How to Care for Artificial Plants: Keep Them Forever Fresh

1. Dusting 101: Gentle & Effective

Why: Dust dulls even the most lifelike leaves.
How:

  • Soft Brush or Microfiber Cloth: Gently wipe leaves weekly. For intricate stems, use a makeup brush.

  • Canned Air: Blow dust from hard-to-reach crevices (keep 15cm distance).

  • Deep Clean: Every 3 months, rinse under lukewarm water. Pro Tip: Add a drop of mild soap for silk plants, then air-dry upside down.

2. Sunlight? Yes, But Smartly

Myth Busted: UV-resistant ≠ indestructible.
Our Advice:

  • Place outdoor plants under shaded patios or use UV spray annually.

  • Rotate indoor arrangements monthly to prevent uneven fading.

3. Fluff & Style Like a Pro

Problem: Leaves flatten during shipping.
Fix:

  • Gently bend stems to restore natural curves.

  • Use hair dryer on cool setting to fluff up dense foliage.

4. Avoid These Enemies

🚫 Heat Sources (radiators, fireplaces) – Can warp stems.
🚫 Harsh Chemicals (bleach, ammonia) – Fade colors.
🚫 Humid Bathrooms – Unless labeled humidity-resistant.

5. Seasonal Refresh Tips

  • Spring: Add faux cherry blossoms to your olive tree.

  • Winter: Spray artificial pine branches with cinnamon-scented oil (test on a small area first).

  • Pro Hack: Store seasonal pieces in PlantVivid’s recyclable boxes – no attic odors!
