We’ve likely all heard the benefits indoor plants can offer – they’re a stylish way to bring a little life indoors, improve air quality and even boost your mental health. But let's face it – not everyone is blessed with a green thumb. Maybe you have a busy social calendar, suffer from allergies, or you have a young puppy or little one who is known to nibble on just about anything. Thankfully, your home can still enjoy that leafy look without all the work (and sneezes)!
Gone are the days when you could spot an artificial plant a mile off. In fact, when placed in a cute planter it can be hard to tell them apart from the real deal. Unlike live plants, there’s minimal maintenance required, just a gentle wipe down with a damp cloth from time to time is all they really need.
Since they don’t rely on natural light to thrive, they’re great in tricky spaces where real plants either get scorched by the sun, or don’t have enough light to stay happy. Oh, and no need to water them (in fact, they’d really rather you didn’t!)
If you want to start small or just prefer a minimal style, artificial stems might be right up your alley. Offering the same kinds of benefits as our plants, placing a bunch of stems into your favourite vase or vessel gives a fresh and inviting look without the falling petals and clean up dramas!
Stems make a lovely centrepiece on the dining table, hallway console or bedroom dresser. For a calming look with a bit of height, check out the Fountain Grass Stem and Ball Grass Stem.
Or, if you’d like a fun pop of colour and fuller shape, the Berry Stem and Sedum Stem, are perfect. Who doesn’t love coming home to flowers year-round!?
Artificial plants and stems aren’t something to sniff at. They’re great for those who love the lock up and leave lifestyle or have a not-so-great track record with plants (RIP those crispy succulents that you haven't have the heart to toss!) Explore our full range of plants and planters here; your home will be looking lush in no time.
