Editor's Notes

February 07, 2020:

Faux plants have come a long way since they were first developed. For example, models like the Nearly Natural Fiddle Leaf and the Nearly Natural Golden Cane Palm were designed by horticulturists who studied the specifics of each plant. This meticulous preparation shows in the finished product.

Of note, this type of ornamentation is sometimes referred to as silk trees or silk plants, today's options are primarily made of polyester, plastic and malleable wire.

If you are on the search for the best low-maintenance floral decor, it's worth checking out our list of silk flowers as well as our post about artificial trees for more inspiration.
