind the greenery. Understanding this potential issue allows you to take proactive measures to maintain the health of your preserved greenery and keep it looking fresh
What Causes Bleeding in Preserved Greens?
Another challenge that preserved greenery can face is bleeding, where natural pigments leach out of the preserved plants, staining surrounding surfaces. While the preservation process helps to lock in the plant’s colour and texture, some bleeding may still occur over time due to exposure to moisture or intense sunlight.
The pigments used to maintain the natural appearance of preserved green walls are not fully immune to environmental factors. When moisture accumulates or the plants are exposed to direct sunlight for long periods, pigment bleeding can occur. This issue may lead to discolouration of your preserved greenery, but with the right restoration practices, it can be prevented or minimised.
How Quarterly Restoration Helps Prevent Mould and Bleeding
To ensure the longevity of your preserved green walls and preserved plants, it is important to schedule quarterly restoration. Regular restoration can help detect issues like mould or bleeding before they become significant problems. During restoration, we inspect your preserved greens for any potential mould, clean the leaves, and remove any dust or debris that could affect their condition.
