Some ultra-realistic models incorporate foam, latex, silicone, or polyurethane in “Real Touch” finishing materials that emulate the soft, waxy feel of actual foliage and flowers. In eco-conscious production, manufacturers may use recycled plastics or plant-based fibers and apply UV‑resistant additives to reduce fading over time. Decorative appeal aside, artificial plants offer distinct advantages: maintenance‑free design, no watering or pruning; allergen- and pest-free; and safe for homes with pets or sensitive occupants. Moreover, they stay perennially vivid in hue and shape—never wilting or shedding—and are versatile enough for placement anywhere, including low-light indoor corners or outdoor shaded patios.
