Augshy Artificial Succulent Flocking Plants

This affordable, 16-piece set of faux succulents offers a very realistic look, allowing you to create a succulent garden without the hassle that would come with a real one. Choose from a range of small sizes and arrange as you please.

Nearly Natural Golden Cane Palm Silk Tree

If you prefer a summertime, beach-like vibe, this tall, faux palm tree is a great option to liven up your home without any added maintenance. Despite the fact that it’s fake, it gives a lush look, which you can further enhance by swapping out the simple black pot for a fancy ceramic pot.

Fopamtri Artificial Monstera Deliciosa Plant

This majestic plant will look especially gorgeous in a room with plenty of natural light. It’s a great option if you’re a fan of larger plants and just don’t have the green thumb gene to keep a real one alive. This one comes in 31-inch and 43-inch options.

Fopamtri Artificial Areca Palm Plant

If you like the look of a palm tree but want something smaller than an actual tree (even if fake), this might be the plant for you. Reviewers say it’s fairly easy to shape the leaves in whatever direction you like, so this is a versatile option for someone wanting things to look beachy, yet simple.

And finally, if you like the look of cacti but could do without the potential for needle-sticking, these cute mini plants can protect you, as well as any kids or pets, from potential injury. They’re also affordable and come in simple ceramic pots that can easily sit on a shelf, counter, or windowsill.
