What is the difference between a natural, preserved and permanent plant?
We all already know what the natural plant looks like. These are live plants that need care to remain beautiful and are, for the most part, used to decorate outdoor areas as they need sun and water to live.
On the other hand, the preserved plant is when the living plant goes through a chemical process in which it is preserved. Therefore, no care is needed as it will no longer grow and will have the same characteristics as the natural plant.
Finally, the permanent plants are the famous artificial ones. Made of plastic or rubber, they are copies of natural plants. This way, they don’t need care either. However, it is worth noting that the texture will be different.
If you still have any doubts about any of them, don’t worry. Let’s talk about them separately.

Preserved Plant
If you want to decorate with natural plants but don’t have the time or space to grow them at home, the best option to transform your space is preserved plants.
Basically, it is a natural plant that undergoes a chemical treatment that leaves it permanently beautiful.
This procedure involves dehydrating the plant and then adding chemicals. Therefore, the plant is able to maintain the same texture, movement and shape.
In other words, they replace live plants with something that won’t need light or water but will provide the same beauty in the space.
