        Fake Plants That Look as Good as the Real Thing

        FAKING IT

        Keep in mind that most artificial plants will never look as good as a real plant, but there are a lot of good fakes out there.

        It’s no surprise that plants become The Thing to buy right now. Being able to consistently take care of something that needs water and food and sunlight is a huge upside to this work from home lifestyle most of us have adopted. But once we’re heading back into offices, what happens to that greenery if you can’t keep up the schedule? Or, what if you’ve found out that a green thumb doesn’t come naturally for you? Well, you can fake it. Some brands have found the secret to creating real-looking plants that require no effort in keeping them green (save for a little bit of dusting) and we’ve rounded up some of the best, from budget-friendly to statement-making investments.

        Winlyn Mini Potted Plants

        These plants are great for adding greenery to a desk or table that doesn’t get any sunlight. The set features three distinct faux plants (eucalyptus, boxwood, and rosemare), plus grey, concrete-like pots for some added decor.
