Adding houseplants to our homes has many benefits. But not everyone is, shall we say, talented at keeping houseplants alive—although they might still like to take advantage of having a home filled with greenery.
Fear not, because there are faux plant options that give the look and feel of real houseplants without the maintenance of trying to keep them alive. Unlike the fake houseplants of the past, modern faux plants really look like plants. From lifelike fiddle leaf trees and hanging pothos plants to lookalike orchids, there's a faux plant for every home aesthetic.
If you love the look of a statement tree but can't seem to keep one thriving, an artificial fiddle leaf tree is a perfect addition. This one comes in three different height variations (up to 8 feet) and features large, sculptural leaves.
