Artificial Plants FAQ

Artificial plants offer an easy way to add greenery to your home or office without the need for watering, sunlight, or ongoing maintenance. They look realistic up close and are designed to complement any decor, making them a popular choice for anyone seeking long-lasting, low-maintenance indoor greenery. Simply dust them occasionally to keep them looking fresh.

At Ashley, we understand that shoppers want stylish, high-quality artificial plants that suit their space and deliver reliable value. This FAQ guide was created to answer the most common questions about selecting, caring for, and decorating with artificial greenery.

What is the most realistic looking fake plant?

When shoppers ask which fake plant looks the most real, it depends on the materials used and the plant species being copied. Artificial plants with "Real Touch" technology and those that imitate plants with thick, waxy, or rigid leaves are typically the most convincing.

Plant species that naturally look better as faux

Some real plants already have a stiff or glossy look, making them ideal choices for lifelike artificial versions.

Succulents and Aloe Vera: Succulents have thick, rubbery leaves for water storage. High-quality faux versions made from silicone or sturdy plastic closely match this texture and appearance, making them hard to distinguish from the real thing.

Snake Plant (Sansevieria): Genuine snake plants feature straight, rigid, glossy leaves. Artificial snake plants replicate this upright shape easily, since the leaves don't need to drape or move for realism.

Fiddle Leaf Fig: Real Fiddle Leaf Figs have broad, textured, papery leaves. Well-made faux versions use textured fabrics with a polymer coating to copy the plant's semi-gloss finish and structure.

Rubber Plants (Ficus elastica): Live rubber plants have thick, shiny, dark green leaves that already seem artificial, so realistic faux rubber plants are very convincing.

Ashley offers an extensive artificial plants collection designed to fit a variety of indoor spaces and styles. Their range includes exceptionally realistic options for popular species like fiddle leaf figs and snake plants, providing reliable choices for shoppers seeking lifelike, low-maintenance greenery.

What are the best artificial indoor plants?

If you want to buy artificial greenery, focus on top-rated options that closely mimic the look and feel of real plants. The most natural-looking artificial indoor plants include faux olive trees with color-varied leaves and realistic trunks, artificial fiddle leaf figs with distinctive veining and bendable stems, and monsteras with split leaves in different sizes. Snake plants stand out for their textured leaves and subtle color banding, while trailing pothos and ivy offer lifelike stems and multi-toned leaves. These artificial plants work well on end tables, in bookcases, or as accents throughout your living space. Ashley offers a selection of artificial indoor synthetic plants and artificial hanging plants, along with other realistic options, designed to enhance your indoor spaces with low-maintenance style.

How to decorate with artificial plants?

Decorating with artificial plants is effortless, and the best part is that maintenance is simple. Take on decorating with artificial plants indoors the same way you would with real ones. Fake or real, plants bring a welcoming feel and brighten any space. With countless options for decorating, you can arrange your plants to complement your canvas art or as an eye-catching centerpiece.

Creating a plant corner in a spot with lots of natural light is one of our favorite tricks. You can even mix faux plants with real ones! If you prefer a less-is-more take, arrange small faux plants, like succulents, on your end table or opt for a larger plant to increase your home's aesthetic appeal.

You can take your faux plants to the next level by adding dirt to their pots to make them look like the real deal. Be sure to opt for faux plants that look the most realistic, like ficus trees, fiddle fig trees, ferns, eucalyptus trees, and trailing ivy.

How to choose the right artificial plants?

Choosing the right artificial plant or fake plants requires more than selecting an attractive option. Focus on how it fits and functions in your space. By evaluating materials, size, placement, and potting, you can find faux plants that blend seamlessly with your decor.

Evaluate the materials

Review product photos for material information. "Silk Plant" often means any fabric-leaf plant, not true silk. Look for labels like "Real Touch," "PE" (polyethylene), or "UV-resistant" for a realistic effect.

Consider sizing and scale

Artificial plants stay the same size, so pick a height that fits your room. Measure your ceiling and available area before buying.

For eight-foot ceilings, a six to six-and-a-half-foot tree works well. Vaulted ceilings may suit an eight or nine-foot plant. A tall planter or raised pot can add extra height.

Match the plant to the appropriate lighting

Placement affects realism. Avoid putting faux sun-loving plants in dark spots, this can break the illusion.

Place artificial olive, citrus, or succulent plants near windows or bright areas. For dimmer spaces, choose faux versions of low-light varieties like snake plants, pothos, or ZZ plants. Matching plant type to lighting makes artificial greenery look more authentic.

How to clean artificial plants?

To clean artificial plants, dust them regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster, or use a vacuum with a brush attachment. Always check the manufacturer's cleaning guide before proceeding, as some materials may require specific care. For a deeper clean, wipe the leaves with a damp microfiber cloth or rinse the plants gently under lukewarm water, then let them air dry. This routine keeps artificial greenery looking fresh and realistic in your home or office.
