Their exposure withstanding capacity has already increased, giving more decorative options for homeowners, landscapers, interior designers,and all other users.



The latest version of these outdoor artificial plants and flowers as well as trees are truly fashioned from high quality silk like materials, others are made from a thin plastic material that is waterproof, thus, preventing silk plants from shrinking or rotting when exposed to harsh conditions. The thin plastic is durable and easy to clean; it can be sprayed directly with your garden hose and be cleaned without much hassle. But there are actually many types of materials used to manufacture artificial plants in the market today.
