Silk Plants  

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
Where do you get silk plants? I need a couple for a spot in my house and I ran all over town today to all the "big box" stores, Michaels, Lowes, Target...and found virtually NOTHING.

I could walk into any nursery and get real ones of exactly what I am looking for, but no one has silk plants?

I dont even care if they are good quality, just have a certain size/plant fern in mind.

Feel free to lecture me on the fact that real plants cclean the air and dont contain plastic.

But where the heck do you buy a fake plant?!?!?!?!

My Walmart has them, don't know if you are willing to go there or not. Is there a Garden Ridge in your area? They always have the best selection. Hobby Lobby also has a good selection (and love Hobby Lobby as a company!).

why don't you want real plants? afterall, they do clean the air and better yet, they aren't plastic!!! Really, it is so calming and pleasing to gaze upon a live plant in your home. There are so many that are low maitenance such as spider plants and philadendron.

Well, I tend to kill plants within about a month. And then I have dead plants. I am looking for a 3-4' fern to frame out our new TV (and hide it a little bit )

Plants RUN when they see me coming.

I might try it. Because I am sick of looking for silk!

Silk plants always look perfect.

Check this out.

Says it will practically grow in the dark

most info I find on it has it as an outside plant. The one I have has always been an inside plant. Though I have put it outside a few times to wash it and either the geese or donkey ate it down. Oops
