Where did you find those plants? I can’t tell you how often I’ve been asked this since we moved into our new apartment. It’s funny. We have yet to buy what some would consider a home’s most crucial furniture (like a coffee table) but decorative faux greenery? Oh we are SET.
I tried the real plant route in our last place and it was a big fail. Our fiddle leaf fig tree (that I lugged home myself on foot from a small shop in the flower district) died a steady slow death within two years. Every succulent and leafy table plant I bought was gone within six months. Watching my plants die was not only frustrating, but a big fat waste of money.

So when it came time to move into our new place, I shamelessly ordered two faux fiddle leaf fig trees without hesitation after reading the positive reviews. Of course nothing looks as realistic as the real thing, but I’m really impressed with the ones I found and love how there’s no maintenance involved. I ordered two different heights: a 4.5″ foot and a 6.5 foot. We’ve yet to find a permanent home for these in our place, but I’m thinking one will eventually end up in our dining room and another in my office.
Looking for more faux plant options? These are some of the others on my wish list!

Oh, that’s really pretty. My house is devoid of greenery because I’ve learned the hard way that I’m a killer of plants. This is a great idea.

This is a very good blog indeed!

The real plants are way better than the fake ones. I am going to buy some to decorate my new rented apartment too. Thank you for sharing.

I have the same problem. For some reason plants just dont want to live in this apartment. This is just beautiful, you cant even tell that this is not a real plant!

I don’t think that leaf fig trees will turn my room fab and cute. The other kinds of plants can also personalize my house. Where can I buy those plants? Thank you Katies for tips.
