How Are Fake Plants Made?

What are artificial plants made of?



As winter approaches and night falls, most of us miss green leaves and flowers. While the first few chilly mornings are exciting and the occasional dark night is a great opportunity to enjoy an evening with friends or alone, the constant dullness outside can quickly become tiresome.

What are artificial plants made of?



Most modern artificial plants and flowers are made of high-quality plastics and fabrics. These fabrics and plastics look and feel real, so you often need to touch them to know they are fake, and even then, many of the rubbery-looking plants are very realistic.

Polyester – This has become one of the most popular fabrics for artificial flower petals due to its low cost, durability, and ease of accepting glues and dyes.

Polyethylene (PE) – This is the most ubiquitous form of plastic in the world and is used in a wide variety of products. You’ve probably been a few feet away from polyethylene right now (or even closer!). These products can often be recycled, but this depends on what other materials are used. This is one of the most popular materials used for flower and leaf stems, as well as berries and fruit.

Silk – Artificial flowers and some leaves are still made from natural silk, but most “silk” flowers and leaves today are made from synthetic or other natural fibers, such as rayon and cotton.

Silk is not always easy or cost-effective to source, so many manufacturers advertise their plants or flowers as “silk-style” rather than real silk. While florists once looked down on artificial and dried plants, silk flowers are now revered for their versatility. Today, florists even use them to decorate live plants and mix them with fresh flowers. This tradition is said to have been started by the Chinese, who perfected the art of making exquisite floral replicas, but it was the Europeans who turned silk flower making into a business.

Wood – Many of our artificial plants use real wood or bamboo for the trunks or stems of the plants to give them a realistic look and feel.

Metal – Many artificial flowers and plants will use metal wire to shape the plant to provide structure or allow for different positions, which may be necessary for flower arrangements. As you can imagine, the metal is not visible in the plant or flower, but it helps to maintain its structural integrity and shape.

Thermoplastic (Polystyrene) – This synthetic polymer is made from a monomer called styrene. Polystyrene can be solid or foamy, but general-purpose polystyrene is hard, brittle, and transparent. It is an inexpensive material that is often used to make custom boxes for packaging and posting plants. Some manufacturers make holes in the bottom to allow for drainage – in which case the thermoplastic container can be used as a plant pot.

Rubber – It may seem funny to make artificial plants out of rubber, since natural rubber itself is made from plants. But rubber can be a good alternative, especially if it responds well to UV treatment. It is lightweight, durable, and easy to source, making it a popular choice for artificial plants today.
