Silk Plants and Safety First

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Most of us know that no matter what we do to our silk plants, we can’t kill them or make them wilt.  But believe it or not, this is not always true.  There are a few ways that your beautiful silk plants and silk trees can look like they’re dying or at least, catching a cold.  So here are some tips to keeping them fresh:

  1. Keep them clean: Dust and other residues can build up on your plants and dull their beauty.
  2. Keep them out of the kitchen: Cooking greases and other cleaning products can make even a beautiful silk orchid hang its head.
  3. Try to avoid direct sunlight: You don’t want your silk plants getting cooked in the kitchen or in the sun.  The color may fade over time.

Follow these friendly tips and your gorgeous silk trees and silk plants will stay vibrant and look great!
