Artificial Succulents: Zero-Maintenance Greenery Throughout the Year
Artificial succulents help you transport a tropical paradise’s beauty or a desert’s austerity into your home. Find a wide range of these succulents on eBay for your desks, coffee tables, dining tables, and bookshelves.
What are artificial succulents made of?Artificial succulents come as a complete package, which means different materials could be used to make their various aspects.
- They come in pots with fake or simulated soil. The pot could be made of paper mache (grey paper pulp), ceramic, high-quality plastic, or similar materials.
- The actual plant is usually made of a material, such as plastic, fabric, or a real plant's mould. Some are also filled with foam for additional realism.
- Most of these faux plants are usually finished with rocks or moss to give them that added touch of realism.
As mentioned before, artificial succulents are ideal to be displayed on your desk, window, coffee table, or another place. They could be used for greening projects, decorations, and shops, as well.
- These attractive plants can be the centre of attraction at a party or gifted to others.
- These faux plants help brighten up any space as real plants do, but without the need to water them or constantly worry about having underwatered or overwatered them.
- Artificial succulents, unlike real succulents, need not be placed in direct sunlight for a few hours during the day.
- The faux plant will look beautiful and fresh throughout the year. You’ll not have to worry about fading issues and maintenance.
- These succulents will not require fertilisers every month. Also, your region’s climate will not have any impact on their look.
Artificial succulents are available in multiple varieties. For instance, faux cactus plants. Cactus is a relatively common artificial succulent plant and it comes in a single pot or multiple pots. Other varieties include basket plants, climbing plants, hanging plants, air plants, and others. These faux plants come in vivid colour designs and with the right kind of layering so that they look real. The height of the plants could vary too.
Things to look into when buying artificial succulentsThere are certain things you must consider in fake succulents so that they look very close to the real thing:
- The plant should not have been peppered with artificial rain droplets.
- The finish shouldn’t be very glossy since it could look tacky.
- Focus on thoughtful details, such as delicate root sheaths and other detail.
- Have the image of a real plant handy to compare it with the look of the artificial succulent’s leaves, stems, and other parts.
