We are sharing the seven best reasons to use artificial plants in your home over the regular living variety. Why?

We are sharing the seven best reasons to use artificial plants in your home over the regular living variety. Why? Because we know everyone sees real-life artificial plants and is wowed by the detail and quality, but some homeowners continue to avoid using artificial plants and purchase real-life plants that in turn…continue to disappoint with a short life span.
For all the people wondering why they should move to the lush ever green artificial plant variety over real plants delve in with us while we investigate why you should be investing in long-term suitable, zero-maintenance artificial plants.
- Saving on replacement costs when your real-life plants just don’t survive!
We have all invested in that beautiful real-life plant that looks great but isn’t quite suited to growing in the environment we pop it in, but we move forward hoping for the best. In most cases, you are left with a wilted plant and a wasted budget.
Purchasing artificial plants is an investment - they will not wilt and you can choose any variety that inspires you, no climate requirements need to be met when you have zero-maintenance artificial plants in your home.
No more replacement costs. A big plus to the household budget.
- Being able to create something unique to your home - no limitations by nature.
Choose larger-than-life trees, and decide on tropical varieties or pretty florals that would not normally be seen in your location due to the climate. Let your imagination run wild!
All varieties of artificial plants will suit any home, any climate and any location. With just a light dusting every now and then they will look great for years to come.
- Less water usage - by that we mean ZERO watering required.
Just another cost saved by using artificial plants to decorate your home. No water, no fertiliser, and zero additions needed.
With less care required by all artificial plants and flowers, they are a great choice for people with a busy lifestyle.
- Great for allergy sufferers
Real plants can often hide some nasties within those pots.
Mould, mildew and allergy-inducing flowers and leaves can create problems for allergy sufferers. If someone within your home is triggered by allergens, artificial plants can be a wise choice. With no potting mix or dirt required, they are generally more allergy friendly and not to mention…they are less likely to attract unwanted bugs in your home.
Artificial flowers and plants can be lightly dusted for a low-maintenance allergy-friendly addition to your home.
- Artificial plants are more pet and child friendly.
Quite often the real-life variety of plants that are popular to use in home decor can be toxic to pets and potentially children. If you have a curious pet or young child, artificial plants can often be a great choice to inject some mood-boosting green into your home safely.
- Budget-friendly, artificial plants last years. Making updating your home easy anytime.
Using artificial plants and flowers within the home allows you to easily create and re-create new looks, any time inspiration strikes. Re-arranging your plants or floral arrangements in a new area of your home can be quite simple and as easy as using your investment pieces in artificial plants and floral stems in a new vase or pot, or placing them in a new room of the house for a fresh new look.
- They look great wherever you place them!
Of course, we saved the best for last.
The best thing about artificial plants and flowers is that they stay their own beautiful colour wherever you place them. Interior heating and cooling or placement will not affect the beauty of your plants. Bunch them together to create an indoor garden, or use floral arrangements placed about your home for a fresh feel to any room.
When you are considering the interior decor of your home, artificial plants and floral arrangements are an investment in the long-term aesthetics of your home. We are sure you will find varieties that you love for your home, that will inspire you to enjoy your home more.
