The 10 Most Popular Fake And Artificial Houseplants

Are you looking to do a little sprucing around your home but not sure how to get started? How about incorporating some faux-ever freshness into bland, boring spaces with the help of an artificial plant that can instantly evoke a hint of natural beauty. As most (interior) decorators are aware, greenery has a huge impact on our home; not only can it easily transform a space with verdant tones, but it can fill a void space by creating an attractive focal point that would otherwise go unnoticed. And while living, breathing plants can help cleanse air and its pollutants, they also require maintenance and strict diligence to ensure they thrive in their dedicated spaces. However, if you lack a green thumb, invest in an artificial replica that will remain faux-ever fresh and beautiful no matter how little attention or love you give it. If you’re drawing a blank on where to start, today we’re sharing just a few of the most popular houseplants and how you can easily achieve their same lifelike quality with an artificial replica.

Fiddle Leaf Figs

Having grown in popularity with the help of Instagram, the Fiddle Leaf Fig tree takes the cake for one of the most popular house plants. Because they require a good amount of light, the artificial replica of this tropical tree is a great alternative for those who don’t have enough natural light in their homes. Ranging in various sizes, you can opt for a tall, thinner version or even a more robust option for smaller spaces that could use a burst of life.

Spathiphyllum

Air Plant

Popular amongst those that love to create their own mini terrariums and miniature gardens, air plants are a great go-to for those looking for minimal upkeep.

Bromeliad

In the natural world the bromeliad is a high-maintenance plant, often found nestled in the trees so that they can have access to unlimited light and proper aeration for their roots.

Better yet, the vivid blossoms showcased throughout are a great way of evoking instant (maintenance-free) freshness wherever displayed. Shop All Fake and Artificial Bromeliad Plants here.

Croton

If you’re looking for a serious pow factor, the croton is your go-to. While they project instant freshness and easily brighten, living crotons can be quite harmful if consumed in large quantities.

Philodendron

Often displayed with tendrilling foliage, philodendrons are a great way of utilizing greenery to elevate vertical spaces.
