Faux… but Amazon
So, you want to add some greenery to your home, but keeping real plants alive isn't exactly your forte. Samesies! Faux plants are here to save the day, giving you all the lush vibes without the "oh no, I forgot to water it" guilt. But let’s be real—some fake plants can look, well, super fake. Here are some tips on how I have lucked out in snagging the most realistic faux plants on Amazon.
Numero uno: Materials matter baby!
When it comes to faux plants, not all materials are created equal. The ones made from high-quality silk or a fancy polyester blend are your best bet. They’ve got that real-plant vibe going on. I feel ya though, it can be challenging to spot good materials online. Here is a tip: if you see a plant made of shiny plastic, just keep scrolling. Trust me, your space deserves better!
Nearly Natural
It’s not just a clever name—it's the brand! I've snagged a few of their artificial trees, and I’ve gotta say, they’re spot on—100% nearly natural
Numero Dos: The real MVP are the customer reviews
Before you hit that “Buy Now” button, do yourself a favor and dive into the customer reviews. The real gems are the ones with photos—because let’s face it, those slick product pics can be deceiving. Actual customer snaps will show you what the plant really looks like when it’s chilling in someone’s living room.

I’ll be real—hunting down artificial florals online is no walk in the park. I must’ve spent hours buried in reviews before finally grabbing these blossom branches, fully ready to send them back if they flopped. But guess what? They were so good, I went back for two more!
Numero tres: The devil is in the details
The secret to a convincing faux plant is in the details. Look for ones with leaves that have different shades of green, some texture, and maybe even a few imperfections (because who’s perfect, anyway?). The more varied and detailed the leaves, the more likely it is to fool even your most plant-savvy friends. And don’t forget your planters. A stylish planter can make or break the whole vibe. If the plant comes in a cheap-looking pot, it’s going to drag the whole thing down. Look for plants with planters that complement the plant’s style. Or, you know, just buy your own snazzy pot to upgrade the look!

I thought these cute little plants were just a winter thing, but nope—they’re totally timeless. Got one in the laundry room, another flexing on the kitchen counter. Small but low-key powerful—they vibe up any room without even trying.
Finding a faux plant that doesn’t scream “I’m fake!” is easier than you think. Just keep these tips in mind, and you’ll have a plant that looks so real, even you might forget it’s not! Now, go forth and fill your space with fabulous, no-maintenance greenery. Your future plant-parent self will thank you!
