THE BEST FAUX HANGING PLANTS

The Best Faux Hanging Plants

You guys know that I’m a big fan of faux plants because I struggle with my big ‘ole black thumb. I’ve had some luck in keeping a select few real plants alive, but a dark corner in our bathroom has always given me problems. So it was time to give in and go faux.

I’ve probably gone through over 5 different real plants in this corner. It’s dark and doesn’t get any light and along with my forgetfulness to water my plants, it’s not a good combo.

So I finally decided it was time to find a good realistic looking fake one. 

TIPS FOR FINDING REALISTIC FAUX PLANTS

COLOR

Look for plants with a more subtle and darker green color. The brighter the green, the more fake it’s going to look. Even though there are plenty of real plants that are bright green, when you’re going faux I’ve learned the brighter the color = more fake looking.

Realistic Fake Plants

ORGANIC DETAILS

Don’t opt for a plant that has fake raindrops on it or is super high gloss. These are both unnatural characteristics and will make your fake plant appear even more fake. Look for more natural things like variations in color and textured branches.

Adding real dirt in your pot will also help make your plant appear more realistic.

LOOK FOR IMPERFECTIONS

No real plant is perfect so why would you want your fake one to be? Look for plants with varying sized leaves, colors and textures. The more variety, the more real it will look.

So now that you know what to look for when buying faux plants, let me introduce you to the one I found for my dark little corner.

Best Faux Hanging Plant

I bought two stems of this Artificial Swedish Ivy since I have a larger pot to fill which also helps make it look more realistic. Like any fake plant, they usually come very flat and folded together and it takes some fluffing to get it exactly where you want it.

I suggest doing a little fluffing before putting it in your pot and then once it’s in the pot, continue to unfold it and bend the leaves the way you want to fill up your space the most.

Affordable Faux Hanging Plants

With faux hanging plants, since they typically come as just stems, you need something to hold them in place. I bought a half circle piece of flower foam from the craft store and placed it in the bottom of my pot.

I stuck the stems in as far as they would go and then continued to fluff and unfold all the leaves until it looked nice and full.

And voila! Now I don’t have to worry about this guy dying on me anymore. 😉 In my search for the perfect faux hanging plant I came across a bunch of options that all look pretty realistic – and got good reviews!

So if you’re on the hunt, here are some great options to try!

We spent a few days this past week at the @thedwel We spent a few days this past week at the @thedwellbox in Amish Country and never wanted to leave! More and more lately we’re realizing the importance of family and nurturing those relationships. This was the perfect place to unwind, reconnect and enjoy an adventure together without worrying about capturing it all on our phones. We went for a hike, sat by the fire, ate wayyy too many pastries and cheeses and loved every minute of it. Sharing a video tour in stories today! If you’re in the area - we highly recommend a stay here!

As always, there’s two sizes for you to choose from and a short easy tutorial for you to follow to make the cute little wooden stand too 📅  My little office nook has gone through a lot of phases since we first moved in 4.5 years ago (swipe through to see them all!) and last year I finally upgraded my desk to one I could properly sit at 🤣 I took two Alex drawers from IKEA and added wood trim and caning for an elevated look and topped it off with a faux butcher block counter made from a $30 door slab. 👊🏻 the cherry on top for this space was our new skylight that instantly brightened it up and brings in so much beautiful natural light ☀️ this nook never felt quite right until now and I’m excited to spend more time here this year working on lots of exciting projects!

Oh 2020. While it wasn’t what any of us expected Oh 2020. While it wasn’t what any of us expected I’m focusing on all the good that came out of it. I remember sitting with Dan New Year’s Eve last year and being so hopeful for what our future held and praying it would bring us another baby after we had been trying with no luck. I found out only a couple weeks later I was pregnant and that joy carried us through the year even though it brought fear and worry along with it. Besides welcoming our sweet baby girl into our lives we experienced so many other amazing things. The time we got to spend as a family is something we’ll always cherish. We worked on so many projects together and continued to pour our hearts into making this house a place we can call home. And we built A LOT of arches 🤣 Eloise was on the cover of a magazine, Hawk’s hair grew back in full force, we beat Covid and captain Christmas reminded us what the holiday season is really about.  but most importantly we leaned into god and relied on him more than ever to get us through each day. That’s the relationship I want to continue to work on and I’m grateful that this year nudged me closer to the One who deserves all the glory and continues to be faithful 🙏🏻 happy new year friends 🤍 cheers to 2021 🍾
wishing you all a very merry Christmas!🎄your lo wishing you all a very merry Christmas!🎄your love and support means the absolute world to our little family - thank you for being here with us! 🤍 #averybertolinichristmas

Which view do you prefer? 🤪 we compromise every Which view do you prefer? 🤪 we compromise every year: Dan and his dad get their giant artificial tree with colored blinking lights, handmade ornaments (and this year, tinsel) and I get my real tree with white lights and neutral ornaments. If you’ve been following all the Captain Christmas adventures on my stories you know I let Dan go all out and he hung tinsel garland and colored lights ALL over our house. I decorated a few small areas but I was getting SO unnecessarily stressed thinking about decorating our entire home and creating perfect content for you guys. So I said F it and it felt SO good. And it brought so much joy to him and the kids. And for that, it was worth it 🙌🏻 there’s nothing wrong with a beautifully styled Instagram worthy home but this time of year should be a reminder of the things that truly matter in life - and I don’t want to miss out on them. However you decorate for christmas I hope you can find joy in it 🙌🏻 and maybe let go of those picture perfect expectations a little 😉 captain Christmas stories are saved in a highlight! 🎄#2020 #breinspired #ohchristmastree
