Indoor Vertical Gardens and Plant Walls

A 2023 study found 67% of homeowners abandon living walls within 18 months, often leading to mold remediation costing $1,200. Proponents cite a 20% improvement in indoor air quality, but critics argue dying plants become eyesores faster than any other trend here, with a typical replacement cycle of every 2-3 years compared to Concrete and Brutalist Home Elements' decades-long lifespan. The complexity makes these systems polarizing: a stunning Instagram feature for some, a costly headache for others.
