Reach Out And Touch A Female Dragon!

Reach Out And Touch A Female Dragon!

Silk PlantsOMG!  Here’s something I didn’t know, the Dracaena plant gets its name from the Greek word “drakaina”, meaning a female dragon.  Wait, it’s not as bad as it sounds!  The connection between this popular plant and beast is the red gum produced when the stem is cut, and is said to resemble dragon’s blood.  I wonder who made that comparison!  A native of Africa and New Guinea, the dracaena is usually displayed as a bushy, multiple sprouted cane floor plant.  One of the most common Dracaena is the one more commonly known as the Corn Plant.  It has broad leaves with a dramatic, single variegated yellow stripe on each leaf.

The “Real Touch” Dracaena silk plants are the easiest to care for because there is no need to worry about the amount of sunlight it needs.  There is no need to worry about how often to water this beautiful carefree plant.  Mealy bugs and scale will never attack these life-like silk plants.  You’re free to display these beautiful plants anywhere in your home or office.  Not only will they make great focal points, silk plants are perfect for filling in gaps between furniture or as an accent in the corner of a room.  “Real Touch” artificial plants are perfect in color, texture and touch.

AKA, “Flamingo Flower” or “Boy Flower”

AKA, “Flamingo Flower” or “Boy Flower”

Silk Plants
Those red pursed lips…now that I have your attention, I’d like to continue to introduce the plants I was about to describe.  The Anthurium plant is also known as the “Flamingo Flower” or “Boy Flower”, both descriptions refer to the structure of the plants spathe and spadix (grab your dictionary because I’m not going to explain).  The leaves may be shaped like a spatula, rounded or obtuse.  They may be borne erect or spreading in a rosette.  The leaves are usually fully glossy, but this can vary among species.  The flowers are often divided sexually, I’m still talking about a plant here, with a sterile band separating male from female flowers. The blooms on this plant are absolutely stunning against the glossy green leaves, and are sure to make a great focal point in any setting.

To ensure that you have a plant that is in constant bloom, you will want to select a beautiful “RealTouch” silk plant for the occasion.  Like I said in the beginning, those red pursed lips, referring to the bright red flowers accented by the lush green leaves of these breathtaking silk plants.  So go ahead and add that something extra to your home or office.  Remember, these are life-like silk plants, so there is no need to worry about allergens or toxins being produced by the plant.  And because they are “Real Touch” artificial plants, they look just as good as they feel.

It’s Easier To Say Peace Lily

It's Easier To Say Peace Lily

Spathiphyllum!  I’ll bet you can’t say that fast 3 times!  Can you spell it with your eyes closed?  It’s so much easier to say and spell Peace Lily.  Can anyone tell me why the spathiphyllum is even called Peace Lily?  I certainly have no idea?  What I do know is that it is a beautiful plant that is even more beautiful when it blooms every few months displaying lovely white flowers. The live plant carries a long list of benefits, but is not the perfect plant for every home.  The peace lily is harmful if ingested by children and even more dangerous for dogs and cats.  And allergy sufferers, you will want to keep the meds and tissue close at hand.

Hold on, there is a solution!  For the safety of all occupants of your home or office, I’d like to suggest that you keep the peace with a stunning life-like peace lily.  Think of all of the benefits.  You’ll have a beautiful lush plant with shiny bold green leaves with delicate flowers that are constantly in bloom.  There will be no danger to your home or office occupants.  Really, what can be more peaceful than silk plants in bloom!

Silk Plants, No Doubt!

Silk Plants, No Doubt!

Silk PlantsNative to the tropical swamps and rainforest to southeastern Asia, The Aglaonema, and don’t ask me to pronounce it, is genus of about 40 species of foliage plants.  Among them is the Silver King, sometimes call Chinese Evergreens.  In Asia, some people consider the plant to be so lucky they use it to pick their lotto numbers.   Some Thai people refer to Aglaonemas as smile of fortune plants.  The Silver King as dark green leaves and yes, flowers, the flowers are inconspicuous but they are there.  And that small detail can cause problems for allergy sufferers.  Not only that, the sap of this plant is poisonous to health, and it causes skin irritations.  How is that lucky?

Here’s lucky!  An artificial Silver King!  Silk plants remove any doubt about the safety or health risks involved in using plants as accents for home and office décor.  We want to make our environment warm, cheerful, and inviting, and plants definitely add those much needed qualities to our surroundings.  But we need to protect the occupants of our home and workplace from the hidden risks sometimes present in live plants.  With safety in mind, decorate to your hearts content with silk plants, flowers and trees!

Focus On A Silk Fern

Focus On A Silk Fern

You’re just about finishing your redecorating project, but you cannot figure out what to do with that empty space over there.  Often times less is good, but in this case, less look like you forgot to do something with that space.  Long ledges, big landings near stairs and high ceilings can cause a bit of frustration when it comes to decorating.  You can use pictures in some areas, but sometimes that can draw even more attention to an empty area.   It’s times like this that silk flower arrangements become the perfect solution.
No matter what size the space you are working with, you will find there’s a silk flower arrangement to add the finishing touches to your project.   A great space filler to consider is a silk fern.  Silk fern plants are available in hanging baskets, as floor and tabletop plants in a variety of species and sizes.  Adding silk plants will quickly change odd areas into beautiful focal points.  Silk plants are great elements to add to just about any space.

Silk Trees For A Man’s Office

Silk Trees For A Man’s Office

He’s climbing the corporate ladder quite fast.  He just got a promotion and a nice office comes along with it.  Of course there’s going to be more work and even more travel than before. But that’s what he’s been working so hard for.  He’s so excited and you’re so very proud of him.  There will be the celebration that usually follows such an accomplishment. But you’re wondering what you can possibly do to express your lasting love and support for this new stage of his career.

Here’s a great idea!  Help him decorate his new office with a beautiful silk tree.  With all of the work and traveling he’ll be doing, he won’t have time to care of a live tree.  A life-like silk tree is bound to add personality and warmth to his new work space but will not require the attention of a live tree.  Imagine how cheerful it will be when he returns to the office after long meetings or days on the road.  It will also give his work space some comfort of home when he has to work late at the office.  Silk trees will for years and are available in shapes and sizes to accommodate any size room.
