Artificial topiaries are designed to resist fading thanks to the high-quality materials used in their construction. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions can still affect their appearance over time. Here’s a revised version of your content:
Do Artificial Plants Fade and Become Ugly?
This is a common and important question. The answer is: Do nothing—high-quality artificial plants are built to withstand fading. Nevertheless, years of weather exposure might reduce the freshness of your outdoor topiary trees.
The color-fastness of an artificial shrub depends on the pigments used. With high-quality, light-fast pigments, fading will be minimal, regardless of whether the material is polyethylene, vinyl, or polyblend.
Our outdoor topiaries use expensive, high-quality pigments that show minimal color change even with prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Limit Fading Care:
If you want to enjoy the convenience of artificial topiary, there are endless possibilities for their use. Artificial topiaries are made from various materials like silk, plastic, and polyblends. Because many are placed outside under the sun’s powerful UV rays, their colors can fade.
However, you can limit this fading by following some easy steps:
- Dusting: Use a duster, blow dryer, or canned air to remove dust from hard-to-reach areas.
- Cleaning: Wipe your artificial plants with a dishtowel dipped in soapy water. Ensure you clean the stems and foliage and let them dry naturally.
- UV Protection: Purchase a UV-resistant spray and apply it to your artificial plants. Spray in a well-ventilated area, maintaining a distance of about two feet from the plants. Let the plants air dry for a couple of hours. Some topiaries already have “UV inhibitors,” so check the labels before purchasing additional spray.
By following these steps, you can keep your artificial plants looking vibrant and fresh for years.
