Decorate your home with the best realistic faux greenery stems!
I'm a plant lover and prefer to decorate and display living plants throughout my home. They bring a sense of life and freshness to a room you can't replicate with faux plants.
As much as I would love to ditch all my faux plants, there are certain situations and areas throughout my home where it makes sense to go faux. It doesn't hurt that there are great realistic faux leaf stems available.
Today, I'm sharing some of my favorite realistic faux greenery stems that I love and display throughout my own home.
WHY CHOOSE FAUX PLANTS OVER REAL ONES?
Faux plants are maintenance-free and can be displayed where it's difficult for live plants to thrive. You don't have to worry about over or under-watering, lighting, fungus gnats, or soil conditions.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING FAUX PLANTS AND STEMS?
Stick with high-quality faux plants with natural textures that look and feel real. The colors should represent the natural colors and characteristics of the real-life version. Avoid shiny leaves and unrealistic features that can drastically reduce the quality.
CAN YOU MIX REAL AND FAUX PLANTS?
You can absolutely mix real and faux plants together. Personally, I feel high-quality faux plants are more likely to pass for the real deal when they are intermingled. Mixing faux and real plants also allows you to extend your plant variety when conditions aren't ideal.
I have a mix of real and faux plants in my living room. Can you guess which ones are fake?
FAUX PLANTS: Fiddle leaf tree and ferns on top of the cubby.
REAL PLANTS: Ficus Moclame, Tree Philodendron, Silver Bay Aglaonema, and Pothos.
WHAT ARE THE BEST REALISTIC FAUX GREENERY STEMS?
1. FAUX WISTERIA STEM
I stumbled upon these faux Wisteria stems last year on Etsy, and they quickly became a favorite. I have two faux Wisteria stems and typically keep them in a found wood jug or wicker-wrapped demijohn.
2. FAUX FERN STEMS
Ferns are one of my favorite types of plants, unfortunately, they're also high maintenance and I am never able to keep them alive. Luckily, Hobby Lobby has a great selection of affordable fern stems.
3. FAUX EUCALYPTUS STEM
The faux Eucalyptus stems from Amazon are my go-to stem, especially for spring. They're easy to manipulate, hold their shape well, and are affordable.
4. FAUX GREEN LEAF STEM
You can't go wrong with these $4.99 green leaf stems! They come in two sizes and are great for displaying in bottles and vases.
5. HANGING BEAN LEAF
The hanging bean leaf succulent stem is my favorite stem to add to vignettes or a small pot or planter. They have natural and realistic coloring and drape and lay nicely.
6. Faux Gingko BRANCH
This faux Gingko stem is a bit of a splurge, but how gorgeous are they?
Have I convinced you that faux plants and stems can be just as beautiful as live ones?
