Artificial plants bring the softness of greenery with none of the upkeep. They stay lush through every season and in every light, adding life and colour to corners where real plants would struggle, and never asking for water or a sunny windowsill.

Choosing the Right Artificial Plants for Your Space

Scale to the spot first. Tall trees of 120 to 180cm fill floor corners, medium plants suit sideboards and shelves, and small pots add life to desks and windowsills. The most convincing plants use varied leaf tones, subtle veining and flexible branches you can shape, all of which help them read as real from across the room. Higher quality plants use silk or fabric leaves and moulded stems, with a UV resistant finish for sunny spots and a weighted or fillable base for taller pieces.

Key Features to Look for in an Artificial Plant

• Height and spread: match the scale to the room and the corner it will fill.
• Leaf detailing: varied tones, natural veining and no repeating pattern across the foliage.
• UV resistant finish: essential for sunny windows, patios and anywhere with strong afternoon light.
• Base and stability: a weighted or fillable base for taller plants so they do not topple.
• Flexible stems: branches you can bend and shape to suit the space.
• Pot finish: whether it comes ready to display or is designed to sit inside your own planter.

Artificial Plant Questions, Answered

Do artificial plants look realistic?

Quality faux plants are remarkably convincing, using varied leaf tones, natural veining and flexible stems. From a short distance they are hard to tell from real greenery.

How do I clean artificial plants?

Dust regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster, and for a deeper clean wipe with a damp cloth or use a cool hairdryer to lift dust from dense foliage.

Can artificial plants go outside?

Some can, provided they are UV resistant. In strong Australian sun, plants without UV protection can fade, so choose a UV rated plant for outdoor or bright spots.

Where do artificial plants work best?

Because they need no light to thrive, faux plants shine in dim hallways, bathrooms and windowless corners where real greenery struggles.

How do I make an artificial plant look more convincing?

Shape the branches so they sit unevenly rather than symmetrically, since real plants are never perfectly balanced. Sitting it in a ceramic pot of your own with a layer of pebbles or moss over the base hides the plastic and does more for realism than anything else.

What height should I choose for a floor corner?

For a standard 2.4m ceiling, a tree between 150cm and 180cm reads well without crowding the space. Beside a sofa, aim for something that sits a little above the back of it. Under a stairwell or a raked ceiling, you can go taller.

Will a tall plant tip over?

Taller trees ship in a light pot for freight, so they need weight added at the base. Filling the pot with sand, gravel or a bag of dry cement mix settles it firmly, which matters in a home with children, pets or a doorway that catches the breeze.

Do the leaves get squashed in transit?

Foliage is compressed for shipping and looks flat when unboxed. Bend each branch outward and fluff the leaves by hand, working from the trunk out, and the plant fills back into shape within a few minutes.

Are they safe around pets and children?

There is nothing toxic to eat as there is with many real houseplants, which is a genuine advantage. That said, leaves and small decorative stones can be chewed off and swallowed, so keep an eye on curious pets and toddlers around a new plant.

How long do artificial plants last?

Indoors and out of direct sun, many years. The thing that ages them is ultraviolet light, so a plant in a bright north facing window will fade far sooner than the same plant in a hallway. Choose UV rated pieces for any sunny position.
