https://community.qvc.com/t5/Home/Getting-rid-of-fake-plants-should-I-do-it/m-p/40635#M696 <P>I was listening to Nate Berkus a few days ago and he recommends getting rid of fake plants for a more "organic" look to the home. I have several large silk plants that were rather expensive (for my budget). One is a 9' tree and another is a large fern.</P> <P>I can grow plain old ivy, but since we travel so much, I don't want to return to dead plants. The truth is, I'm tired of these silk plants too. I use the hair dryer to dust the leaves, but don't enjoy this at all. On the positive side, they do give the livingroom a softer feel, and if I get rid of them, what do I replace them with? Anyone have any opinions on this?</P> Wed, 16 Mar 2011 15:42:51 GMT Q Customer Cleo 2011-03-16T15:42:51Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Home/Getting-rid-of-fake-plants-should-I-do-it/m-p/40635#M696 <P>I was listening to Nate Berkus a few days ago and he recommends getting rid of fake plants for a more "organic" look to the home.
