Create A Botanical Waterfall: Plants That Flow And Fall

One of the most common times to start planning garden redesigns and developments is during the winter; we spend time standing at our back doors or kitchen window looking out into the bleak garden and dreaming of a well-designed, fresh and energetic landscape. 

It is hard to believe the hot summer evenings will come back, but we promise they will, and when they do, you will want a garden you can enjoy, and what better way to get prepared than by organising artificial plants ready. 

One of the best designs you can create in your garden using artificial plants is a botanical waterfall; you can have something incredibly unique and captivating when you install flowing artificial plants around a gently falling waterfall. Have we sold the dream yet? 

If you decide you are ready to start preparing for the summer, stock up over winter so you have everything ready to go, then why browse our collection of artificial plants? Our team here at Evergreen have been working tirelessly to offer you the highest quality artificial plants on the market; speak to our team for more! 

The Allure Of Botanical Waterfalls

Nature offers a level of symphony that nearly all of us can appreciate, effortlessly providing us with calm serenity that cannot be mimicked. Pairing artificial plants and natural plants with water can create something truly unique; when these things marry together, it is a combination that can create a peaceful and relaxing environment. 

Botanical waterfalls offer an allure unlike any other; you can have them designed to be the focal point of your garden and just something tucked away in the corner to enjoy at your leisure. But one thing we do know is that artificial plants and waterfalls go hand in hand; you can create exactly what you want without being concerned about plants dying or overgrowing. 

The main allure of botanical waterfalls is that you can design them however you want, something that suits your needs as well as the aesthetic you are aiming to achieve in your garden. 

The Concept Of ‘Flowing And Falling’ Plants 

The reason we call it flowing and falling plants is that this is precisely what the plants represent, the flow and fall of running water; when paired with an actual waterfall, this is simply what happens, but it also refers to the vision trailing plants give, exceptionally long arms that fall down the side of rocks and walls. 

Much like waterfalls, plants do have the ability to tumble gracefully; one of the best examples of this is a string of pearls; the arms can twist and turn as well as tumble down the side of your waterfall, mimicking the flow of water. 

Whether draped over a balcony, spilling out of hanging planters, or adorning the edges of water features, their delicate tendrils and trailing branches create a sense of movement and dynamism. This concept captures a harmony between plant and environment, evoking images of lush jungles and serene gardens, where nature is both in motion and at peace.

The Fundamentals Of Designing A Botanical Waterfall 

Designing a botanical waterfall requires harmonising nature’s elements, ensuring aesthetic appeal and ecological balance. The first step is location selection, considering factors such as sunlight exposure, natural slope, and accessibility. 

A spot with partial sunlight is ideal, as excessive sunlight can promote algae growth, while too little might inhibit plant health. Water circulation is the next crucial aspect; a continuous flow ensures the water remains fresh and oxygenated, avoiding stagnancy, which can be a haven for pests. The heart of the botanical waterfall is, of course, the plant selection. 

Opting for plants that thrive in moist conditions and exhibit the ‘flowing and falling’ growth pattern will enhance the waterfall’s naturalistic feel. Materials used, such as stones, pebbles, and pumps, should be of high quality to ensure longevity. 

Finally, consider the maintenance aspects like water filtration, plant pruning, and periodic cleaning to keep the setup thriving and visually stunning. As you embark on this journey, always remember the magic lies in the details – making your botanical waterfall not just a water feature but a living piece of art.

Enhancing Ambiance With Falling Plants

Falling plants, with their cascading tendrils and trailing leaves, are nature’s exquisite drapery. Their ability to spill over edges, whether from a pot, ledge, or waterfall, adds depth, dimension, and dynamism to any setting. 

The gentle sway of a spider plant’s offspring or the vibrant spill of a golden pothos can transform a simple garden feature into an enchanting focal point. Integrating falling plants into design elements, especially around water features, elevates the ambience, creating an environment that’s both serene and alive. 

Their unique growth patterns invite onlookers to pause, appreciate, and get lost in their botanical ballet, making them indispensable for those aiming to craft spaces with a blend of elegance and vitality.
