Types of artificial plants
Small artificial plants
Small artificial plants are perfect mood-makers for windowsills, shelves and coffee tables. Think of compact varieties such as a white Anthurium of 15 cm, a small ornamental grass or the artificial curly fern 60 cm. They fit effortlessly in niches or open cabinets, need no light and stay fresh green all year round. Combine 2 or 3 small faux plants in different heights for a playful effect. Present them extra nicely or add height with our plant tables and stands. Ready-to-style option: Artificial succulents in pot with stand (38 cm).
Large artificial plants
Large artificial plants instantly add presence to your interior. From a 120 cm Monstera artificial plant to an impressive 310 cm Strelitzia artificial plant: ideal as a statement in an empty corner or next to the sofa. They are maintenance-free, don’t discolour quickly and stay beautiful in rooms with little daylight. Tip: choose a decorative pot about 1/3 of the plant’s width for a stable, well-proportioned look. A popular large artificial plant is the Artificial Kentia palm in pot (210 cm).
Artificial hanging plants
Artificial hanging plants add height differences and dynamism. They are perfect above cabinets, in macramé hangers or on a high shelf. Choose a hanging plant with full trails for a lush effect in living rooms, bathrooms or offices, or go for the practical Artificial hanging plant set (2 pcs, 56 cm). Also handy where real hanging plants have little chance, such as a dark hallway. For a natural look you can style them in rattan baskets.
Artificial trees and ornamental grasses
Want to bring the feeling of the outdoors inside? Go for an artificial bamboo plant, artificial palm or a boxwood ball. A 70 cm fan palm gives instant holiday vibes, while a slender 80 cm Dracaena (in green-white or green-red) looks modern and calm. Ornamental grasses add texture and suit both minimalist and country-style interiors. Trendy and airy, for example, is artificial pampas grass grey 120 cm. For a subtle colour accent choose a flowering variety such as the Artificial plant Cassia Glauca 90 cm. An artificial indoor tree is also popular, such as the Artificial olive tree on stem with olives 120 cm. Looking for a slim column plant for a corner? Then check out the Artificial Yucca rostrata (120 cm).
Placing indoors or outdoors
Our artificial plants are designed for indoor use and can also be placed outdoors in sheltered spots. Avoid direct sunlight and prolonged rain or wind to preserve colours and materials optimally. Place on a veranda, under a canopy or in an entrance area where the plant doesn’t get continuously wet. Want an artificial plant on a balcony or roof terrace? Put it in a sheltered spot and add weight with clay pebbles or gravel in the pot. For outdoor use, periodically check for dust or dirt and wipe with a slightly damp cloth. For stability and convenience, choose large, lightweight outdoor pots. For a warm, natural look, terracotta pots and jars are a great choice.
Materials and realism
Our artificial plants are made of recycled, PVC-free plastic with a matte finish for a natural, non-glossy look. The leaves have realistic veins and colour gradients, and the stems are firmly shaped so you can easily model the plant. Thanks to durable materials, the plants retain their shape and colour for a long time, even in rooms with little light or fluctuating temperatures. The result: the look of real plants, but maintenance-free.
Care and cleaning
Artificial plants require hardly any care. Keep them beautiful like this:
- Unfold and shape – gently unfold the branches and bend into shape for a full, natural form
- Keep dust-free – dust monthly with a duster or microfibre cloth
- Cleaning – for stains, wipe lightly with water and a drop of mild soap, then buff dry
- Placement – avoid direct sunlight and heavy rain to protect colour and material
Nothing else needed: no water, no feed, no pruning.
Buying advice: size, pot and styling
With the right size and pot your artificial plant looks professionally styled right away. Here’s how to choose well:
- Determine height – measure from floor to desired leaf height; in seating areas 100–150 cm often works well, in an entrance or void 180–300 cm
- Width and walking space – keep at least 30–40 cm free around it for an airy effect
- Pot choice – choose a decorative pot with an inner diameter of about 1/3 to 1/2 of the crown width for stability. Also view our modern design vases and pots for a matching look.
- Filling – fix the grow pot with clay pebbles, sand or gravel and finish with a decorative topping such as moss, gravel or wood chips
- Styling tip – group 3 artificial plants of different heights for depth, for example bamboo + ornamental grass + hanging plant

Frequently asked questions
Which artificial plants look the most real?
Choose plants with matte leaves, subtle colour transitions and true-to-nature veins. Popular lifelike options are the Monstera artificial plant, Strelitzia, bamboo artificial plant and boxwood ball. Look for filled crowns and shapeable branches for a natural growth form. In our showroom you can immediately see the realism per species and size.
What are the disadvantages of artificial plants?
Artificial plants don’t grow with your interior and don’t have air-purifying effects like some real plants. Cheaper versions can also discolour faster. Our advice: choose quality, PVC-free materials with a matte finish and place artificial plants in sheltered spots out of direct sunlight for long-lasting colour.
How long do artificial plants last?
With indoor use and basic care (dusting, occasional damp wipe), quality artificial plants stay beautiful for years. Factors such as direct sunlight, moisture and wind shorten their lifespan. If you place a plant in a sheltered outdoor spot, check it periodically for dirt and clean it to preserve colour and shape.
Can artificial plants be placed outside?
Yes, if sheltered. Avoid direct sunlight and prolonged rain or wind. Under a canopy, on a veranda or in a sheltered balcony corner, artificial plants stay beautiful longer. Weigh down the pot with clay pebbles or gravel and use a drainage layer to prevent water accumulation.
What are the best artificial plants for the bathroom?
Choose varieties that keep their visual appeal in varying humidity, such as ferns, ornamental grasses, bamboo or a compact Dracaena. Hanging plants also work well above cabinets or mirrors. Ventilate the room regularly and wipe leaves with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
How do I choose the right size artificial plant?
Base the height on the function of the space: seating area 100–150 cm, hallway or office 150–200 cm, void or shop window 200 cm and higher. Keep the width in proportion to the pot and the available walking space. Unsure? Visit us in Ammerzoden to compare different sizes live.
