I've started doing this to our front yard flower bed after hundreds of $$ spent on plants that just die. I dint think about spraying with UV protectant to prevent fading.
Fabulous! Too bad the sellers don't inform buyers of the need for poly spray. Most of the reviews complain of fading. I live on The Big Island with 120" of rain and tons of hot sun too. I try to mostly "plant" in the shade, but the sun areas are holding up well. I still need to figure out how often to spray them?? Once a month, twice a year? Any suggestions?🤔🏝

Hi Shelby! These plants hold up for a few seasons in sunlight + normal rain and wind. We always recommend giving them a good coating of UV protectant spray which helps to keep the color from fading. www.afloral.com/products/copy-of-krylon-clear-matte-uv-floral-protective-spray-11-oz-ground-shipping-only
@@Afloral thank you so much - I am definitely placing an order this week!!!! Especially since I can’t seem to remember to water my real plants after about a month or so. 🤣😂

@@Afloral the floral spray is ridiculously expensive. And the polyurethane spray is up to $6 a can from $3. I was using theMatte, but found out the gloss doesn't make them shine much and is even stronger. Even the hydrangeas feel as hard as cardboard... it works great without spending any more money than I have to!🥰

Hi Robin, yes we will be getting them back but they're currently on backorder so we don't have a forecast date on when we're expecting them.

Hi there, do you not worry about the pots filling with water? I want to do some very large ones around my pool and don’t want them filling up with water but also don’t want to put a hole in the planter because I don’t want the mulch water draining out the bottom and staining the pool decking. Wondering if I should seal it off somehow? Thoughts?
Hi there! We recommend you place your artificial outdoor flowers out of direct sunlight (a shaded porch is perfect). We also recommend spraying them with a UV protectant spray which you can find online or at your local craft store.
We are happy to help! To make your faux flowers look as natural as possible: - Fluff and shape each stem to give it a natural curve. - Mix in greenery like eucalyptus or ferns for texture. - Use varying heights in your arrangements for a natural flow.

Looks so realistic. You can put some small rocks in the bottom to weight the pots as well.
Yes! This is also such a great idea! 🥰
Sometimes I just use kitty litter for weight. Love your ideas. ❤🎉
You make it look simple and amazing too
Thank you! Cheers!
@@Afloralhow do one keep the wind from not blowing them away??
Cool! Looks great
Thank you!

Thank you for telling us what the spray was. Thanks
Brilliant idea in the past I,very bought lovely plants to be destroyed by bad weather or die. I,m doing this now in future.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Liked and subscribed.
Best idea ever
I love this gives me ideas on what to do! I was wondering where did you get the first stuff you planted, the green ones? Thanks!

How do these artificial plants hold up to getting wet from the rain? I'd love to do something like this in the window boxes.

Hi Rabiale! We'd suggest using a saucer below your planters. This will allow the water to drain out and not stain your pool deck.
What about the sun fading them ?
Hi there! We recommend you place your artificial outdoor flowers out of direct sunlight (a shaded porch is perfect). We also recommend spraying them with a UV protectant spray which you can find online or at your local craft store.
