If you’re interested in a greener aesthetic for your interiors and exteriors, then Artificial Plants have a lot to offer. Thanks to advances in design and finish it is often difficult to distinguish between an artificial plant and the real thing today. As a result, there is no compromise when it comes to appearance and feels and this provides many more options where greenery and plants are concerned. If you’re looking to bring the advantages of plants to your surroundings then there are five key benefits to the artificial option.

1. A MORE COST EFFECTIVE APPROACH

Real plants inevitably come with a larger cost attached. Some may be cheaper to buy up front but will require ongoing tending to that always comes with a price tag. Real plants die and need to be replaced and may require increasingly bigger pots as they grow. Plus, a real plant may arrive as a seedling that takes years to reach its full height to have the impact that you want. Artificial Trees arrive fully mature with only the up front cost to pay.

2. CONSIDERABLY REDUCED MAINTENANCE

As well as the ongoing tending that real plants require – pruning, watering, fertilisers etc – the plant may also need to be moved to ensure adequate sunlight, water or draining. Changes in temperature could be problematic and you may periodically need a specialist to come in and tend to your plants. Artificial Grasses are very different – you have a low quality product then you may have to move them occasionally to stop fade but other than that it’s really only necessary to wipe the leaves down occasionally if they start to gather dust.

3. GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT

If you don’t have the right environment or space for the plants that you’re looking for then you may find your options severely restricted with real greenery. Tropical blooms, for example, may need sunlight or a humid atmosphere that you just can’t provide. This isn’t the case with artificial plants – you can create exactly the aesthetic you want with no limitations. Plus, the range of Artificial Vines is so broad today that you’ll have a huge amount of choice when it comes to your options.

4. ENJOY WELLBEING BENEFITS

Real plants do often provide filtration when it comes to the air that we breathe and artificial plants won’t do that. However, research has found that in terms of wellbeing benefits such as improving mood and morale, as well as productivity and focus, Artificial Leaf Vines really work.

5. AVOIDING ISSUES WITH ALLERGIES

Real plants can be the source of a lot of issues for humans sharing the same space. For example, they can trigger allergies and may even be responsible for poisoning if they are touched or consumed by children or pets. Artificial Hanging Plants don’t come with any of these problems and there’s no need to worry about pollen, which is the source of allergies for 12+ million people in the UK alone.

There are some obvious benefits to opting for artificial plants. From variety to cost effectiveness they win every time.

Gone are the days when live plants were the norm. Today, artificial plants are making their way into indoor and outdoor spaces. Homeowners can opt for plastic or silk plants that are designed, shaped and painted to look and feel like the real thing. If you are looking for durable, low-maintenance plants, then faux trees and flowers are the best choices. They have many benefits compared to natural plants, and some of the advantages are listed below.

6. Low Maintenance

Artificial plants (Including artificial outdoor plants) require no sunlight, watering, pruning, and addition of fertilizers, thus you can have beutiful plants without the need for lots of maintenance. You can dust them every 3 to 4 months and they last for many years. The faux plants that Pacific Silkscapes provides are extremely easy to maintain and look after. While real plants need regular sunlight to grow in a healthy manner, Artificial Bonsai do not require regular exposure to sunlight. No need for fertilizer, pesticides, or herbicides. You won’t have root rot or growth problems. There is no need for soil. You won’t require interior sunlight or temperature control. They do not shed their leaves seasonally. No more worrying about water and chemical damage to your carpet.

7. Security

If your building is a bank or government facility, you don’t need to have someone coming to the water and maintain the plants. In addition, with Covid-19, there’s less exposure to outsiders spreading the virus.

8. No seasonal changes

Live plants seasonally shed their flowers and leaves and change their appearance. Artificial Potted Cactus are not affected by changes in seasons. Do they always stay great looking, even with very little care.

9. Bring the outdoors inside

High quality realistic artificial plants and trees add “life” to a room. They have a calming effect and studies have shown that they improve productivity in the workplace.

10. Rearrange with Ease

Since artificial plants don’t grow or require water, that also means they don’t have to be planted in natural soil. Additionally, they won’t be “shocked” by being relocated, unlike live plants. Often, Indoor Artificial Trees are supported by materials like foam, making them more lightweight and easy to rearrange. All you need to do is pick the artificial plant up along with its supporting base and choose a new location.

11. Large selection

It doesn’t matter what your plant preferences are, Pacific Silkscapes has a wide range of landscaping products for you to choose from.

12. Cost-Effective and you get a return on investment
