PLANTS ARE MADE AND SOLD IN DIFFERENT FORMS
Plants come from the factories
with different amounts in a box. Most come with
more than one in a box. In most cases we sell less than the amount that
comes in a factory box.
Plants come from factories
in different forms. Some come not potted, potted, assembled and not
assembled. On most plants we offer professional potting for plants that come
from factory not potted.
All plants are not shipped in every form due
to how they come from factory, product is easy to assemble, cost to ship
in every form is too
high or it does not ship safely in every form. The different ways to purchase a plant
effects the plant's price and usually shipping cost. Many companies show
pictures of potted and shaped plants but do not tell you in which form
you will receive plant in for the price. Many companies do not offer
plants professionally potted. When
possible, we give
you the option of buying plants not potted, professionally potted,
assembled and not assembled.
We tell you exactly what you are getting
for the price !!!

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Our
pictures represent fully shaped plants, palms and trees. The height
we use is after the plant is shaped as shown in picture, not with the leaves heading
straight up like most other companies whose plants will be 6"
to 12" shorter than the height they put in their website when
the leaves are shaped. Heights can be changed depending on how
much bend you put in the upper leaves. |
Leaves in the back
can be shaped upwards and to the sides so the plant will fit closer
to a wall or in a corner. |
 
Leaves can be shaped in the downwards or upwards position. It changes the look and how
it fits a location. |
This is how we recommend to shape leaves. Gradually put more bend in the
stem of the leaf. |

ABOUT SILK
PLANTS, PALMS, TREES AND TOPIARY
The word most commonly used to describe these
types of products are "silk" yet the correct word is
"artificial". The word silk started being used because the word
artificial was used to describe the plants that use to
have plastic leaves many years ago. Most silk plants leaves are made of different blends of polyester.
All topiaries for outdoor use have plastic leaves.
Some plants are made to be
one plant in a pot, such as a mum. Some need more than
one plant in a pot to be realistic, for example : The 3' Peace Lilly we sell comes
from the factory with 44 leaves per plant and not potted,
put two in a
pot and it has 88 leaves ( known as a double ), put three in a pot
and it has 132 leaves ( known as a triple ). In most cases it is not the height that is the biggest factor in determining a
plants value, it is how thick it is. Now you have to compare plants that
are "apples to apples" in the factors listed below in
blue.
There are tens of thousands of plants
for us to choose from. We
use our 32 years of
experience to choose only the best products on the market. We
examine every product we sell. The product must
meet our owners strict requirements
before the product becomes part of our product
line.
Factors that determine the value of a plant :
*
The entire products
construction.
* The amount, size, color, quality and realism of the
leaves, trunks or stalks.
* How realistic the plant is designed,
constructed and shapes
out.
*
The size of the pot the plant is potted in.
All
of these
factors determine a plants value, quality and longevity.

SILK PLANTS BEING USED OUTSIDE
Silk plants and
trees are meant to be used in low to medium light areas. Should a plant receive more light from one side that
is fading the plant, we suggest turning it periodically.
Topiaries with plastic leaves are better for
outdoor use than topiaries
with silk leaves.

ABOUT POTTING PLANTS
On plants that come not potted we
offer a professional way to pot a plant. We pot plant into a black plastic nursery
pot, adding weight, using expanding foam and cover foam with fake moss.
We have a foam dispensing machine with large tanks that is specially designed for
this purpose. A larger or proper size nursery pot can be
used.
To pot the plants yourself get a nursery pot
and cover the holes
with duct tape or use a paper mache pot and mix plaster paris or cement in it.
Usually 6" to 8" deep is
enough. When mixture is getting stiff put plant into pot. Put plant into
decorative container and fill space ( pine or cedar bark nugget works
well ).
|
NURSERY POTS
|
|
Below is the size of the
black plastic
nursery pots we use ( the size of the pot for plants that
come pre-potted is on their page ). This is important
in choosing new decorative containers or fitting into a
decorative container you already own. This
information is needed when decorative containers are not cylinder shaped such as clay,
fishbowls and
urns. |
