Question 1

Will artificial plants survive UAE outdoor sun?

Accepted Answer

Most cheap artificials fade or warp within 3-6 months in Dubai sun. Our outdoor-rated artificials are UV-stabilized and last 2-4 years before colors begin to fade. Indoor artificials don't face this issue and last 5+ years.

Question 2

How realistic do they look?

Accepted Answer

Modern silk and plastic mixed-material plants look genuine from arm's length. From very close, you can usually tell, but mixing one or two real plants with artificials in the same display creates an extremely realistic effect. Premium artificials at 1.5m+ are convincing even close-up.

Question 3

How do I clean an artificial plant?

Accepted Answer

Dust accumulation is the main maintenance task. Use a microfiber cloth weekly, or compressed air for intricate foliage. For deeper clean every 3-6 months: gentle soap + warm water, rinse, air dry away from direct sun.

Question 4

What's the lifespan?

Accepted Answer

Indoor artificials: 5-8 years before they look tired. Outdoor artificials: 2-4 years before noticeable UV fading. Premium silk artificials are at the top of this range; budget plastic varieties at the bottom.

Question 5

Can I mix real and artificial in one display?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it's actually the most realistic approach. Real plants in front, artificials filling the back or hard-to-reach spots. The eye reads the whole display as 'real' because the closest plants pass inspection.
