Is it OK to put fake flowers outside? ›

Faux plants can withstand the elements and flourish beyond the cozy confines of our homes. With UV-resistant materials, fake plants can endure prolonged exposure to the sun and brave varying temperatures with little to no wear and tear.

The best way to protect your artificial outdoor plants and keep them looking great is by using a UV spray and a damp cloth and removing them from sunlight.

Artificial Hanging Plants

Of course, most of them are UV-protected, so they won't wilt under the sun or succumb to the Southern heat. You can plant them in hanging pots or wall-mounted planters on your porch or patio. These faux plants come with stems you can use to push into the soil and fix them in place.

For planting and securing outdoor artificial plants and flowers to planters, you can simply create a chicken wire ball, attach the plant with clear zip ties to the ball, and plant with soil like a regular plant.

Storms usually bring two major threats to your artificial plants; strong winds and heavy rain. Rain is not usually a problem, however if there is a lot of it in a short space of time, the ground and plant pots become waterlogged. If your faux plant has a natural wood stem this will temporarily soak up the moisture.

Weather-Resistant

Although pliable and realistic, they will feel more like plastic and have a slight sheen. On the plus side, they are the most resilient option and will last the longest. Depending on your location and wear-and-tear these flowers or plants can last anywhere from 2 seasons to 5 years.

In Summary. Hairspray is a great companion for faux flower fading. It provides protection for your artificial flowers so that they don't fade too fast.

Artificial plants don't last forever.

This translates to an unattractive, washed-out look; you might actually end up replacing fake plants more often than living ones.

Place Them in Natural Light

Plants and flowers need a lot of sunlight and TLC to thrive. An easy way to pass off your faux plant as real is by putting them in areas of your home where you would naturally put a real plant. Opt for an area near a window or doorway because those areas tend to get more sunlight.

It's maintenance free and UV-safe so it won't fade, and it's safe for pets, so it is Miss RubyLou approved! Faux plants are perfect for any outside space, from the patio and backyard to the front porch.

Yes, you can put fake flowers outside. You can scatter them in your backyard, plant them in a garden, or keep them out on the patio. For the most part, they should be fine. That said, their durability may pose an issue.

When do I know it's safe to bring my plant outside? It's safe to move your plants outside when the outdoor temperatures stay consistently above 50°F. Pay attention to the weather report. If nighttime temperatures are set to fall below 50°F, bring your plants in for the night.

Remove stubborn grime using equal parts lemon juice and water. The citric acid in lemon juice helps break down stuck-on dirt on your plastic flowers. Just fill a spray bottle with equal parts lemon juice and lukewarm water. Then, spritz the dirty spots and lightly dab them with a clean white cloth.
