Maintenance Tips for UV Resistant Artificial Plants
UV resistant fake plants need some care to stay fresh. We’ve got easy tips to keep your outdoor artificial greenery looking great.
- Regular cleaning: Dust your plants with a soft brush or cloth every few weeks. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Spray protection: Mist your plants with a UV protection spray once a year. Let them dry fully after spraying.
- Gentle handling: Be careful when moving or adjusting your plants. Rough handling can damage leaves or stems.
- Shade placement: While UV resistant, these plants last longer in partly shaded spots. Avoid full sun all day if you can.
- Weather watch: Bring in or cover your plants during extreme weather like hail or strong winds.
- Pest check: Look for any bugs or pests that might nest in your fake plants. Remove them gently if you find any.
- Colour touch-up: If colours fade over time, use safe plant paints to refresh the look. Test on a small area first.
- Storage care: If you store plants for winter, keep them in a cool, dry place. Avoid damp areas that could cause mould.
