If you prefer the care-free, no-fuss nature of artificial plants, the choice of what to display both indoors and outdoors is almost endless. Made from various materials including silk, plastic and polyblends, many artificial plants are placed in direct sunlight where their color may fade. You may, however, limit this fading by following some simple steps at home.
Always test cleaning methods and sprays in an inconspicuous area on your artificial plants before applying to the whole floral display to ensure colorfastness. Turn plants every month so all sides are exposed to the light evenly. If any fading does occur in time, it is uniform and will not be as noticeable. Some artificial flowers are protected with UV inhibitors, so read the label carefully to learn how long it is meant to last.
