Artificial Orchids
Artificial orchids are popular for obvious reasons –
they bring all the beauty of form and color without the demanding nature
of cultivation. The best artificial varieties are hand made from silk.
A gentle feather dusting cleans the silk and there is no clipping, watering,
feeding or repotting.
Some crafty DIYers even buy artificial orchids and arrange them at home,
creating stunning, interchangeable focal points. Collecting vases then
becomes a favored pastime – searching for unique pieces to accent
the orchid colors and patterns.
Artificial orchids can be found in all colors and a variety of species
and genus. The best way to search for a specific genus and species is
to type “artificial phalaenopsis” into the search engine,
for example. A wealth of options will be revealed.
