20 Faux Plants Worthy Of A Double Take

Did you know that indoor potted plants can actually produce bugs if they don’t have proper drainage?! I had no idea, but recently started to notice tiny little flies circling regularly throughout the house. Now, I assure you, John and I are not dirty homeowners—in fact, we’re pretty obsessive compulsive when it comes to the cleanliness of our spaces—so after doing some digging (pun intended), we discovered that overly moist soil was contributing to our bug problem.

Now that I know, I’m looking to slowly move away from live plants and invest in more of the faux variety, which will ultimately help deter the pests and free up a bit more of my time during the week since I won’t have to spend a solid 15 minutes making the watering rounds each Wednesday. I think there’s at least a small chance that my roundup of 20 double-take-worthy faux plants below might just have you rethinking your belief that silk flowers and trees are tacky!
