Choose High-Quality Fake Plants
A high-quality fake plant can be expensive, but if you're planning to keep it for several seasons, it's worth the investment. First, compare it to images of the real thing. Look for natural details, wired stems and leaves that can bend into organic lines, and coloring that matches the original. Choose plastic or a foam blend when possible.How to Pot Fake Plants
For fake plants with an anchor stem, add real soil to a pot and place the artificial plant inside as though you were planting a live plant. Continue covering the anchor stem with soil until your planter is full. Finally, bend and fluff the stems and leaves to create a natural look.
How to Pot Fake Plants for Outdoors
For outdoor artificial plants or fake plants that need a more secure planting option (windy location) fasten your anchor stem to a chicken wire ball. Once your artificial plant is securely nestled in the chicken wire ball, fill the planter with real soil.
How to Keep Fake Plants from Fading
When styling your fake plant next to a window or outdoors, give it an extra coat of protection with UV Spray. Due to the elements, fake plants will eventually begin to fade, this clear coat will add longevity and help prevent fading and discoloration.
