Home Decoration Ideas Considerations
|
|
As a rule, plants look their best when they are about 2 feet from the ceiling. If you
have the standard 8 foot ceilings, a 6 foot plant will look great. If you have an older home with 9 foot ceilings, we suggest a 7 foot plant. The exception is for cathedral structures or
big structures where anything over 10 feet will look terrific, as the plant will stand over your head. If you put a 15 foot palm in a 17 foot ceiling, it will look magnificent and seem to
hit the ceiling!
Not every silk plant has to be tall. If you have space, try a tall Silk tree along
with one or two bushy silk plants. We always recommend choosing plants with different leaf shapes for a nice arrangement. See our photo gallery for great design ideas.
Note that you need to fluff our Silk trees on arrival. For
shipping convenience and for protecting them from damage during transportation, we have to pack our trees tightly. It does not take much effort to fluff our trees out of the
box. Please call our toll free number 888-532-0232, if you have any questions.

Home Decoration : Selecting Containers or Planters
|
|
Matching the container—its size, color and
material—to the selected plant is both an art and science. The tabled sizes may be deceptive. You may have to choose containers based on the type of trees or plants, they have to
hold. The size of a container is based on its outside diameter, but the shape of the pot can change the visual scale. For example, a 12 inch resin container is appropriate for a tabletop
plant; but a 12 inch cylinder fits a 6 foot tree. Personal tastes and preference in styles also count. Some people prefer as wide a container as the plant, while others like the visual
look of a smaller base.
|
|
Here are some tips for cleaning the
artificial plants and trees. If you follow these, the plants will last long without losing their luster and color.
|
- Mix 2 tablespoons of “pink” Avon bubble bath in a quart of warm water and take that in a spray
bottle.
- Put plants into sink or put the larger plants in the shower.
- Spray away.
- Let them drip dry for a fresh smell and look. If you use
this procedure there won’t be any water spots seen on the silk plants and trees.
