It's possible to have green decor flair without an ounce of high maintenance care. If you, like me, frequently buy plants to liven up your space with the best of intentions, only to have them die a few months later, perhaps it's time to embrace the faux plant trend.
Over the years I've invested in beautiful fresh orchids, low-maintenance snake plants and succulents, and even ambitiously tried out ferns and monstera plants. Despite my efforts at giving them proper sunlight, water, and tender care, they have all died. Some lasted a few months while others managed to thrive for a couple of years, but in the end, they all bit the dust. Let's face it — some of just do not have the green thumb.
Fake plants used to mean shiny plastic and obviously fake leaves that would never pass for the real deal even from across the room, let alone up close. But these days, verdant dupes have gotten much better and many big retailers like Target, Wayfair, Pottery Barn, The Sill, and more sell a wide variety of artificial plants and flowers. Now it's easier than ever to create an indoor jungle oasis without the hassle of upkeep.
From fiddle leaf fig trees to succulents, and arrowheads, try these artificial plants and say goodbye to ever needing to wonder if you remembered to water again.
