Silk orchid plants are almost maintenance free. You do not have to water them or give them fertilizer. Silk orchid plants will never wither.
Just keep them in a dry location and away from direct sunlight, because constant light will fade the colors.
Also keep the artificial orchid plants upright. If they lie down they will not retain their shape.
Cleaning the silk orchid plant
For an ordinary day cleaning just use a feather duster to make them look new and fresh.
Every three to six months it is okay to expose the silk orchid plant to water and direct sunlight; and that is when you are cleaning them.
Spray the silk orchid plant thoroughly with water. Then shake it to get the most of water off. Finally dry it in the sun for a couple of hours.
An easier solution is to use silk plant cleaner. You just spray and wait; no wiping or drying is necessary. You can find the silk plant cleaner on the Internet.
