Why choose this hanging disc
Most greenery lives at eye level or below. Hanging from the ceiling gives you a third dimension to work with — adding softness overhead, filling vertical space above counters, or creating a natural centrepiece that doesn't eat floor or wall area. The 80cm diameter is large enough to anchor a room without dominating it.
The matte black frame is the design detail that separates this piece from standard hanging plants. It reads as a deliberate design choice rather than fake-plant-from-Kmart, and suits modern, Scandi, and industrial interiors equally well.
Where it works
-
Above dining tables — replaces a pendant light with greenery for a statement centrepiece.
-
Entrance foyers and lobbies — first impression piece for hotels and boutiques.
-
Covered outdoor entertaining areas — pergolas, undercover patios, outdoor kitchens.
-
Retail window displays — vertical visual interest that shoppers notice from the street.
-
Event styling — weddings, corporate functions, launch parties.
Installation — 3 steps
- Choose a ceiling fixing point — use a rated hook for at least 15kg to allow safety margin.
- Attach the pre-fitted chain to the hook.
- Tease the draping ferns to final shape — they are supplied compressed for shipping.
Pairs well with
Hanging vs wall-mounted greenery — when to choose which
Hanging makes sense when wall space is scarce or already busy — above islands, in entry foyers, over dining tables. Wall-mounted works when you have a blank vertical surface that's asking for a focal point. This 80cm hanging disc is big enough to work as a standalone piece rather than needing a cluster — one is often enough for a room, though pairs also work above longer dining tables.

Frequently Asked Questions
How heavy is the 80cm hanging disc and what ceiling fixing do I need?
The disc weighs approximately 6–8kg depending on foliage density. Use a ceiling hook rated for 15kg minimum to maintain a safety margin. For concrete slabs use masonry anchors; for plasterboard find a ceiling joist or use a toggle bolt.
Can I hang this outdoors in full sun?
The disc is rated for indoor and covered outdoor use — pergolas, verandahs, undercover patios. Full-sun outdoor exposure over years is not covered under warranty. For full-sun vertical greenery, our 1m × 1m panels are the better specification.
How do I shape the draping ferns after unboxing?
Foliage ships compressed inside the frame. After hanging, tease the fronds downward and outward by hand — they hold shape once arranged. Allow 5–10 minutes for full shaping on first hang.
What does the matte black frame finish look like up close?
Powder-coated matte black on steel — it reads as a considered design piece rather than a cheap fake plant. Holds colour indoors indefinitely; covered outdoors the coating lasts well beyond the 12-month warranty under normal conditions.
Is there a bigger size available?
Yes — our hanging disc range extends up to 100cm and 120cm for spaces that need more scale. The 80cm is our most popular size as it suits standard room ceilings (2.4–2.7m) without overpowering the space.
What does the 12-month warranty cover?
Frame integrity, powder-coat finish, foliage retention, and chain fixing under normal indoor or covered outdoor use. Excludes damage from direct rain exposure and full-sun outdoor placement.
Do you ship from Melbourne with click-and-collect?
Yes. Free Australia-wide shipping with same-week Melbourne dispatch, and Melbourne click-and-collect for same-day pickup when stock is on hand. Large hanging pieces ship carefully packaged to protect foliage in transit.
What if the disc doesn't suit my space on arrival?
Contact our team through the contact page if the disc doesn't suit your space. Keep the original box and foliage-protection wrap to support the return process.
