Plants have always been in the style, but recently small artificial plants become an essential part of home decor. Gone are the days when only those with the greenest thumb could incorporate greenery into their spaces — but today with the real-looking fake plants you can feel and get the same vibes.

Someone who is incapable of keeping the plants alive or doesn’t have much time for their maintenance can become a proud parent of artificial plants.

Small artificial plants are a great way to add a splash of greenery to your indoors and the best part is they can easily be incorporated into any decor style. They are so much better than real plants. For one, you can’t kill them. They are built to last years so you don’t really need to worry about their upkeep. And yes, you can easily move them from one room to another without worrying about the heatwave or snowstorm.

Here are a few reasons why fake plants are the way to go:

Keeping up with the real plants is not an easy job. Not every plant has the same requirements and let’s be honest most of us are too busy to remember the particular water needs and sun exposure. Even when you remember to water, fertilize, and prune your real plants regularly, there’s no chance that they will survive.

That’s why fake plants are the best substitute for real ones. They require low to zero maintenance. Just keep them anywhere and they will look beautiful. No need to worry about fertilization, regular watering, spraying chemicals, or sun exposure.

Most real plants tend to die in the colder months. They either start shredding or start looking sad when the colder weather approaches. Many don’t require much water in winters and if you end up watering them a lot, they could die.

On the other hand, this is not the case with artificial plants. They are in all year round. They look green and alive in all seasons.

With real plants, you are only limited to certain areas where you can place the plants as they require good sunlight and other conditions. It is hard for the real ones to adjust to the level of humidity or cold.

Whereas with faux plants there are no such limitations. You can place your small artificial plants even in the coldest or darkest corners of your home. And because there’s no risk of killing them, you can place artificial plants wherever you want and they will look good everywhere.

Just like a pet or child, fake plants will last you a lifetime. You don’t have to continue spending money on them to make them look happy. You just need to spend on them once and they won’t ask you for anything again.
