How To Care For Artificial Plants

Artificial Plants are a good way to bring some life and color to your home especially when you are worrying about your “gardening skills” because of lacking the green fingers to keep a houseplant alive. You are not alone. It is found that many people have killed several houseplants in their life. If you want to make it easy to care for plants, artificial plants with low maintenance are suitable for you.

The faux plants are mostly made of chemical products like PE materials. Remember to keep them away from ultra-high temperature and avoid placing them next to equipment with high heat generation. Do not put them outside under direct sunlight exposure so as to avoid the possibility of being discolored. Periodic maintenance is necessary to keep your artificial plants looking great all year round.

Add your artificial flowers, especially those in white or lighter color, to your dusting list and give them a weekly going-over to keep them clean and fresh. After cleaning, you can spray the perfume on the flowers as you like. Artificial greenery walls and trees also need to be regularly dusted. You can take a soft damp cloth or a feather duster, working from the top to the bottom of the plants. If the artificial green walls are fixed outside, you can simply wash them by using a garden hose. Please pay special attention to the care labels of the artificial trees. The UV coatings of these trees will degrade over time. As a result, you need to move the trees regularly to prevent color fading caused by UV affects. An additional suggestion is to protect the artificial plants from extreme weather conditions in order to prolong their life span. What’s more, don’t forget to remove debris. Some leaves, petals may fall off. Some faux stems may be damaged. Remember to pick up any trash to keep your artificial plants tidy.

Artificial plants don’t need to be watered or pruned. With a little care, you can maintain the beauty and atmosphere of artificial trees and leaves. Use them to decorate your space without spending a lot of time and efforts.
