Short on time but still want to make your home more green and charming? Fake plants are the ideal solution. Despite their numerous aesthetic benefits, some homeowners still prefer real plants because of their ability to purify the air. So, how do you ensure that the air in your home is clean, the space feels relaxed and you don’t have to do much watering, repotting and similar upkeep? By combining fake plants with real plants. A great way to brighten up your space and ensure that your home stays green throughout the year, combining fake plants with real plants will add great beauty and life to your space. And there are myriad benefits of mixing fake plants with real plants in a display.
For starters, mixing both artificial and real plants make it really tough for the onlookers to pick out fakes ones from the real ones in a group. Ensure that you use the same type of planter for both, real and fake ones. This will increase the likelihood of faux plants appearing real and will bring a uniform, refined look. You will get a statement-making, picturesque display which looks absolutely real but with less hassle. With fewer real plants to take care of, you will be able to save time and effort and can concentrate on maintaining and nourishing the few real ones in the collection and ensure that they flourish. In a display combining real and artificial plants, you are ensured a spectacular display throughout the year. The artificial plants will always look their best and you can get away with real plants not at their peak beauty. One group will cover for the other.
Since fake plants don’t require sunlight, they offer endless placement opportunities in a group. Real plants can take up the spots/areas where there is sunlight available, whereas faux plants can be put in darker areas.
One of the best advantages of combining fake plants with real ones is that it allows you to create a seasonal display. For instance, you could bring artificial Marigold, Geranium, Impatiens or Petunia flower plants in the summer and swap them with artificial Primrose or Sweet Pea flower plants in the winter. This will allow you to keep your display fresh, colorful and seasonal and will make a big impression on everyone.
When selecting plants for your combination display, always opt for larger artificial plants and smaller real plants. This is because you’ll have to move around real plants and care for them regularly and having smaller units will make the process easier. Bigger fake plants will anchor your space and can act as a focal point with your real plants acting as a supporting cast. The resulting display will be easier to manage and will give you a striking setting.
