Moss Walls & Green Walls: What’s the Difference?

Green walls and moss walls make perfect additions to any space, making the room seemingly come to life with new energy. Now you just have to figure out if you want a moss wall or a green wall. What’s the difference? Green walls use live plants that require regular maintenance like watering and pruning. Moss walls, on the other hand, use preserved moss (aka was once alive) and only needs minimal maintenance. Both kinds of walls are a unique way to create a welcoming space. 

Why Should You Get a Moss Wall?

Moss walls can include a variety of moss such as reindeer moss and pillow moss. A preserved moss wall is great if you are looking for a custom piece—the moss can be dyed in many colors to help bring your vision to life. We can design moss wall panels if you pick the colors and any additional elements you want on it (like replica succulents, ferns, flowers, etc). We can create large moss wall art to fit your style of art; it can look natural or use bright blues, reds, shades of green. Aside from all the colorful moss, there’s also multiple types of moss you can choose from: reindeer moss, sheet moss, pole moss, pillow moss. Moss walls are much more customizable than green walls, perfect for someone who wants something original and artistic. 

Why should You Get a Green Wall?

Green walls are great if you are looking to have living plants. Green walls can use a hydroponics system to water living plants but can also be manually watered. Green walls can also be fixed to a wall or can be freestanding and mobile if you prefer having that option. This kind of wall  will require regular maintenance, but our plant techs are fully trained to keep your green wall looking as beautiful as the day you got it!

While both are beautiful and provide the benefits of biophilia to your tenants, the wall for you depends on your goal.
