Going Feng Shui with Artificial Plants

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

The concept of feng shui (pronounced fung shway) is the ancient Chinese practice of achieving harmony with the environment through the design and layout of space.  Adding new decorative items to your home that represent life, whether with a plant or an animal picture, helps to create a calming, tranquil atmosphere.

If you are hesitant to use real plants because of the work involved, consider an exquisitely made silk plant. They never need water, aren’t messy and always look great.

“Many people shy away from using living plants in their decor, claiming their lack of a green thumb results in unhealthy and dead plants. For these people I recommend using life-like or ‘live looking’ fake plants,” says Joyce Hyde, feng shui consultant. “Attractive, good quality silk plants are available in retail outlets in a wide variety of styles … their vibrant green color that symbolizes life, growth and health can transform a dull, lackluster space into a warm and inviting one.”

Directly imported from Asia, the stems are high quality and look remarkably like real plants and flowers. The designers then fashion arrangements to create different looks — Asian, tropical or traditional — to complement any decor you have.

Why Silk Trees and not Natural?

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Silk Trees are great for both indoors and protected outdoor environments. They can be used for a home setting or even office settings. So the question is, why silk trees and not the real thing?

First of all, variety is the spice of life! The great thing about silk trees and plants is that there is a huge variety to choose from, and you don’t have to worry about what season it is to have them. The next thing is maintenance. None of us like to pick up leaves, water plants each week, move them out of direct sunlight, and tell stories to them to help them grow.

Let’s not forget, these things are almost indestructible. You can move them around all you want without losing all the soil and having branches get broken off by your grandfather clock. Finally, they are simply gorgeous. We take pride in our wide variety of beautiful silk plants and silk trees.

The History of Silk Flowers

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Before silk flowers, many women and designers dabbled in the art of artificial flowers. Some of the first artificial flowers were made of crepe paper, thin foam sheets that could be colored, and plastic. Some of these forms, like crepe paper flowers, are still used today, while others, like plastic flowers, have been mostly eliminated from production and use when associated with quality, artificial flowers. Today’s silk flowers are some of the more popular versions. Although they are generally a cotton and polyester blend for texture purposes, high-end silk flowers are made with some of the highest quality materials across the globe. In addition to different colors, silk flowers are created to look like some of the more exotic and popular types of flowers.
