There are many benefits to purchasing silk flowers over real. First, fake flowers don’t need water. Second, fake flowers do not need sunlight. Third, fake flowers will never wilt. Fourth, fake flowers will last forever. Lastly, fake flowers will never affect anyone’s nasal allergies. In the following paragraphs I will talk about these five points and let you make the final decision to either choose silk or real.

1. You do not have to water: Artificial flowers are better than real ones because you don’t have to water them. Today, people of all ages more than ever are on the run scrambling anout their day. And as much as we would like to have and care for real flowers in our living space odds are they would never get watered and die. Silk flowers are never thirst and can be set in acrylic water to make it look like they are real flowers in water.

2. They do not need sunlight: Artificial flowers are better than real ones because they don’t need sunlight. Unless you live in a greenhouse, we all have that one room that’s constantly dim or flat-out dark. The one window either faces north or south letting in minimal sunlight, killing your favorite sunray guzzling geranium. Artificial flowers do not care if they are in direct sunlight or on a shelf in your closet. They are at your complete beck and call.

3. Will not wilt: Artificial flowers are better than real ones because they will never wilt. A wilting flower is sad and depressing to look at. A flower can only be pollinated once, and after that the plant produces a chemical called ethylene that causes the flowers to wilt and die. Fake flowers have no pollen nor produce ethylene. Silk flowers can be scented to smell like real flowers.

4. Last Forever: Save you money – Artificial flowers are better than real ones because they will save you money. If you like the look of flowers in your house/apartment then your only two options are to consistently purchase real flowers to replace the old ones, which can easily add up to a hundred bucks a month, or buy silk flowers. Silk flowers not only save you money but you could always resell them on eBay or Craigslist if you no longer want them.

5. Nasal Allergies: Nasal allergies are uncomfortable, annoying and just plain miserable. Nasal allergies occur when an allergen gets into your body and your immune system goes nuts thinking it needs to kill it before it harms you. Pollen from flowers is an allergen. Thankfully silk flowers are made from plastic, rubber and silk which do not affect nasal allergies.

Quickly recapping on what has been written: firstly, you never have to water silk products. Secondly, a silk sprays never needs sunlight. Thirdly, wilting is impossible for a silk blossoms. Fourthly, silk clusters can be resold or gifted. And lastly, silk blossoms and buds will never cause an allergy attack. If you have all the time in the world to properly nurture and grow your own flowers than I envy you. But, if you like flowers and live a fast paced life I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the quality of today’s silk flowers.
