Anyone will say that orchids are one of the most stunning flowers on earth. Even people who are not interested in flowers will look at the orchids and see the beauty. But it is also very difficult to take care of orchids. That is the reason why many people prefer fake orchids instead.

There are almost no occasion where fake orchids cannot be used. They are great in a pot or a vase in your home; either as a bouquet or just a single stem. But they are probably even greater used for wedding decorations. No matter what you are planning to use the orchids for, they will give a beautiful impression.

Cymbidium and Phalaenopsis orchids are the most popular silk orchids to buy. And the reason is probably that they are also the two most popular real orchid species. But Dendrobium and Vanda are popular orchids. And in contrast to real orchids you can buy all species all year round; even though they normally only are found in the summer in Indonesia.

The quality of faux orchids today is really astonishing. Instead of the old flowers made of clothes with plastic stems and leaves, you will get an amazing copy made of silk, nylon and other similar products that makes it very difficult to distinguish from the real thing.

But it is not only the orchids that are made of artificial materials. Also the water in the vase can be faked with a transparent polymer-suspension. The same apply for dew drops on the leaves.

Do you suffer from flower allergy? And would you love to decorate your home with orchids. Then you just select fake orchids; a beautiful home without a single sneeze.

Do you always kill you plants in a few days? Are you not born with green fingers? Not a problem if you buy silk orchids. They will look beautiful for years if you just dust them regularly. And no one can see they are not real.

Normally orchids are very sensitive to heat or cold. If they are placed to hot or cold they will wither. Silk orchids do not have the same problem. They can take both cold winters and hot summers without any problems.

Silk orchids look as good as real orchids; sometime they even look better. And if you add all the advantages compared to real orchids, there are no reason why you should not buy silk orchids instead of a real orchids, if you want to decorate your home or your wedding.
