Gone over to fake plants in photo frames, but the dusting is a nightmare

Last month I swapped out a bunch of dried flower arrangements in cheap IKEA frames for those realistic fake ferns and eucalyptus sprigs from the craft store. It looked amazing for about a week, seriously gave my dining room that earthy vibe for like $20 total. But now I'm fighting a losing battle with dust settling in all the tiny leaves, and I can't just wipe them off without crushing the shape. Three years ago I swore by real pressed leaves from my yard, but they faded to brown within two months. My wife says the fake ones are cleaner and last longer, but I'm not sold since I'm spending every Sunday with a can of compressed air. Anybody else tried the fake plant wall art route, or should I just go back to kids drawings and save my sanity?

Compressed air every Sunday? Just ditch em and hang a mirror.
