Caring for Silk Orchids

• In comparison to the live orchids which need to be potted ( using osmunda fiber, ground tree fern stem and ground bark with peat and vermiculite), watered when dry, and kept out of direct sunlight, the silk orchids are not as high maintenance. Silk orchids need to be dusted every day, washed once every three to six months and kept out of strong sunlight, as the leaves and petals tend to fade over time. Also, silk orchids will maintain their shape when you keep them upright.

Advantages of Silk Orchids

• Silk orchids are easy to take care for; you don't need to fertilize or water them. They "bloom" all year round, not only during the few summer months in a year. They look extremely realistic and add to the beauty of an interior. They make great long-lasting gifts. They do not give people allergies. They are a good choice for people who are not endowed with green fingers. They introduce an ambiance of luxury and tranquility to any space.
