Green living walls are now a popular way to add style, comfort, and nature to homes and businesses. But if you're considering one, you’ve probably asked yourself: Should I get a fake green wall or a real living wall?
At EcoPatchWalls, we only install real living walls and living frames because nature shouldn’t be faked. Here’s why it matters.
What’s the Difference Between Fake and Real Living Green Walls?
Fake green walls (also called artificial green walls) are made from plastic plants attached to panels. Real living walls are vertical gardens made with soil or hydroponic systems that support real, living plants.

Feature | Fake Green Wall | Real Living Wall (EcoPatchWalls) |
Plants | Plastic or silk | 100% real, living plants |
Maintenance | Low | Low with automatic systems |
Air purification | None | Yes – natural air cleaning |
Environmental impact | Plastic waste | Eco-friendly & sustainable |
Look and feel | Flat, repetitive | Vibrant, organic, ever-changing |
Value added | Decorative only | Improves wellness and property |
Why Real Living Green Walls Are Better
They Clean the Air
Real plants naturally remove toxins and produce oxygen — creating a healthier environment indoors or outside.
They Look and Feel Alive
Every plant grows and changes, giving your space a living personality. It’s calming, refreshing, and truly natural.
They Support Sustainability
Unlike plastic walls, real green walls reduce your carbon footprint and avoid synthetic materials.
They Can Be Custom Designed
Every EcoPatch living wall is tailored to your light, space, and style not mass-produced from a mold.
