Why Silk Orchids Are Better Than The Real Thing

By Martin Elmer

There is no doubt that orchids are one of the most beautiful flowers on earth. Even though you are not interested in flowers, you can probably see the beauty in an orchid. But orchids are also one of the most difficult blooms to take care of. That is the reason why silk orchids are getting very popular these days.

There are almost no occasion where fake orchids cannot be used. They are great in a pot or a vase in your home; either as a bouquet or just a single stem. But they are probably even greater used for wedding decorations. No matter what you are planning to use the orchids for, they will give a beautiful impression.

Cymbidium and Phalaenopsis orchids are the most popular silk orchids to buy. And the reason is probably that they are also the two most popular real orchid species. But Dendrobium and Vanda are popular orchids. And in contrast to real orchids you can buy all species all year round; even though they normally only are found in the summer in Indonesia.

Today the quality of fake orchids is really great. A few years ago an artificial flower was made of clothes for the flower and plastic for leaves and the stem. Today you will get realistic orchid made of materials like silk and nylon. At it will look exactly like the real orchid.

But it is not only the orchids that are made of artificial materials. Also the water in the vase can be faked with a transparent polymer-suspension. The same apply for dew drops on the leaves.

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.

So you do not have green fingers. And all your plants die a few days after you have got them? Not if you choose faux orchids. Just dust them regularly and they will look beautiful for years. And no one can see the difference.

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. - 31996
