Care and Maintenance Guide
One of the biggest advantages of artificial plants is how little they ask of you. No watering, no fertilising, no worrying about sunlight. But a little care goes a long way in keeping your faux greenery looking vibrant and realistic for years to come.
Dusting Gently dust leaves with a soft, dry cloth or feather duster weekly to maintain their natural appearance.
Deep cleaning For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish. Ideally, use our Artifical Plant Cleaner that comes in two sizes. 1000ml and 250ml.
Shaping Gently reshape leaves and stems by hand to restore their natural form after unpacking or moving.
Outdoor plants Our UV-resistant outdoor artificial plants can be rinsed with a garden hose to remove pollen, dust, and surface dirt.
Hanging Plants Take hanging plants down from their hook before cleaning, it's much easier at bench height.
Storage Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Keep in original packaging when possible to protect from dust.
Absolutely - that's our whole thing! We're very selective about the products we stock, choosing only those that closely mimic the look and feel of real plants. Many of our customers say their guests can't tell the difference.
Are your plants suitable for outdoors?
Some of our range is suitable for covered outdoor areas such as patios, balconies, and verandahs. We recommend checking the individual product description for outdoor suitability, and avoiding prolonged direct exposure to harsh Australian sun and rain, which can cause fading over time.
Are your products pet-safe?
Our artificial plants are generally considered safer than many real plants, which can be toxic to pets. However, as our products are decorative items and not certified pet-safe, we recommend keeping them out of reach of curious pets who may chew or ingest materials.
Are your products child-safe?
Our products are decorative and not designed as toys. We recommend keeping smaller items out of reach of young children. All products comply with Australian consumer safety standards.
How do I clean my artificial plants?
Keeping your faux plants looking fresh is easy! A light dusting with a soft cloth or a gentle blast with a hairdryer on a cool setting works well for most pieces. For a deeper clean, a damp cloth or a light spray with water and a drop of mild detergent will do the trick. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Will the colours fade over time?
Our products are designed to be long-lasting. However, like most materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading over time. For best results, we recommend placing your plants away from harsh direct sunlight.
Do I need to water or maintain them?
Never! That's the beauty of faux plants - no watering, no pruning, no fertilising, and no worrying about sunlight. Just place them and enjoy.
