When anyone has watched an oriental kung fu movie and has seen those beautiful bamboo trees moving back and forth in the breeze, they can attest to the elegance that is added to the scenery by these trees. So, you’re thinking that this wonderful ambiance would be the thing for your back yard. Of course it can, but you better make sure you are ready to clean up the mess the bamboo tree creates with its shedding. Oh yes, they can grow a mile a minute just like those weeds. Now for sure you wouldn’t want that type of plant with those problems in your home but you would like to have the atmosphere that could be created with a bamboo tree.
Well, there is an answer to that and you won’t have to worry about shedding or trimming at all. A beautiful silk bamboo tree is available in many sizes to fit the area that is needed in your home décor. If you need a 7’ tree or maybe one to sit on a table, you are in luck. With the choice of fullness of elegant green leaves, you can also have the natural trunks which adds to the ambiance of the décor. Worry free silk trees and silk flowering plants have become very important to the decorating tools used today.
The new artificial tree you just ordered is due to arrive and you are looking forward getting into place to help further your décor. If you have not ordered a tree online or have had one shipped to you before, you may find that the box that it comes in is somewhat narrower than you might expect. Most trees that are 8’ and under come in a box that is about 12” square. You might think that they made a mistake because your tree was supposed to be about 3-4’ in diameter. It will be that large as you arrange and move the branches outward.
Depending on what kind of tree you have ordered, will depend on how you shape the branches and leaves. A silk bamboo tree will be straighter upward whereas a silk ficus tree’s branches will have a slight curve out. Most all branches on silk trees have wire in them making it possible to bend them to the shape you desire. The main purpose of ordering that particular silk tree is to present it as close as possible to look like the real thing. Do a little research on the species of this particular real tree and what it looks like in the real world. This will help you to achieve the elegant look you are after.
When decorating any space, you need to understand the plant height needed for the areas you want to put them. You don’t want to put a 5’ tree on a table because it would be way to overbearing and, in the same token, you wouldn’t want to put a plant standing 24” in height in the corner on the floor. When dealing with live flora, you sure need to have protection for your tables or floor so they don’t get ruined from moisture, while with silk plants you won’t have that problem.
For a tabletop tree, a good size is 24” to 36” height and, with some silk plants or silk trees you can shape them for that area. Using a silk plant or silk tree, choose one that has a little larger leaf because they are meant to be noticed. In most cases, for a corner area, you would want to choose a slimmer and taller silk tree such as a silk bamboo tree. Using some of these ideas will enhance the elegance of your décor and give you peace of mind. Remember, there are more pluses for using silk plant and silk trees and they will last several times over live plants and will keep their beauty with minimal maintenance.
