Artificial plants are more than décor—they’re a way to bring nature’s calm into modern spaces without the effort of watering, pruning, or replacing.
But even maintenance-free beauty deserves a little care. With the right habits, your artificial plants can stay realistic, clean, and fresh for years.

Here’s a complete guide from Greentek Online on keeping your greenery flawless.

1. Start with the Right Placement

The first step to long-lasting artificial plants is where you keep them.

• Avoid direct sunlight: Constant exposure to harsh UV light can fade the natural hues of the leaves.

• Keep away from moisture: Artificial plants don’t enjoy water—the base, glue, or internal wires can loosen if kept in damp corners.

• Balance visibility and safety: Place them where they get light reflection but no heat or humidity from kitchens or bathrooms.

✅ Pro Tip: If your plant will sit near a window, choose UV-protected or “Real-Touch” Greentek plants for color retention.

2. Dust Regularly—It Matters

Dust is the main reason artificial plants lose their shine.

• Weekly wipe: Use a soft microfiber cloth or feather duster.

• Monthly deep clean: Gently blow off accumulated dust using a low-setting hairdryer or handheld blower.

• Avoid wet cloths: Water can leave residue marks on silk or polyester leaves.

✨ For tall plants or vertical gardens, use an extendable duster to reach high corners without bending stems.

3. Use Gentle Cleaning Sprays (or Make Your Own)

If dusting isn’t enough, occasional cleaning with a mild solution restores their brightness.

• Mix 1 part white vinegar with 2 parts water in a spray bottle.

• Lightly mist the leaves and wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.

• For stubborn stains, use a soft brush—avoid harsh detergents.

💧 Never soak: Artificial plants aren’t meant for rinsing; even quick washes can loosen the adhesive.

4. Refresh the Arrangement

Like real plants, even artificial ones can benefit from a quick rearrangement.

• Rotate positions every few weeks for an even look.

• Change pots or planters to match seasons or interior updates.

• Fluff and reshape leaves gently—bending them restores natural form.

Greentek’s Premium Pots are designed for easy re-potting without damaging the stems.

5. Maintain the Pots and Base

The beauty of your plant also depends on the base.

• Wipe ceramic or metal pots with a soft damp cloth.

• For pebbled bases, use a small paintbrush to remove fine dust.

• Keep bases off damp surfaces to prevent discoloration or corrosion.

🪴 If your décor uses Vertical Gardens, brush from top to bottom to maintain symmetry and avoid trapped lint.

6. Seasonal Revamp for Freshness

Once every few months, give your artificial garden a refresh:

• Move plants to different rooms for variety.

• Mix in a few flower bunches with existing greens.

• Check for any faded leaves and rotate them out.

This simple rotation makes your interiors feel alive—even without real soil.

7. Use Fragrance for Natural Ambience

A subtle room freshener near your artificial plants can simulate a real garden atmosphere.
Choose scents like eucalyptus, lemongrass, or jasmine for a calm and natural feel.
Just keep sprays at a distance to prevent residue on leaves.

8. Store Carefully When Not in Use

If you’re rotating décor items, proper storage is crucial.

• Wrap plants in tissue paper or bubble wrap.

• Store vertically if possible to avoid bending.

• Keep in a cool, dry space away from sunlight.

Greentek’s plants retain structure even after storage—but correct packing ensures longer life.
