big bushy silk plants for a sorority?

jesssan2442 · Apr 23, 2013

so I need some big bushy plants for my sorority my mom is scared of live plants because she's afraid we'll kill them and that would be a waste of money (she's probably right). so silk plants are the way to go this time, but none of my local stores sell a good variety of silk plants they only have plastic... I'd prefer for the plants to be relatively cheap but it isn't a must, I also don't mind backages of plants as long as they all fit the natural theme I'm going for. (rocks, driftwood, sand, and terra cotta pots). I would like some personnal recommendations not just "oh this plant looks nice" (no offense but I've already searched and searched). since my sorority is only a 10g I'm gonna make up for in with dense silk plants and LOTS of caves...

well now that I read that it seems kinda long so to sum it up I need big bushy silk plants with a reccommedation and link to website..

I don't know if this counts as big and "bushy", but I would recommend the round-leaved silk plant in the middle of my tank:

It's from Petco, but it comes in a 3-pack with 2 other plants. The plant on the left in the tank is one of them.

I've been searching for silk plants as well, and I've been told that you could go to any craft store and get their silk plants remove the metal parts(if they are any that could hurt the fish), glue some weight holders and they should be safe for a tank after a warm soak (I haven't tried this yet and don't know how well they work..).

I thought this would help because now you have a very wide range of what you can put in your tank and what you'd like to have in it.
