BookmarkAll About Silk Plants
Silk flowers, plants, and trees are artificial products that are made to look like the living thing. It is difficult to distinguish quality silk from a real plant, making these items a wonderful, long-lasting addition to your home.
Why silk?
Silk flowers, plants and trees hold color dyes and retain applied textures well. Before the advent of new polymers in the 1960's, artificial flowers were usually made out of crepe paper and plastic. Artificial plants made out of these materials did not look nearly as life-like or elegant as those made out of silk. Over the years, updated designs in silk plants have made them hard to distinguish from living plants.
