These Artificial Plants and Flowers Are So Gorgeous You Can't Tell They're Fake

Every great room needs a touch of green. And while decorating with houseplants has never been more popular, keeping said houseplants alive and thriving can be challenging, particularly when it comes to moderating natural light inside.

Enter the artificial houseplant, also referred to by the euphemism "silk plant" or "faux foliage." Whatever you call them, these products have gotten a whole lot more stylish over the past few years. And although they do require some cleaning, their leaves never turn yellow or drop; they don't need watering, fertilizing, or optimal sunlight; and they don't ever outgrow their pots. Bonus: They are also child- and pet-safe.

Whatever your plant preference, from large-scale trees and elegant orchids to tiny succulent families, there are beautiful artificial options that will refresh your interiors with maintenance-free greenery—and none of your guests will be the wiser. Use them to re-create the look of your favorite iconic garden room by "planting" them in a stylish pot or planter and mixing them in with other chic floral furnishings and accessories.
