I was not born with a green thumb. In fact, plants silently scream when I near them. So now, I decorate with faux plants. The only maintenance that needs to be done is to give them a little shake outside to banish the dust. Time and time again I’m asked where I find my little fake greenies, so today I decided to create an epic roundup of the best faux plants for home decor.

A few years back, bought a real snake plant. Yes, it’s basically the easiest plant to keep alive, and that I can attest to that. Give it some water, set it in a corner, and forget it. However, I plopped it on the hardwood floor near a window and the condensation from the ceramic pot ruined my hardwood floors…and that is how the only real plant I owned met its death by curbside. There’s even lower maintenance greenery — the faux plant is the solution to my greenery woes.

Greenery really adds life to a room, so I find beautiful faux plants, I buy them immediately. My first purchase was the trending faux fiddle leaf fig tree that lives in the dining room. This silk plant doesn’t look plastic or cost a million dollars. Hands down, my favorite is this one, but the second and third runner-up is this one and this one.

Years ago, after declaring my love of faux plants on Instagram, I was shunned by interior designers. Back then, anything faux was a home decor no-no, but these days lovers of all things home decor seem to be singing a different tune. These plants are not your momma’s faux foliage.

This shot found on CB2 makes my heart sing! You’ve gotta check out this brass planter. The patina is perfection.

I tend to steer clear of anything too decorative when shopping for faux plants. Let’s be honest, you’re not fooling anyone with those glue raindrops, and yes, the berries with the plastic seams look, well, plastic-y. And that grassy hay in the pot? Tread lightly my friend and keep it simple.
