In any case, it's up to you to get real plants or use a decent replacement for them.

Pros of living plants

Real greens are great! Not only beauty comes from real plants, but also some usefulness. Apart fromclean the environment, plants create a he althier microclimate and contribute to air humidification. Especially chic are exotic flowering specimens that settled in pots. Artificial orchids, azaleas, gerberas and other specimens are not able to completely replace all the emotions that you experience while admiring the opening fresh bud of a lively capricious beauty. Therefore, there are people in the world who are truly in love with floriculture, who are able to tame the obstinate beauty for more than one year, or rather, to please her, if only she would finally bloom. Then the flowering time passes, the wait for fresh buds can last quite a long time. But that's not bad either. A passionate person is a happy person.

Cons of live orchids and other flowering plants

1. A living plant can be weak and die, despite all the efforts of the grower.
2. A real orchid is not so easy to "make" bloom at home. For such a plant, a special light substrate is needed, created on the basis of some types of tree bark. The bark is subjected to repeated processing to destroy the malignant invisible enemies of the orchid.
3. If you need to leave home, a living plant is threatened with death from lack of attention and light. It is also possible from strong sun or from dried substrate.
4. If you are a novice florist, then you may have problems not only with orchids, azaleas and other whims. Even the most common and picky (at first glance) pelargonium is easily capable ofignore all your efforts.

Pros of potted artificial orchids

Above were only the most common reasons why a flower may not be an interior decoration, but a common problem in a flower pot. Below are the positives that designers are leaning towards decorating with non-natural plants:

1. Artificial orchids in pots and hanging planters will delight with their flowers until the owners get tired of it. And if the season changes outside the window, then having bought several planters with flowers of different shades, you can bring novelty to the interior design.
2. It is worth mentioning the color palette of plants. Artificial flowers are able to have the brightest and most suitable shade for the overall color scheme of the room. Whatever you say, but living plants are very limited in this.
3. Artificial orchids in pots, however, like other plants, it is not scary to leave the apartment during a trip to the sea. No need to resort to the help of neighbors and relatives - ask them to look after the plant and not let it die.
4. If it accidentally falls, there is no need to shed bitter tears for a broken plant, sweeping up the remains of the soil in which it lived.

Decide which plants are more suitable for your interior - live or artificial.
