1. Silk plants are very low maintenance. Occasional dusting or wiping with a wet, clean cloth will keep them presentable for years.
2. Unless outdoor use is explicitly stated, they should be kept indoors. Sunlight will drain color from non-UV protected silk trees.
3. These plants are hypoallergenic, meaning they will not cause allergic reactions. That quality makes them a thoughtful choice for public areas or waiting rooms.
4. The cascading foliage of ledge silk trees is a perfect decorative complement to large windows or unused shelves.
5. Mixing them with live plants will add to their realism. Locate your silk plants in rooms or areas that aren't friendly to natural plants.
6. The leaves of modern silk plants are spotted and veined for a surprisingly life like appearance.
