Everybody loves a little greenery in any indoor setting. Adding a little greenery to a space can really warm it up, make it feel welcome, and add some life to your décor. These days, there are many options for both artificial and live plants. While you may prefer live plants, there are times when they just won’t work for you. This is where artificial plants come in. Continue reading to discover their benefits.
Low or no maintenance
One of the biggest concerns about living indoor plants is that most of them require regular watering, sunlight, fertilizer, trimming, and weeding as needed. This seems so simple, right? Well, that is until you have to go on a week-long trip and cannot give it the daily watering and care it needs, or you are too busy to trim it.
This is when you discover that an artificial indoor plant is the best option for you. Artificial plants need little to no maintenance. All you need to do is wipe off the dust whenever needful and plant remains as it is all year long.
Decor and design versatility
Some of the drawbacks of live plants are that you cannot use them in dimly lit spaces and their propensity to perish in the cold. Artificial plants don’t have this issue, and you may use them to adorn your space without having to worry about sunlight reaching them.
In a similar vein, living room artificial plants are made of stronger materials that can tolerate bad weather and UV radiation. They are also quite flexible, so you can bend and adjust them as needed to fit your desired idea, shape, size, and style!
Free from allergens
Some people have allergies to pollen, a live plant-derived substance. This can be an issue if real plants are used to decorate the house. But you won’t have to worry about allergies if you utilize artificial flowers and plants for decor. They don’t contain pollen. They are also made from high-quality silk materials and don’t contain spray or preservatives.
Size variety
Areas like the hallway and stairwell landing require large/tall plants, while smaller plants are suitable for other sections of the house or office, such as a tabletop planter. These are readily available and easily attainable with artificial plants. You can locate a medium-sized artificial plant for a bedroom or a five-foot plant for a living room corner. There are also lovely little faux plants that would look fantastic in the bathrooms and kitchen.
No mess
Real plants are like babies; you feed them, and then you clean up their mess. Just like that blooming tree in your backyard, they can make your living space messy with leaves. And when you water them, the water frequently spills to the ground or drips after a few minutes.
On the other hand, artificial plants don’t shed; they don’t require special care. So you can spend more time taking care of yourself than you would tending to a real plant.
Wrapping up
Artificial plants are the solution if you want to add greenery to your space with little maintenance.
