Bromeliads Silk Plants and Flowers

My wife and I have been out looking at furniture and other accessories for our new house. While browsing through some of the furniture stores I’ve been amazed at the quality and variety of the silk plants on display. Everything from Silk ficus trees, Aglaonemas, Orchids, Spathiphyllum, Dracaenas, Calatheas, Bananas, palms like Kentia, Rhapis, and even bamboo.

For example, one of the most popular indoor plants on the market would have to be the colorful Bromeliad family. Bromeliad flowers and foliage offer a pop in color indoors and the plants adapt very well to interior use.

Bromeliads also offer a wide variation in size, shape, and foliage color - orchids may be the only other family that can beat these “air plants” in the color department. The unfortunate part is that not all areas in a home give easy access for easy to care for plants like the Bromeliad.

To the rescue comes the world of silk flowers and plants. If you can’t go “real” silk bromeliad flowers still offer the accent of color is those out of the way places. We have some “planters” sitting high above our kitchen cabinets. As much as I would like to go “live” almost the same look can be achieved using silk plants and bromeliad and orchid flowers for year-round interior beauty.
