An evergreen garden is an American dream for many people. That is why many people opt to use artificial plants in their gardens. However, building your garden entails more than just buying artificial plants and putting them around the outdoor space.
Your garden should look beautiful and make sense of how you use it. In addition, it must look cohesive as well as reflect your personality with the interior of your home.
But if creating an aesthetic garden is all you want, the following are tips to help you buy artificial plants:
Find plants, which don't have symmetry or the same color patterns on every bloom or leaf. Plants and trees must have stems and branches, which vary in angle and length where they grow from trunks. Remember, nothing marks plants as artificial more than perfect symmetry.
One of the first things you must consider when buying artificial plants is odor. The main trick is to ensure the plants you want to buy mimic natural ones in all aspects.
Although many artificial plants are difficult to differentiate from natural ones at a glance, the fact is that the smell will always betray you. Hence, ascertain that you buy fake plants with a smell similar to natural ones.
Always look at the leaves and stems of artificial plants. Their stems should have a natural color and shape. If their stems have a straight shape, then you are making a wrong choice. Good ones often come with a wire so that you may bend them to your desired shapes.
Having their leaves also in the same green shade without a flaw isn't a great idea either. Good artificial plants come with leaves that have varying shades of green, which resemble old leaves.
Choosing quality artificial plants, which look real. Good ones come with a thin wire, which you may gently move into different positions to have a natural look.
Their leaves must as well look natural with varying sizes. Ensure their arrangement looks interesting, too, and incorporates different leaf colors and shapes.
Budget is an important part of almost everything, including when buying artificial plants. So when buying the plants, consider how much you should spend and how durable you want them to be. Usually, quality ones last for around five years or so and will be safe to use.
But always remember that you should get what you pay for when buying artificial plants. Low-priced ones require frequent replacement or long-term maintenance. Hence, that means cheap artificial plants are not the real deal. Instead, go for artificial plants at a reasonable price, which must always come from a reputable store near you.
