Artificial plants are everywhere today. You can find them in home décor stores, furniture retailers, online shops, and specialist plant stores.
But have you ever noticed that some artificial plants immediately look fake, while others make you look twice?
The difference is in the details.
Can you say both the images have artificial plants, but can you spot the fake one?
1. The Leaves
Cheap-looking artificial plants often have repetitive, flat-looking leaves. More realistic plants have variation in colour, shape, texture and positioning.

2. The Trunk
For artificial trees, the trunk can make a huge difference. A realistic trunk gives the tree a much more natural appearance. This is where you introduce Tree of Life's real-trunk artificial trees with silk leaves.
Real trunk. Artificial leaves. A surprisingly natural combination.
3. The Overall Shape
Real plants aren't perfectly symmetrical. Natural-looking branches and varied foliage make artificial trees look much more convincing.
4. The Pot
Even a beautiful artificial plant can look ordinary in the wrong pot. The right planter makes the entire arrangement look more finished.
Why It Matters
If you're buying a small decorative plant, realism may not be your biggest concern.
But if you're buying a large artificial tree for your living room, office reception, hotel, restaurant or showroom, the plant becomes a noticeable part of the space.
