Clutches for Less

Silk plants available today look so lifelike they look even better than their real counterparts. So for those who want to have manicured yards but have neither the time nor the skills to take care of real ones, they’re the best alternative. Here’s how to find good silk plants for your garden.

The silk plants manufactured from polyester silk blend is much more suited for outdoors than the ones made from Chinese silks because it is hardier!sturdier and easier to maintain. You can spray protective coatings that will make water bead up rather than getting it absorbed.

There are those that contain natural components like branches with artificial foliage. There are arrangements that have silk flowers, buds and leaves but also contain natural elements like dried baby’s breath.

These are things that you shouldn’t place in the exteriors because even though they add to the natural look of your garden, they do not react well to natural elements. They can absorb wetness, mold and begin to rot, and become very brittle if exposed to heat and sunlight. Silk bonsai trees are one such example. Dyed silk plants may stain the porch when it becomes wet.

Consider the shape of the leaf and hue when putting together your arrangements, as if they were real ferns instead of silk flowers, for example. Try to coordinate your silk plants with the season to make it appear real.

Even the best quality silk plants will only be good for about two years outdoors, so it’s essential to find the best quality at the lowest price, since you will replace them many times. But take care also not to get the cheapest ones because you may replace them more frequently and spend more. Look for moderately priced silk plants and apply waterproofing coating, rather than opting for those with built-in waterproofing coats which are more expensive.
