Artificial Indoor Plants

Decorating your house with indoor plants is easy with the help of the following steps.

• Incorporate large fake indoor plants in corners or as focal points for a statement look. 
• Utilise fake hanging plants indoor decor to utilise wall space and draw the eye upwards. 
• Mix faux house plants of various sizes and textures for a more realistic and lush appeal. 
• Use fake plants for inside decor styling on shelves, tables, or windowsills to bring greenery to every corner. 
• Combine small with large faux plants indoors for a balanced and natural ambience.

Select indoor artificial plants based on your space's proportions. 

• Opt for tall fake indoor plants to fill vertical spaces or create visual height. 
• For smaller areas, cluster artificial potted plants indoor in complementary pot colours. Vary heights of these plants or distance of faux floor plants. Stagger some of these plants on shelves, stands, or risers for variation. 
• Consider the room's scale and aim for a balance between plant size and available space.

Mix artificial plants and trees indoors with natural foliage for variety, flexibility, and less maintenance when building your indoor garden. Tips for mixing and matching plants include: 

• Incorporate fake palms for inside natural shading, dynamic movement, and dappled light. Combining tall artificial trees indoor pieces with smaller real and faux plants beneath it helps to create the illusion of a living mini ecosystem.
• Combine artificial and real plants for a blended effect, where the faux camouflages with the real greenery.
• If attempting to make faux plants seem real indoors, consider choosing real statement plant/s, so that the eye is drawn to them. Faux plants can help to create a lush backdrop for these living ‘hero’ plants. 
• Experiment with placement to achieve a harmonious balance between artificial and real foliage.

Most indoor plastic plants can withstand high-humidity areas like bathrooms.

• When decorating a humid space, choose the best fake indoor plants, made with quality materials for durability.
• Ensure good ventilation to prevent mould or mildew on indoor plastic plants kept in humid environments.

Place a faux tree indoor decor piece or an artificial grass wall indoor backdrop near sunlight with caution. Not all artificial plants and greenery are designed to tolerate sunlight. The best artificial trees for indoors are UV-Treated. Tips for placing artificial plants near or in sunlight include: 

• Avoid direct exposure to the sun to prevent deterioration and fading. 
• Choose the best artificial trees for indoors with built-in UV protection to maintain colour vibrancy.
• Rotate individual plants to ensure even exposure to the sun and thus even the fading of your plants. Rearranging your plants periodically will also help to prevent excessive fading of the plants closest to the sunlight source. 
• Use tall artificial floor plants to create shade or dappled light for other artificial plants.

Artificial plants can be used outside, with a few rules of thumb to guide you:

• Exposure to weather conditions like rain, sunlight, and wind can damage or fade artificial plants meant for indoors.
• UV-Treated artificial plants can be used indoors or outdoors in full or partial shade for extended periods. Take care with prolonged exposure to full sun, as this can lead to advanced breakdown of your UV-treated artificial plant. 
• At Koch & Co, our range of UV-treated artificial plants includes artificial hanging plants indoor pieces, fake indoor palm trees, and artificial floor plants indoor decor pieces.

Tips for making artificial indoor plants look more realistic include: 

• Mix textures and shades to mimic natural foliage.
• Add real soil or rocks to the base for a more authentic appearance. This is especially relevant to potted plants that don’t have low-hanging foliage, such as a  fake olive tree indoor piece.
• Dust small and large fake tree indoor pieces regularly to maintain a verdant look.
• Arrange leaves, flowers, or branches to lay naturally, especially on artificial tall plants indoors. A uniform or clumped appearance can adversely affect the realistic look of your artificial plants.

• Dust large artificial trees indoor pieces with a soft brush or cloth to gently remove debris.
• For small-leaf imitation plants for indoors  and interior settings, like an olive tree indoor faux, wipe leaves with a damp cloth and mild soap solution.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water. Failing to do so may cause damage to the artificial foliage.
• For hard-to-reach crevices in your plant, use an air duster to remove dust and debris.
