When you plan to buy an artificial plant to decorate your home, you need to be prepared accordingly. For example, you need to tidy it up in advance, not to tidy it up, but to stretch its branches to make it look like it has traces of growth, which will also make it look very real.
You can put a few fake leaves in the flowerpot, or even real leaves, which also increases the realism of the fake plant. In addition, it is also a good choice to put real soil or real grass in the plant's flowerpot for decoration, which will give people a very real feeling, because the mixture of real and fake will not make people feel that it is a fake plant.
After that, you need to pay attention to the maintenance of your artificial plant so that it will get better and better.
Modify it to make it more real
After buying fake trees, fake flowers, and fake lawns, they are basically in the same shape. So we need to adjust their shapes, such as bending the flower heads, spreading the branches a little, and trimming the leaves. In fact, these seemingly simple operations can make your plants more realistic. Because real plants are never perfect, such as leaves with a missing corner, bent branches, imperfections are the most real things.
Keep decorating it
In simple terms, we can change the artificial flowers into nice vases. For example, when Christmas comes, we can change the vases with Christmas atmosphere, and when Halloween comes, we can change the vases with Halloween style, etc. We can hang light strips on the trees, or hang some small greeting cards. We can put flowers on the artificial grass wall, put turtle leaves, etc., put real moss in small pots, put small stones, etc. After decoration, artificial plants will be more vivid and more like real plants. Of course, after our care, their lifespan will be longer and longer.
Place them in the right place
Although fake plants have a longer lifespan than real plants, they can easily break down if not properly cared for. Most fake plants are made of plastic, so they are afraid of moisture and exposure to the sun, which will accelerate the aging of plastic. So we try to place fake trees in places with soft sunlight, and not in dark places, which will clearly tell everyone that they are fake plants. If it is a plant placed in the garden, try to put it all plastic, not cloth leaves or PU. If it is windy and rainy, it will also cause great damage to the fake plants.
Wipe dust regularly
This is the most important part of artificial plant care. It is simple and easy to be overlooked. Plants that have not been taken care of will look lifeless and lack vitality.
First of all, we know that artificial plants do not need watering or fertilizing, but they need to be cleaned. As a display, if it is not cleaned for a long time, it will be covered with dust and look dirty and unsightly. This requires us to wipe and clean it every two weeks or other fixed time so that it can always look brand new. The tools we may use here include small brushes, rags, spray bottles, etc. Cleaning is very simple. We need to sweep away large particles of dust with a small brush first. After cleaning them all, wipe them with a rag. For stubborn stains, you need to spray water on the rag to wipe the leaves and trunks, but do not rinse with a lot of water, which will damage the plastic product glue. After completing the above steps, you will harvest a brand new artificial plant. Of course, other artificial flowers, flower walls, grass walls, potted plants, flower baskets, grass balls, etc. can be cleaned with the above methods.
Summary
Although the lifespan of artificial plants is 3-5 years, if you take good care of them, they may last for 10 years, but if you don't take care of them, they may lose their vitality in 1 year. Everything will become beautiful as long as we take good care of it. I hope you can also have your favorite artificial plants to decorate your beautiful home.
