These are our team’s favorite fake plants:

1. Kristin’s front porch went viral when she shared these faux trees. 

This faux Dracaena Tree earned a spot on our best fake plants list — and we’ve got our Hip sidekick Kristin to thank for the tip! She grabbed two for her front porch, and they seriously look SO good on either side of her front door. 😍

Her chic white planters are from Costco, but if you’re looking for a similar modern vibe, Target has affordable options for under $20!

*This plant is also available in 3-foot sizes for $20 less!

2. Collin loves the realistic and chic faux ficus trees from Target.

This fake tree sure fooled me! The lush foliage and realistic trunk give this plant a truly natural look. Even better, it comes with the gorgeous ceramic pot complete with moss. At 6 feet tall and a wide frame, this is sure to make a statement and any room you put it in.

3. Lina scooped up this stylish fiddle tree from Hobby Lobby.

Hobby Lobby carries all kinds of fantastic faux plants, including this artificial fiddle leaf fig tree. It’s a stunning piece that stands 5 feet tall. Even better, this faux version is so much easier to care for than the real thing.

Grab Lina’s rattan planter at Walmart for under $30.

4. This affordable hanging plant from Amazon is perfect for your bookshelves.

We’re obsessed with the dreamy, trailing leaves on this faux hanging plant! It adds the perfect touch of greenery to bookshelves, open shelving, or anywhere you need a little pop of life—no green thumb required. Over 2 feet long and under $20, it’s one of the best fake plants we’ve found on Amazon!

5. Emily (and her cat) are happy with this faux ficus tree from Wayfair. 

This gorgeous faux ficus tree stands a whopping 6 feet tall, so it’s another perfect faux plant to make a statement! It has full and lush foliage and even comes with the stylish bohemian wicker basket. This fake tree looks clean and high-end. You would think a professional interior designer picked it out. 😉

6. Visit Hobby Lobby for realistic fake flowers like these magnolia stems I found.

Create your own beautiful bouquet with these realistic magnolia stems that Sara found at Hobby Lobby. We love the artistic details of these artificial flowers and find the style to be elegant and timeless. Plus, the creamy white coloring is neutral and can match almost any decor!

7. Emily’s adorable hanging eucalyptus plant is absolutely charming. 

A cascading plant is always eye-catching! Emily scooped up this natural-looking eucalyptus plant and paired it with a pretty decorative pot she found in-store at Hobby Lobby. We love the color of this plant and the realistic details on the leaves. It hangs 31″ and looks exceptionally stunning on the mantle or a shelf!

8. This under $5 eucalyptus plant from Walmart is perfect for any desk or small space. 

With soft, dusty-green leaves and a realistic look, this faux eucalyptus plant adds a calming, natural vibe to any nook—no sunlight, watering, or green thumb required. It’s the perfect low-maintenance touch of nature for bathrooms, workspaces, or any small space that needs a sign of life.
