Plant preservation process

Greenmood uses innovative preservation techniques to transform natural plants into long-lasting biofilmic design elements that require no light, water, or maintenance.

From freeze-dried to naturally stabilized

Preservation techniques first appeared in the 1970s with freeze-drying: flowers were frozen and then sublimation dried in a vacuum to extend their life without damaging their form.

Over time, more effective methods of replacing plant sap with natural glycerin have been developed, allowing for the efficient preservation of more types of plants.

The perfect solution for interior design

Today, Greenmood's preservation process maintains the color, form, and flexibility of plants for years. This allows designers to incorporate elements of nature even in spaces where live plants are difficult to grow.

From moss walls to acoustic installations, preserved plants provide the tranquility of nature without the constraints of maintenance.

Preserving plants is a way to bring nature into your everyday indoor space.

Different ways to stabilize plants

Preservation methods vary depending on the type of plant, but the goal is to maintain texture, color, and flexibility without the need for soil, water, and light.

Alternative Absorption Methods in Leafy Plants

Plants with stems and leaves are immersed in a mixture of glycerin and water. As the sap naturally evaporates, the preservative is absorbed into the plant over one to three weeks.

This process takes place while maintaining the right temperature, humidity, and glycerin concentration for each plant species.

How moss and lichens rehydrate

Mosses are first dried and then sprayed with a warm glycerin solution, while lichens are soaked in salt water and then dried.

Rehydrated plants are slowly dried in a space with constant temperature and humidity to maintain their softness and shape.

Every plant has a customized conservation approach to preserve its unique natural beauty.

Where the colour comes from

순록이끼(Cladonia rangiferina) is a lichen rather than a moss, and its colour is applied during that same saline stage. The lichen is tumbled in a rotating drum and fully immersed in a bath of salted water, natural pigments and food-grade colouring, so the colour is taken up through the fibre rather than sprayed onto the surface. The colorants are 100% natural and non-toxic.
Because the pigment sits within the fibre rather than on top of it, deeply saturated tones can rub off slightly. Keep panels away from pale fabrics and light-coloured surfaces when handling and installing them.

Every plant type has a tailored method to preserve its natural beauty.

Plants preserved in vegetable glycerin

Greenmood uses vegetable glycerin, which is also used in cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and more, to naturally stabilize plants.

Safe and sustainable ingredients

Vegetable glycerin is biodegradable, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic. It is obtained during soap production, primarily from rapeseed oil, and is highly valued for its water retention and stabilizing abilities.

Thanks to this property, the plants remain tender and vibrant for a long time.

Pure preservation without additives

For foliage and branches, our preservation solution is pure vegetable glycerin and water, with no artificial chemicals or coatings. Mosses and lichens follow the rehydration route instead, using salted water with natural pigments and food-grade colouring.

This ensures that the product is eco-friendly, safe, and visually natural.

Glycerin is a key ingredient that helps preserved plants maintain their naturally soft, fresh texture.

Glycerin is what keeps preserved plants naturally fresh and soft to the touch.

Benefits of preserved plants

Preserved plants provide the beauty of nature without the hassle of watering, pruning, and replacing.

Long-lasting, maintenance-free solutions

Preserved plants retain their shape, texture, and flexibility for up to seven years and are ideal for indoor environments without the need for water, sunlight, or care.

They stay vibrant for a long time with low maintenance costs.

Unbridled creativity for designers

Because preserved plants require no maintenance, they can be used in areas that are difficult for live plants - green walls, sound-absorbing panels, furniture inlays, low-light vertical gardens, and more.

This flexibility allows for bold and innovative interior designs without compromising durability.

Preserved plants allow design and nature to harmonize in complete freedom.

Preserved plants allow design to meet nature with complete freedom.

Are preserved plants eco-friendly?

Preserved plants are more efficient, sustainable, and durable than live flowers.

High utilization, low discard rate

While live plants lose up to 801 TP3T before installation, preserved plants are processed locally shortly after harvest and more than 801 TP3T is utilized.

No need for temperature-controlled packaging or constant replacement.

Zero resource usage after installation

Once installed, they require zero water, fertilizer, or maintenance. They last for years, reducing consumption and minimizing environmental impact.

This makes preserved plants the smartest choice for green projects with a sustainable vision.

Preserved plants open up new avenues for sustainable design in harmony with nature.
