Using artificial flowers allows you to get creative with your spring home décor. From floral wreaths to garlands and various arrangements, there’s something to suit every space. One of the more popular ways to highlight the season’s blooms is to use hanging baskets to create a more balanced look. Read our quick guide to learn how to choose artificial hanging baskets for your space, where to place them, and how to care for them.
What Are Hanging Baskets?
Hanging baskets are faux flower arrangements suspended from hooks. You often see them on front porches, but you can also hang them on doors, windows, and corners of a room. Using artificial flower hanging baskets is a convenient way to display seasonal blooms at eye level if you lack space for potted plants or vases.
How Long Do Artificial Hanging Baskets Last?
Your artificial hanging baskets will last for years with minimal care, unlike live fern plants and outdoor plants that need constant attention. With quality materials, you can expect them to maintain their vibrance for many seasons, depending on how much sun and weather they face.
How Should I Take Care of My Artificial Hanging Baskets?
To maintain the appearance of your artificial flowers, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning and storage. Wipe the petals and leaves with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid using water or chemicals to prevent damage to the material. Store them in a cool, dry place during the off-season.
For outdoor flower displays, choose Balsam Hill’s outdoor-safe florals with UV protection to prevent fading and sun damage. It’s best to display them outside for up to three months each year to maintain their bright colors.
