As people's requirements for home decoration are getting higher and higher, people's demand for fake plants is also getting higher and higher. So how long is the lifespan of the fake plants you choose? What are the factors that affect its lifespan? How do you need to ensure that it survives longer in the future? Come and listen to my ideas, maybe you can make your artificial plants last longer.
Choice of Fake Plant Material
First of all, the quality of the product must largely determine its service life.
The materials of artificial plants include silk, plastic, polyester fiber, rubber, wood, etc. Silk and polyester fiber are the most durable materials. They are usually used on artificial flowers or artificial tree leaves. They are placed indoors and can be used for several years without any problem. They are the most durable, but their cost is also relatively the most expensive.
Plastic is generally used in artificial plants because it has stronger plasticity and is relatively cheap. It is a more suitable artificial plant material. However, it is easier to oxidize and fade than silk materials, which greatly reduces product life. Of course, in order to extend the life of artificial plants, production workers will add anti-UV materials, color-fixing materials, etc. to extend its life.
Environmental Factors
In addition to product quality, another important factor is environmental factors. The environment has a great impact on artificial plants, and compared to wind and rain, ultraviolet rays have a greater impact on artificial plants. Because the raw materials for artificial plants need to be dyed with pigments to obtain a sufficiently realistic color. For example, by comparing two identical artificial plants placed outdoors and indoors for two months, you will find that the one placed outdoors will be noticeably faded in color, and the product feels worse than the one indoors.
In addition, many artificial trees use real wood, rubber, or iron wire as accessories to achieve a realistic effect. After being exposed to wind and sun outdoors, they will undergo varying degrees of change, such as rust on the iron wire, cracking of the wood, and softening of the rubber. However, to solve this problem, in addition to extending the life of artificial plants by placing them indoors, manufacturers will also add UV-resistant materials to artificial plants to improve the lifespan of artificial plants.
You should also notice that the artificial trees placed on the table always have a longer lifespan than the artificial trees placed in the yard. Even if they remain unchanged for several years.
Post Maintenance
Of course, our daily maintenance will also affect the lifespan of artificial plants. Perhaps you won't take care of the artificial plant after buying it, but periodic proper maintenance is beneficial to its survival. For example, you can wipe the dust off regularly with a soft cloth, gently wiping it to keep it clean, so that the artificial plant looks like new.
Avoid touching fake plants often: in fact, artificial plants are also relatively fragile, especially those that have been used for a long time, if often handled, or touched, it will become fragile, and the leaves may fall off, so, touch her as little as possible every day, unless it is wiped.
Storage environment:fake plants prefer to be stored in a cool place to avoid light, occasionally can be placed in the sun, but try to avoid long-term exposure to the sun and humid environment storage, which is very harmful to artificial plants.
For example, if you regularly wipe the dust off the leaves of an artificial tree, basically placing it in the corner of the living room, the artificial tree will look like new even after several years of use, but on the contrary, if you keep it in the damp and dark place of the basement, it will accelerate oxidation and decay.
Finally, artificial plants are playing an increasingly important role in the decoration of our environment and our homes. They are environmentally friendly and easy to take care of. They have the appearance of real plants, but they are more durable than real plants.
Although it has so many points, but the flower is still raised by people, the longer its service life, the more beautiful it will be. I hope your artificial plants are better and better taken care of by you.
