The Sill Just Launched a Line of Faux Plants, And They Look Just Like the Real Thing
Say it louder for the people in the back: There is nothing wrong with faux plants. Gone are the days of tacky, waxy faux plants that gather dust and clearly look fake. Nowadays, you can find actually real-looking artificial plants just about anywhere, from individual palm leaves to full-size fiddle-leaf figs.
The Sill, one of our favorite places to order plants online, just launched a line of faux plants that look and feel just like the real thing. The collection is on the higher end, with prices starting at $60, but is worth the investment for the longevity. Also take note that some of the larger plants are currently only available for shipping to the NYC metro area. Take a look at our favorites below, and get excited to never kill a fern again.
Faux Pilea Peperomioides
This trendy Pilea plant will look good just about anywhere in your space—no matter how much natural sunlight you get. Place it on a side table in your living room, or on a shelf in your bedroom. It also makes for a happy desk plant to brighten up your workday.
