Silk Plants and You
Is your family room or den screaming for a bit of colour or a make-over but your budget is tight or lacking? Sometimes a little green can be an uplifting alternative. Along with colourful flowers and showy looking greenery, silk plants can provide a lovely new visual treat at a very low cost compared to other choices such as renovation, painting or the addition of new furniture pieces. Placement next to a window to capture daylight or by using spot lighting to provide a riot of colours and dramatic looks will call for rave reviews. Trailing vines and exotic trees together with ground covering silk plants can bring an awesome tropical attraction.
As any gardener knows real plants can be a pain and a constant source of labor. They require constant watering, are in many cases sensitive to adverse changes in temperature. Real plants only bloom for limited amounts of time then just when you think you have those challenges under control along come the pests. Many of them just as at home in your indoor plants as they would be outside. Have I talked about fertilizer and frequent re-potting as their root systems expand. Well you must have to be committed to plants to continue with all that labor. And if it’s your office you’re changing is that really your purpose in being there? Don’t listen to a friend who tells you that real plants will not be that expensive? A good size “real” tree will often cost in the thousands of dollars. Thousands of dollars that you’ll be out of pocket if transporting it or if other factors kill it. This is one of many reasons so many offices and residential homes have moved to redecorate with silk plants.
Whether you’re thinking you would like to redecorate your home or office it is worth it to shop for silk plants. With little maintenance other than the occasional dusting and an amazing variety of bewilderingly beautiful colours, shapes, sizes and designs it is easy to magnify the beauty of any room. Whether it is for your residential room or a high end office environment silk plants can produce a striking vista capable of impressing the most over-indulged of tastes.
