Choosing Your Perfect Match

Consider room humidity, foot traffic, and desired realism level. Bathrooms? Try UV-coated orchids. High-traffic areas? Flexible polyethylene stems withstand bumps.

Size & Scale Secrets

Measure ceiling height first! Oversized fiddle leaf figs anchor living rooms, while tabletop succulents add office charm. Actually, layering three heights creates depth.

While live plants offer nurturing joy, artificial versions provide unwavering vibrancy. Worried about sustainability? Modern options use recycled plastics and biodegradable mosses.

Eco-Impact Reality Check

High-quality artificial plants last 7-10 years3, reducing constant replacements. Plus, no water waste - a win for drought-prone regions.
