Scientific studies have found that live plants in offices have helped contribute to a reduction of sick leave and an increase in productivity. These are facts that cannot be disputed, and have contributed to the increase in the popularity of live plants in offices around the world. Few offices these days are not fitted with plants.

Amazingly, many of these beneficial effects are not exclusive to living plants. It has been found that high quality artificial foliage can also create similar effects. Green plants whether living or real, are both capable of creating beneficial psychological affects.

Nowadays you won’t find it easy to find low quality silk plants and flowers. Modern design techniques mean that most silk plants and flowers are now so realistic that it’s hard to spot the difference from the original. For instance, many artificial trees and plants now include natural wood stems.

Artificial plants and flowers has now moved high-tech allowing for dramatic improvements in design and manufacture. This means that imperfections in the original leaves and petals are reproduced with exactness in order to create design masterpieces.

As a result of these dramatic improvements, more and more artificial plants are finding their way into homes, offices and public places. This is purely as a result of these improved manufacturing techniques.

There are also many other benefits from using artificial plants or flowers. Artificial foliage needs little upkeep; with a quick dusting every few months being required to keep them looking in tip top shape for years to come.

Another advantage of artificial plants is that they can be used in places where it’s not really practical to use live plants. Low lit positions, or environments that may be too cold or too hot, can all use artificial foliage to great success.

Using live living plants in close proximity to food has always created problems for restaurants and their customers. Often there is no other option but to use silk plants, thus ensuring that food is never contaminated.

Another great advantage in using silk plants and flowers is that they require so little. This means that they will look great for years to come. There won’t be any problems with leaves dropping in the fall, and pests and diseases will be a thing of the past. Unfortunately, these are disadvantages that live plants always introduce, and which are eliminated by using artificial varieties.

Since artificial foliage needs so little maintenance they can be far more economical in the long term. Due to the current economic climate, many offices around the world have already changed from live plants to their artificial equivalents.

Plants are a crucial part of most architectural developments. Architects worldwide are now increasingly using the distinct advantages offered by artificial foliage. They are even using them in most high-profile environments!

Real plants are still great in ideal environments, yet create a lot of work to maintain. As an alternative, artificial plants being incredibly realistic, and easy to maintain are now a worthwhile alternative to live plants. There also offer many additional advantages.
