Artificial Orchids

When it comes to our artificial orchid flowers, every stem and every artificial orchid plant is crafted using premium materials to achieve lifelike realism. Our suppliers primarily use silk, polyester, and other synthetic fibres for the petals and leaves, ensuring a natural look and feel. The stems are often made from plastic or wire, providing stability and flexibility for arranging. In our Real Look fake phalaenopsis orchid and cymbidium ranges, we use 3D-printed details to enhance their authenticity. Whether you’re after an artificial pink orchid plant for your workspace or fake white orchids for a centrepiece at a wedding, our materials are carefully selected to replicate the beauty of natural orchids while offering durability and longevity.

Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a faux orchid vase arrangement:

1. Gather your materials: Artificial orchids, a container or vase, dry floral foam or other supportive material, wire cutters, and additional florals or foliage to act as filler flowers.
2. Prepare the container with dry floral foam or a foam alternative. 
3. Build the framework of your arrangement using orchids: Arrange artificial cymbidium orchids as linear flowers that build height in your arrangement. Hang phalaenopsis near the front to add movement and to counter the height of the cymbidiums. Trim to size before inserting into floral foam.
4. Use real touch or real look artificial orchid varieties for central focal flowers. 
5. Add greenery and filler: Tuck in artificial greenery or filler flowers to fill out any empty spaces.
6. Adjust and refine: Step back and assess your arrangement, making any necessary adjustments to the placement of the orchids and other elements. Ensure that the arrangement looks balanced from all angles.

While artificial orchids in pots and vase arrangements are generally more resilient to environmental conditions than real orchids, it's still advisable to avoid placing them in excessively humid environments like bathrooms. Prolonged exposure to high humidity can cause the materials to degrade over time and may affect the appearance of any  faux orchids in a pot or otherwise.
If you do choose to place artificial orchids in a bathroom or other humid area, consider taking some precautions:

• Choose high-quality materials: Opt for artificial orchids made from durable materials that are less prone to damage from moisture, such as real touch orchids.
• Provide ventilation: Ensure that the bathroom has adequate ventilation to help reduce humidity levels and prevent moisture buildup around the orchid flowers.
• Keep them away from direct water sources: Avoid placing imitation orchid plants directly next to sinks, showers, or baths where they may be splashed with water.
• Regular cleaning: Dust and clean imitation orchids in pots regularly to prevent mould or mildew from forming on the petals and leaves.

Cleaning and maintaining artificial orchids, especially a fake white orchid plant - prone to discolouration,  is essential to keep them looking vibrant. Here are the best methods:

• Dusting: Regularly dust your real touch orchid plant to remove any dirt, debris, or pet hair buildup. Use a soft-bristled brush, a feather duster, or a can of compressed air to gently remove dust from the petals, leaves, and stems.
• Cleaning: Gently wipe stubborn dirt from your realistic orchid plant with a damp cloth with mild detergent.
• Drying: Allow the fake orchid in a pot to air dry completely. Gently shake off any excess water or use a clean, lint-free cloth to pat dry.
