Why Silk Orchids Are Better Than The Real Thing

By Martin Elmer

Anyone will say that orchids are one of the most stunning flowers on earth. Even people who are not interested in flowers will look at the orchids and see the beauty. But it is also very difficult to take care of orchids. That is the reason why many people prefer fake orchids instead.

Silk orchids can be used for many purposes. They can be potted or displayed in a vase. Or they can be used at special occasions like weddings. They can be placed several together in a bouquet or used separately as a stem. No matter how you use artificial orchids they will be a beautiful decoration.

The two most popular artificial orchid species are Phalaenopsis and Cymbidium. The reason for that is probably that they also are the most popular real orchid species. But also species like Vanda and Dendrobium are well-liked. And you can always buy them; also if they are normally only found in Vietnam in the winter.

The quality of faux orchids today is really astonishing. Instead of the old flowers made of clothes with plastic stems and leaves, you will get an amazing copy made of silk, nylon and other similar products that makes it very difficult to distinguish from the real thing.

And the fakeness is not only on the orchids. A transparent polymer-suspension can be used to simulate water in a vase. Or it can be sprayed on the orchids to simulate dew drops.

Do you suffer from flower allergy? And would you love to decorate your home with orchids. Then you just select fake orchids; a beautiful home without a single sneeze.

Are you a plant-killer? Then faux orchids are the right thing for you. As long as you just dust them regular they will look beautiful for many years. And no one will know that you do not have green fingers.

Silk orchids are very sturdy and can take both the warm sunshine and the cold frost. Real orchids will die if they are exposed to cold winters or hot summers. The heat or the cold will make them wither.

Silk orchids look exactly like real orchids. Sometimes they even look better than the real ones. And then they have all the advantages that will make you happy that you bought the artificial version instead of the real ones. - 32378
