How to create an artificial bouquet?
First, gather your favourite artificial flowers, leaves, and a matching vase. Select different colours and heights for a playful effect.
- Start with your favourite flowers: place them in the centre so they stand out. Think of your composition: try to vary in height. Position tall flowers in the middle and arrange shorter flowers around them.
- Enhance your bouquet with greenery: this completes the look. Opt for artificial green leaves or branches and watch your bouquet come to life (not literally, of course).
- Find a vase that complements your bouquet and style. Trim the stems to fit the vase. Tie them together if needed and enjoy!

Why choose an artificial plant?
For anyone who feels disappointed when their houseplant starts to wilt or develops brown edges, artificial plants are the perfect solution. Discover the benefits of artificial plants:
- Maintenance-free: Artificial plants require no watering, feeding or other plant care.
- Extended lifespan: Artificial flowers last and will not wither away (which also saves money).
- Suitable for any spot in the house: Even for your toilet or attic room without windows. Artificial plants don't need natural light.
Artificial flowers perform well day and night without any drops of water, love, or attention. That sounds plantastic, doesn't it?
Artificial plants: art or kitsch?
Do you also get that wonderful feeling from a beautiful bouquet, but don't want to spend money on a new bouquet every week? Replace some fresh flowers with artificial flowers (these days, you can hardly tell the difference) and thereby extend the lifespan of your bouquet. Or, for example, combine real flowers with artificial ones! The fun thing about an artificial bouquet is that you can go all out. Opt for striking showstoppers and style your bouquet how you like.

Do you want more greenery in your home? Choose artificial leaves
You don't have enough space for a large houseplant in your room? No problem. With just a few artificial leaves, you can brighten up your space. Put different artificial leaves in various glass vases for a playful effect. This is also very nice for the bedroom, bathroom, or toilet. This way, you can easily bring more greenery into your home and truly bring your space to life. And all that without any sip of water...
Cleaning artificial plants
Cleaning artificial plants is simple. Artificial plants do need an occasional cleaning. Not because they won't grow otherwise, but to prevent them from accumulating dust and looking dull. Use a cleaning cloth, dampen it, and gently wipe the leaves. This will remove any dust or dirt and ensure your plant looks fantastic again.
