Artificial grass in a pot: features of choice

Artificial plants appeared in houses so long ago that not everyone remembers how they looked. And there were flowers made of corrugated paper, attached to birch twigs, before the May Day demonstration. It was a symbol of spring, the birth of a new life and the desire to decorate your house in such a simple way.

Later, the attitude to artificial flowers has changed a lot. And not for the better. In the nineties, the two thousandth quality of such products has improved significantly. These were not only single plants, but also bouquets in pots and baskets. Still, the appearance of such accessories in the house gave a dubious assessment to the owners.

And now everything has changed again. Artificial palm trees and orchids, wall flower beds and grass in pots became a sign of aesthetics. And the question to the buyer is not "why", but "how to choose."We will try to tell about it.

Special features

From a psychological point of view, green is positive emotions, calm and peace. This is one of the reasons why people started growing plants for their home. From early spring, pots with shoots of herbal spices and greenery appear in the kitchen. There is a unique aroma of spring. Artificial grass in pots will be associated precisely with such emotions.

In addition to the above, there are other features of decorating the premises with artificial plants:

  • modern artificial plants are outwardly indistinguishable from real ones, but they will delight with their appearance for much longer;
  • you do not need to be a professional to care for them;
  • this factor saves time;
  • high-quality artificial plants are made of polyethylene yarn, which does not cause allergies, because it has no smell;
  • pets have no desire to nibble and spoil flower pots;
  • floral insects do not develop in the ground and on plants;
  • in the design of any style, you can pick plants in pots;
  • replacing one plant with another can change the appearance of a room quite strongly;
  • tall grass in pots or vertical artificial plants will help to zone premises at no extra cost;
  • wide range will allow you to choose a plant of a suitable price category;
  • materials used for the production of plants, fireproof, wear-resistant, retain their color for a long time under the sun's rays.

Species

Speaking of artificial plants, it is worth noting that they are designed to perform various functions:

  • rolled artificial grass can serve as a covering for a lawn, a floor in the house and on a balcony, at offices and sports constructions;
  • even the windowsill can be protected in this way;
  • such material can be finished with mini-sofas and ottomans;
  • From this unusual material you can make lampshades, throw pillows or upholster a wall;
  • boxes and pots with artificial grass will hide the shortcomings of repair or children's drawings on the wallpaper; separate functional areas from each other; to act as a forbidden barrier;
  • ampellae pots with hanging grass and flowers will help get rid of the sensation of a well in homes with very high ceilings;
  • flowers, placed on the windowsills and shelves, will become an accent in the decor of the rooms;
  • tall plants will decorate empty corners and give comfort to a room of any size;
  • in a large winter garden it is enough to put a few strongly smelling live flowers so that their aroma suffices for a large number of artificial plants.

Thus, artificial plants are very different from each other and, depending on the variety, are used in completely different ways.

Dimensions

The size of the plant is also very different. Grass and flowers in pots can be a height of 10 cm, and the diameter does not exceed 10-centimeter flower pot. But there are higher specimens: spherical plants 40–90 cm high, grass sedge or other types of grass and flowers with narrow long leaves reach a height of up to 1 m. And bamboo, as it should be, has a height of up to 3 m.

In this case, you can pick up plants of the required length without any problems. To do this, you need to know where it will stand or hang and what function it will perform. Not only the height, but also the volume of the pot with the plant will depend on it.

For example, for artificial hedges or partitions, you can pick up tall grass (for example, bamboo) or other plants in pots that will be a real decoration.But the buyer can choose a different option to decorate his plot and home: artificial grass (norfolium or with curly leaves) in the form of a canvas, sold by the meter. Such a “plant” can be decorated with a fence or a wall in the house or used as a rug.

The price of products depends on the size, materials used, the pot and design in general.

You can buy a single bush of grass for 120 rubles, or a running meter of flat bamboo 2.2 m high at a price of 9,000 rubles.

Colors

Saying the word "grass" is seen, above all, green. And this is, indeed, the most popular color, which has a large number of shades. But he is not the only one. Imitating natural shades, manufacturers offer grass and other plants of various colors.

For example, you can buy zebra grass, which is a combination of white and green flowers. This calm coloring will soften the monotonous greens around or emphasize on a white background. There are ampelous flowers of pale green color or white lilies among green leaves. A lot of colored grass. For example, asparagus has several color shades that look very beautiful in a pot. And black calla among green foliage is generally an unusual sight.

If we talk about the combination of grass with flowers, then you can pick up very unusual and very beautiful bouquets. And this is the beauty of artificial plants, when in advance according to the catalog you can make a bouquet for home decor several years in advance.

How to choose?

Before you make a choice when buying any artificial plants, it is better to consult with a specialist. If there are allergies in the house, do not hesitate to ask the seller for a quality certificate. On this will depend on the health of the inhabitants of the house.

If the time for cleaning home space is sorely lacking, then it is better to purchase smooth-leaved plants. And it is the grass, not the flowers, that will be a salvation from the accumulation of dust.

If at the time of purchase there was a smell of plastic, this indicates a poor quality of the goods. Do not buy such products for the home.

To create home comfort you need to take into account the style of the room: grass in rectangular pots is very suitable for strict Hi – Tek. Small round pots with fluffy sedge will decorate Provence. Large floor vases of brick color with tall palm trees will suit the brutal loft.

For decorating any home, ample vases will be suitable for the holiday. They can be hung from the ceiling or on windows, walls and furniture.

If there are doubts in the purchase of such plants, it is never too late to turn to reviews on independent sites. It is there that users post their opinions about such products. With all the pickyness to find negative reviews we could not. Buyers like the variety of plants, ease of care, price diversity, quality of attachment. Some advise immediately to the simple pots in which plants are sold, to acquire suitable for the design of the house.

But if there is a possibility and desire, then an artificial plant can be made with your own hands. And the easiest way is to get some grass. To do this, in summer it is enough to dry the feather grass, reeds and dried flowers. And you can combine artificial flowers and dried plants.

In order for flowers, grass and trees to serve for a long time, you need to use the following recommendations of experts:

  • Once a week to carry out wet cleaning of plants. Some of them can be fully washed under running water, others can be sprayed with a solution of water and vinegar, and others can be wiped with a damp cloth. This will remove dirt and dust and disinfect the plants.
  • Quality material should not have a smell, but if you want to create it, you can use essential oils. Then the house will smell sweet aromas of delicate rose and lavender, fir and orange. Buy these drugs can be in pharmacies and traditional medicine stores. Creating your own composition, you can find a fragrance that has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and peaceful sleep.
