Silk Plants Direct

Generally, when any of you guys hear the term, “artificial trees”, the immediate picture that must be coming to your mind is that of a cheap looking tree with tattered silk flowers and leaves. However, this doesn’t hold true for the modern day silk trees. The development that has taken place in the field of artificial trees in the last five years has been tremendous.

Artificial silk trees are no longer just cheap pieces of decoration; they are the ideal replacements for real trees. This is because silk trees, nowadays, look and feel almost like real trees but do not carry along with them, the enormous burden of maintenance. They never require watering, pruning and do not attract insects and pests. This is because they do not possess pollen grains which also make them the perfect choices for people who have the problem of tree allergies.

Also, the flowers present on real trees tend to die or wither because they have a fixed life span. This is not the case with silk trees whose flowers continue to stand in all glory for as long as you want them to, provided you take the few necessary measures to maintain them. The flowers on artificial trees are in full bloom so that you don’t have to wait for them to do so.

However, some of you may think that artificial trees are a one-time investment. It is essential for you to know that even while they may seem completely maintenance free, some maintenance is still required. Whenever silk tree gets dirty, it is mandatory that you must clean it to remove all the dust. If dust accumulates over a period of time, silk trees tend to become weak and will lose their charm. You also need to make sure that the materials used to produce such trees are fire proof.

If you think that silk trees cannot replicate the authentic effect that a real tree has, then you are heavily mistaken. New technologies like real touch are designed to make silk trees feel the same way as real trees feel. Therefore, silk trees can be a great addition to your house or workplace décor.

Are you irked with a dull and monotonous corner of your business place or home? Do you want some change from your dreary surroundings? Consider creating the landscape of a beautiful oasis that will captivate every onlooker with its uniqueness and sophistication.

Artificial cactus plants and flowers can surely grant your interior as well as exterior setting a truly exotic desert landscape. You can also combine other desert elements like sand, old scarred rocks shaped by Desert Rivers, shrunken tree branches and withered shrubs to give an authentic feel.

The first thing that comes to our minds when we talk about desert vegetation is Cactus. Consider the artificial Cactus plant which requires no maintenance and looks no less than the authentic Cactus plant. These artificial Cactus plants also consist of prickly needle that make them even classier. What I like the most about these artificial cactus plants is that their stems look so authentic that no one can figure out whether it’s an artificial cactus or a real one. Some cactus plants are also available in two shades of green which makes the plant look even more lifelike. Introducing these artificial cactus plants create an enticing desert landscape arrangement.

Also consider displaying silk succulents and palm trees that will further make this desert landscape authentic looking. If you are looking to create a large desert landscape arrangement for a special occasion, an office building entrance or some outdoor area, then consider using large artificial cactus plants. You can also add some fake animals like rattlesnakes, desert worm snakes, pronghorn antelopes, desert iguanas, hedgehogs and others that will further ameliorate your desert landscape.

So, go on and create a scenic landscape of a Colorado desert in your own interior or exterior areas.

The conquest for developing artificial trees, that may perform better than natural trees, has intensified with research in full gear. The goal is to develop artificial trees that can absorb environmental CO2, a thousand times faster than real trees. While this research is in progress in Arizona, there is yet another effort underway in Spain where silk trees that capture the equivalent amount of CO2 as 90 eucalyptus trees are being tested.

Professor Klaus Lackner at Columbia University and also the co-founder of Global Research Technologies (GRT) in Tucson, Arizona has been working on carbon capture and storage since 1995. Lackner has been working on a device that captures and stores CO2 since 1995. The molecules of atmospheric CO2 passes over the leaves of the artificial tree which contains a chemical absorber and the molecules get attached to them. This absorbed CO2 will require some energy for the removal, compression and liquefaction of its molecules.

Lackner and GRT have discovered a sorbent material that requires low energy for the removal of CO2 molecule which is 80% efficient. The liquefied CO2 can be stored under the ocean which will stay there and can be re-used for a variety of purposes.

Meanwhile in Spain, the silk trees which capture CO2 equal to 90 eucalyptus trees are being put to the test which will help in reducing the carbon footprint from factories and automobiles. These trees look like lamp posts and can be customized according to the usage. There are also cell phone towers with silk plants and trees installed across Spanish cities like Valencia, Barcelona and Castellon.

There are also other efforts being put together to develop artificial trees in such a way that they would help the environment and Mother Nature!
