Our View On Plastic and Silk Ornaments That Look Like
Plants
"Plants clean, plant-shaped ornaments pollute"
- Dr. Ronald Wood (UTS)
Pros - Reasons to use plastic
(polymerized petroleum)
or silk plants.
- No water
- No dropping of leaves
- No servicing
- Why - Because they are non-living.
Cons - Reasons not to use plastic ornaments
that look like plants
- No growth, new leaves or budding flowers
- Fake is fake and real is real, I am sorry
if you cannot tell the difference
- Dust collectors, and how do you clean
them. Thy should be cleaned at least every 6 weeks. But because
tha are plastic they are assumed to be maintenance free. So no body
cleans them
- Fire Hazard, unless they have been fire
retarded they will quickly ignite
- Fading colours. Have you ever
wondered why plastic plants look blue not green - they fade!
- VOC's. Real plants clean the air.
It has been proven in laboratory testing that real plants remove Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOC's) from the air.
- Humidity. Real plants improve
humidity
- Oxygen. Real plants add oxygen to
the air
- No Stress. Real plants need someone
to look after them. It is amazing how important our service staff are
to their customers. Everyone is always happy to se the plant man.
We represent "NO STRESS" and a quick break in the days routine.
- Real plants are a talking point to many
people
- Never outdated. Real plants live,
grow and get old an are replaced with something different, fake plants soon
become outdated
- Fake plants end up in the corner and no
one cares - what a waste of money.
