"I don't have a green thumb."

"I'm rarely at home, I travel for extended periods."

"Cats nibble on plants, and it's dangerous for them."

These are just some of the arguments that outweigh the decision not to have natural flowers at home. Some homeowners do forget to water them, others have allergies, and still others fear that a flower (sometimes toxic!) might fall into the hands of a curious child. However, artificial flowers from Pepco can effectively replace live ones, becoming a fantastic decoration for the living room, dining room, bedroom, and rooms where there is not enough light for growing natural plants.

Artificial flowers have changed their appearance

What were artificial flowers associated with until recently? Many people avoided buying them for their homes, as they invariably reminded them of visits to the cemetery, not of decorating homes. In the past, artificial flowers were not very aesthetic, made of cheap plastic, and although they resembled real ones in shape and color, it was immediately obvious that they were not alive. They quickly gathered dust and were a questionable decoration in the living room. Today, artificial flower manufacturers are rising to the occasion, creating bouquets, potted flowers, and individual flowers and leaves from materials that can be colored, shaped, and are so delicate to the touch that they are an ideal imitation of flowers as delicate as roses, lilacs, or peonies. There is no shortage of tulips, lavender, roses, carnations, and other types of flowers that can be successfully placed in a vase or pot. What flowers can we buy at Pepco? How can we display them?

Artificial flowers for a vase, basket, pot

Artificial flowers have many advantages: they are durable, require no care, can be washed, stored in a cupboard, and taken out after some time, they are not harmful to animals and children, they do not need light, but most importantly, they look fantastic. Many Pepco customers may be surprised by how well they imitate real petals, stems, and leaves. Undoubtedly, they can be used to decorate the living room and other home spaces. Artificial flowers at Pepco are primarily potted plants that look like real ones, such as lavender or herbs. Since artificial plants do not need watering, they can be placed anywhere on a table, dresser, shelf, or bookcase. At Pepco, we offer not only classic pots, saucers, and vases but also trendy wicker baskets, plastic baskets, and wooden crates. They allow for the creation of unique compositions that can be placed on the dining table, in the bathroom, on a window, or on a balcony. Everything depends on the needs and ideas of our customers. We only suggest, inspire, and provide items and artificial flowers from which you can quickly and easily create any composition.

Artificial plants: large or small?

At Pepco, you can buy a variety of flowers and artificial plants. You can opt for tiny pots with plants that resemble herbs and place them on kitchen shelves, or you can choose a large plant that will fill an empty corner of the room. You no longer have to worry about watering, pruning, or repotting. Plants from Pepco look perfect all year round!

Terrarium in a jar

At Pepco, we have another idea for displaying plants in your home. A terrarium in a jar is another option for those who want to bring some greenery into their apartment. Artificial plants that closely resemble succulents are placed in small and large jars or glass bowls along with pebbles. They can be placed anywhere. Lighter containers with a glass terrarium can even be used to create hanging decorations, by attaching them to the wall, chandelier, a wreath made of willow twigs, and they are also worth hanging in the window. Artificial plants are not harmed even by strong sunlight.

We can also recommend our kitchenware to people who want to make their own terrarium in a jar. This time, it's worth using natural plants, but placed in a jar that retains moisture and makes the decoration look unique. In a large jar, typically used for storing dry food products, or even for making pickled cucumbers, there is soil, pebbles, moss, and small plants that grow slowly, requiring only misting or closing to regulate their ecosystem on their own. Besides the jar, you only need sand or gravel, charcoal from an aquarium store, universal potting soil, and moss, but you should not collect moss yourself. Moss is protected, so you have to buy it at a flower shop. Non-flowering plants such as ivy, ferns, or small trees feel great in such a jar.

Decorating your home with plants is the easiest way to fill empty corners, shelves, balconies, or windowsills. If you lack accessories, have no idea how to liven up your interior, choose a basket, pot, vase, or... a jar full of greenery.
