UV-resistant artificial plants for outdoors

UV-resistant artificial plants for outdoors

UV-resistant artificial plants for terraces, balconies and entrances

Outdoors, an artificial plant has a tough time: bright sunlight, rain, wind and frost. As a result, ordinary artificial plants discolour within a season. Our UV-resistant artificial plants are made with UV stabilisers in the material, so they keep their colour for years. Ideal for hotel and restaurant terraces, roof terraces, balconies, entrances, indoor gardens and spaces with lots of glass.

• ✓ UV-resistant: does not discolour quickly in direct sunlight
• ✓ Weather-resistant: resistant to rain and changing temperatures
• ✓ Maintenance-free: no watering, pruning or overwintering
• ✓ Partly also fire-retardant: for covered terraces and public spaces

Which artificial plants can be placed outdoors?

In this category you will find all our UV-resistant artificial plants: artificial palms such as the Areca, Japanese bamboo, the boxwood artificial hedge, olive and laurel garlands, ornamental grasses, lavender and UV-resistant hanging plants for pergolas and balustrades. For façades and fences, there are the CoolPlantWall® panels and the Basic green wall.

Tips for artificial plants outdoors

• ✓ Weigh down the planter with gravel, sand or floral foam so that the plant does not blow over
• ✓ Choose a sheltered spot in strong wind, or secure the plant more firmly
• ✓ Rinse occasionally with water to remove dust and pollen
• ✓ Extreme winter weather: preferably bring smaller plants indoors for a while

Fire-retardant and UV-resistant

For covered terraces, conservatories, atriums and public spaces, choose a product that is both UV-resistant and fire-retardant. You can recognise these by both icons in the photo.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a UV-resistant artificial plant stay looking good?

Thanks to the UV stabilisers in the material, the plant keeps its colour for years. Exactly how long depends on the intensity of the sun and the location.

Can artificial plants stay outside in winter?

UV-resistant artificial plants are weather-resistant. In extreme frost, snow or storms, we advise bringing smaller plants indoors for a while or securing them more firmly.

How do I secure an artificial plant outdoors?

Weigh down the pot or planter with gravel or sand, or secure the plant in floral foam. With large plants, you can secure the trunk further.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a UV-resistant artificial plant stay looking good?

We offer a 3-year guarantee. Five years of colour retention is realistic, and in practice many plants even stay looking good for 7 to 8 years. Exactly how long depends on how much direct sunlight the plant gets.

Can artificial plants stay outside in winter?

Yes, rain and frost do little harm. Do place the pot firmly or weigh it down, so the plant does not blow over in strong winds.

Is a UV-resistant artificial plant also fire-retardant?

Sometimes. Part of the range is both. In that case, the name says “fire-retardant & UV-resistant”. That is useful for hospitality terraces and public buildings.
