I’m one of those people that gets giddy even looking at a plant. Does it have to be real? Nope. Did you know there was a study done that shows that having a real or fake plant in your home, even one, boosts serotonin. Aaand just in case my mother-in-law or husband reads this, I just thought I should write that I can’t keep real plants alive. I’ve even killed cactus’s… I know, call me crazy. I’ve compiled a list of the top 5 best faux plants.
Top 5 Best Faux Plants
In January I was on a hard search for a fiddle leaf fig tree. If you haven’t seen these trees they are magical & pretty “in” with designers. They kind of kill me. Really. I have one and I move it around constantly because I love it so much. It’s currently in my dining room, but I had it beside my sofa for months. Yes, ‘months’ is a long time in my home.
Another one of my favourite plants right now is the rubber plant. I’m actually trying to keep a real one alive in my home and It’s doing okay, but I’ve been a bit anal on my research that I’ve done to keep my little guy alive. But if you’re one of those people that is rarely home, there are faux options for you!
Another one of my littles babies right now is the palm tree, but I think it’s half dead. Guys… I’m serious, I suck. I feel like I’ve 101 obligations in a day and my kids & business kind of trump any real thoughts in my brain. But It’s so so pretty. So this faux version is next on my “to buy” list.
Isn’t it funny how I have so many plants in my little tiny 1000 SQF home? I didn’t know I had this many until I wrote this post. I also love the olive tree. You can get these in smaller versions and I have a few, but I came across this STUNNING 4′ version and I’m kind of dying. How perfect is it? It would fit into any farmhouse style.
Okay, so next up on the list is succulents. I’m really into clean, vibrant green plants in Spring & Summer because they feel so summery. Don’t you think? I also kind of feel like I’m closer to the equator with them. haha… dreaming here!
So now that I’ve given you my top 5 favourite faux plants, here’s a few pictures of these plants in my home. I really do love being surrounded by greenery and I keep adding to my collection as time goes on. The best thing abut faux plants? When Christmas comes along, you can put them all in storage. Because lets be honest, who wants to compete with a Christmas tree!
and if you want a cheap & easy fix if you have zero room for additional plants. Grab my window idea with these free printables.
Well, for now friends, stay green. I gotta run to the post office to grab a parcel!
