These faux plants look EXACTLY like the real thing

With the current trend to add as much greenery as possibly inside the home showing no sign of ending, those among us without greenthumbs are left wondering what to do? Do we just keep buying new plants only to watch them wilt? Thankfully, many faux indoor plants these days look like the real deal like the above range from Oz Design Furniture.

The colour, and the texture all match up to the real deal. And what’s more, no watering, no fertilising, all they need is the occasional dust! Perfect! With winter coming on, it might be harder to keep real plants indoors knowing they might not be getting the light they need. This is the easy solution.

West Elm

Faux Potted Trailing Succulent from West Elm

Don’t go for over-the-top silky colorful florals, let’s face it, we all know they’re fake, go for lush greenery. Faux succulents work well like these Faux Potted Trailing Succulents from West Elm. They look great in the bathroom.

Mocka

Fiddle leaf figs, banana trees, ferns, and bird of paradise also work well. Mocka’s faux Bird of Paradise Artificial Plant is a stunning piece of indoor greenery. The realistic appearance is modelled from a real Bird of Paradise, is available in two different sizes, 120cm or 160cm high plants for a tall and luxurious pop of greenery in a room.

 

Faux plants are perfect for busy families as well as businesses, holiday homes, anyone who travels often or just doesn’t have the time to tend to live house plants. With a carefree, faux house plant, you can still enjoy all the style benefits, without getting your hands dirty. Faux-tastic!
