42 Artificial Plants, Trees, and Flowers That Don't Look Fake
While it's easier than ever to buy live plants online, sometimes, despite our best intentions, those live plants become, well, dead plants. Artificial plants — fake plants, silk plants, faux foliage, or whatever you want to call them — offer a simple solution. They'll never outgrow their pots, the leaves will never droop down and turn yellow, and there's no need to worry about watering or fertilizing. They're also pet-safe and child-safe.
Like any living plant, artificial plants can work wonders for any décor situation, and we doubt that anyone will know the difference once they're displayed on a nice plant stand. We found some small options if you want to be subtle, like mini succulents and an aloe plant, as well as larger ones for those unafraid to go all out with a big statement ficus tree or monstera. No matter the size, an artificial plant can give you the look you're going for without all the fuss. Feel free to scroll through the entire list to see if anything catches your eye, but if you already have something in mind, use these links to jump around to the floor plants, hanging plants, tabletop plant, succulents, and outdoor faux plants we've curated below.
Go big or go home, right? At first glance, your guests might think that a lemon tree indoors is obviously fake, but a quick Google search will prove them wrong, as you can actually grow one inside. The variation in the leaves, along with creative potting on your part, might be all you need to convince them this is real.
Ikea has a number of plants, including fake ones, too, that are pretty convincing. Strategist writer Jenna Milliner-Waddell even has one friend that accidentally bought a fake Ikea plant thinking it was real. There's plenty to choose from, but this bamboo tree is a little more unique. It's nice and full, so it'll look like you have a green thumb, but isn't so full that it's not believable.
If a small viney plant comes to mind when you hear philodendron, think again. Instead of sprawling, this one grows tall like a tree and will make a statement in your space.
A five-foot-tall fiddle-leaf fig that's never going to die on you. This one has natural color variations on the tree bark and leaves, including creasing and texture just like the real deal. This tree is pleasantly sparse compared to other "overstuffed" fiddles with big clusters of leaves, which (if you ask us) is a dead giveaway that it's fake.

If your well-documented black thumb makes a thriving five-foot tree difficult to pass off as real, this more modest fiddle-leaf plant might do the trick.
Birds of paradise are one of those plants that almost look fake even when they're real, so save yourself the trouble and go faux. This five-foot-tall artificial bird of paradise — complete with irregular leaf tears and crinkles — will make just as much of a statement as a live one.
If you already have a bird of paradise plant, consider this banana leaf. They have similar broad, oblong leaves, but this one is about two feet smaller than the plant above.
Another statusy floor plants is the monstera. Terrain makes some of the best-looking artificial plants we've seen, but they're pricey. Still, if you've got the money, this one is a real showstopper.
If you want to spend a good bit less and still get a realistic-looking monstera, this is a good choice.
This six foot ficus has a delicate look, with its long and slender trunk, and the intricately detailed leaves will catch anyone's eye. (The manufacturer's product description says it has "1,008 individual leaves.")
This is a particularly impressive imitation of the very on-trend variegated rubber tree. At two feet tall, its a bit smaller than the other artificial floor plants on this list, but would look perfect perched on a plant stand.
West Elm's home-décor offerings extend to both real and fake plants. This one is a more traditional-looking faux rubber plant with its thick, dark-colored leaves. And while it doesn't come with a planter, the retailer has a ton of those to choose from, too.
Get vertical with this faux palm tree that towers more than 6 feet high. Stick with a simple planter since the tree makes a statement on its own.
Less obvious than a palm tree, this faux yucca plant will give you a similar tropical vibe, if that's what you're after.
Real dracaena plants can be a bit temperamental and even toxic to some pets, so save yourself the trouble with this faux version that won't hurt anyone. It gives off tropical vibes and is dense, with 64 natural-looking leaves that can be adjusted any way you see fit.
Snake plants are pretty hard to kill, it's true, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. This looks just like the real thing, and it even comes with a modern-looking black planter.

This tradescantia zebrina hanging bush has the statement plant trifecta: It hangs, catching the eye of everyone who walks in the room, grows in a dramatic sprawling vine, and shows beautiful variation in color, including pink.
If you like the idea of a winding, viny plant but are afraid it'll grow unruly, this faux hanging variegated string of hearts won't get any bigger.

If you're too much of a purist to go totally fake, the plant people at the Sill offer some preserved plants like this hanging moss ball. Like fake plants, this one doesn't require any maintenance, but it's also nontoxic and environmentally friendly (in other words, it's not plastic like most fake plants).
The details and shading on the leaves of this hanging spider plant make it nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.
Hang this silk Boston fern in your living room, or outdoors over your porch.
If you're getting an artificial hanging plant, you might as well go for it and buy something that would be near-impossible to successfully grow indoors, like this always-blooming, bright pink bougainvillea.
Pilea plants can be a little temperamental, but this faux one won't start losing leaves the moment you move it a little to the left.
Have a little fun with your faux plant and introduce this polka-dot alocasia into your décor. At nearly 15 inches tall this could go on a window sill, shelf, or TV stand.
"Pot" a single leaf yourself — it's another cool take on the tabletop plant. As pictured, put this maguey in a glass vase with some pebbles for extra dimension.
This mini tabletop plant is rich in color, comes in a modern white melamine pot, and is somehow just $5, making it the cheapest artificial plant on this list.
Want even more drama? This all-black fern definitely stands out.
You'll need to plop these in your own pot or basket, but something simple will do, as the variegated leaves in these peperomia plants will steal the show.
For the snake-plant lovers, here's one small enough to sit on top of your desk or nightstand.
According to reviewers, the leaves on this fake plant are bendable, so you can customize this plant into any shape that suits you.
Here's an artificial lavender plant that would make for a nice kitchen-table centerpiece or bathroom-counter accoutrement. Plus, if you're sensitive to smells, this lavender is scent-free unlike the real stuff.
We love the realistic and vibrant green color of the leaves on this pothos plant.
Get the bonsai look without worrying about delicate trimming and upkeep.
You unfortunately can't use this silk agave to make tequila, but it will add a bold geometric pop to any end table.

Terrain is part of the Anthropologie family, so it's no surprise they have a nice selection to choose from. It might not look like it at first glance, but the jade plant is actually a succulent. The wire in these faux leaves means you can adjust this plant to your liking.
There's a good shot of color in this succulent duo, in both the plants and the bright terracotta pots.

A ten-inch wide pot like this will make the perfect centerpiece on a dining or coffee table.
While you won't see any roots growing through these planters, you'll get a nice view of the purely decorative rocks this trio of succulents is potted in.
Decorate your desk with some fake succulents that won't mind if you take an extra-long weekend.
If you're not into taking care of houseplants, we take it you're not into landscaping either — and there's faux plants for that, too. Get two of these to flank your front door, along with some decorative pots, and never worry about them again.
