Surprising Advantages Of Artificial Plants And Foliage

By Felecia Pollard

We all know how plants can have such an impact of homes and offices. Of course they look great, but they can also have strong psychological affects.

Scientific studies have found that live plants in offices have helped contribute to a reduction of sick leave and an increase in productivity. These are facts that cannot be disputed, and have contributed to the increase in the popularity of live plants in offices around the world. Few offices these days are not fitted with plants.

Amazingly, many of these beneficial effects are not exclusive to living plants. It has been found that high quality artificial foliage can also create similar effects. Green plants whether living or real, are both capable of creating beneficial psychological affects.

The days when silk plants and flowers were clearly artificial has long departed. This is because up-to-date printing techniques enable the creation of authentic reproductions that are difficult to tell apart from the originals. Silk trees these days generally also include real wooden stems and bark.

The realm of artificial plants and flowers has now moved into the arena of high-tech design. Markings and imperfections found the in the original living specimens can now be faithfully reproduced to create masterpieces of modern fabric design.

As a result of these significant improvements in manufacture, artificial plants are becoming more popular than ever before. These technological improvements mean that silk plants are now being used more and more in people's homes, as well as in offices and high profile environments.

There are also many other benefits from using artificial plants or flowers. Artificial foliage needs little upkeep; with a quick dusting every few months being required to keep them looking in tip top shape for years to come.

Another advantage of artificial plants is that they can be used in places where it's not really practical to use live plants. Low lit positions, or environments that may be too cold or too hot, can all use artificial foliage to great success.

Using live living plants in close proximity to food has always created problems for restaurants and their customers. Often there is no other option but to use silk plants, thus ensuring that food is never contaminated.

Another great advantage in using silk plants and flowers is that they require so little. This means that they will look great for years to come. There won't be any problems with leaves dropping in the fall, and pests and diseases will be a thing of the past. Unfortunately, these are disadvantages that live plants always introduce, and which are eliminated by using artificial varieties.

As a result of this reduced maintenance requirement, artificial plants are far cheaper in the long run. This is an important factor, given the current international financial climate. Many offices around the world have already switched from real plants to artificial varieties.

Plants are an established and important part of architecture. That's why it is interesting to discover that many architects & designers around the world now recognise the distinct advantages offered by silk plants, and are even using them in high-profile settings.

Artificial plants are now better than ever before, and are now well worth considering for every office and home. They are incredibly easy to care for, and easy to maintain, and can last for many years. Live plants are still a great choice when conditions are favourable. However, when they are not, artificial silk plants are an ideal choice.
