Artificial Plants

Artificial Plants and Faux Greenery for Every Room

Real plants ask for light, water and a fair bit of attention that not every home or schedule can offer, which is exactly where a good artificial plant earns its place. Whether you need greenery for a north-facing room with little natural light, something low-maintenance for a busy household, or a statement tree to fill an empty corner, FastDaddyshop stocks faux plants and trees to suit rooms of every size. On our site you can order compact potted plants under 40 cm tall for shelves and desks, faux trees reaching 150–180 cm for filling empty corners, and hanging artificial foliage for shelves and mantelpieces.

Choosing artificial plants: what our customers ask most

  • What height suits an empty corner? Our consultants often advise a faux tree of 150–180 cm for standard ceiling heights around 2.4 m, since it fills the space without overwhelming the room. From the experience of FastDaddyshop's managers, smaller 60–90 cm plants suit shelves, windowsills and desks better than statement floor pieces.
  • Silk or plastic leaves — which looks more realistic? In practice, silk-finish leaves catch light more naturally and suit rooms where the plant sits close to eye level, while sturdier plastic leaves hold their shape better in high-traffic areas like hallways. Our managers have found silk finishes are usually the better choice for a genuinely convincing look on a coffee table or sideboard.
  • Do artificial plants need any care at all? From experience, an occasional dust with a soft cloth or a quick pass with a hairdryer on a cool setting is all that's needed, roughly once a month, to keep leaves looking fresh. We'd flag an expert caution: keep faux plants away from direct heat sources like radiators, as prolonged heat can warp plastic stems over time.

Once your artificial plants are in place, it's worth thinking about the rest of the room around them. Many of our customers add home decor pieces to complete the styling, bring in a floor lamp to highlight a corner display, or use a dehumidifier or air purifier to keep the room feeling fresh.
