I dont think we have those fake plants around the house. We used to have them but thinking around the house, I think all of them are real. We only have those small manageable ones inside the house. There are some plants in the living room, dining room, and most of the indoor plants that we have can be found on some of the steps on the stairs. They're to the side of course, out of the way so those who pass through the stairs wont stumble on them.LOL
Having indoor plants can be good. It helps give good oxygen in the air.^_^

LOL That sounds quite morbid. But I do know what you mean. Its a good thing that my Mom loves plants, else if I was left alone in the house they would just die on me within a week. With those like us, the best way is to have fake plants that looks real.

Yeah jugs, I have fake flowers as well as plants in my house. Other than the small genuine green leafy plant in the middle of the tabernacle there is another fake plant with lots of small oranges hanging on it. It's on the right edge of the same tabernacle in the inner living room. They make the environment rather decent
I have two bouquets of roses in the kitchen. One is paper roses in pink color whereas the other one are in red color made of plastic. Both of them are birthday gifts from my friends. there is one more fake flower on the top of the tv in my bedroom.
Happy posting

NO, I do not have fake plants in my apartment. I don't care for artificial plants at all. I see them in the professional offices sometimes and they make the place look cheap. I find myself touching plants sometimes to see if they are real even when they look realistic enough. I see alot of fake flowers used for pen holders too.

Yes, I absolutely have to go up and touch it to see if it is real or fake.

We don't have such flowers.. because I think nothing can replace the reality.. and even I will not replace a false for a true...

I have beautiful pink roses in my bathroom. They actually have fake rain drops on them to make them appear to be wet. Pink Roses are my all time favorite flower.

Yes I think they have perfected them so much that sometimes you really can't tell that they are fake.

Hi Jugs,
We don't have fake plants in our house right now. What we have are real plants and they're placed outside--in our yard. I am not attracted to fake/plastic plants i still prefer the green and real plants. Refreshing, relaxing and energizing!

Okay. But fresh and real plants give more life and even absorb our negative energies. When our eyes are so tired and strained we just have to look to any color green. The green color of plants and our eyes will feel fresh and recharged again. So, i still go for the real ones.

I never have fake plants in my house. Not because I don't like them, but they're a pain to clean especially if you live in my country where everything is covered in dust in just a few days. I prefer real plants, but I don't have any indoor plants. I have a lot of orchids.

I must say they are hard to get in all the places on the plant to get them clean all over and if you suffer from asthma it was a good idea to dunk them or leave them in water as that way it soaks the dust off them rather than getting the dust going everywhere for you to breath in.

We do have fake plants in our house. In the living room, in the bedroom and also in the bath room, they are every where. We live in apartment, it is hard to grow real plant nicely inside our home, as no sun light available need for a fresh plant to grow. But my fake plants look real, so I don't have any complain.

I am the type of person that usually ends up killing off all the plants as well as all the flowers so i think the only thing that will be stay looking good is the fake plants and flowers.I think that there are alot of nice looking fake plants,flowers and ever the small fake trees.

i'd thought about it..but my cats would probably try to chew on them.
i've pretty much nixed plants of any kind for that reason right now.

i had a nice hanging silk fake fern once..
the cat got up there somehow-first he flattened it with his butt,then he peed in it.
*sigh* i guess that was his opinion of it LOL
it's kind of funny looking back on it tho..

Yes I have fake flowers in my house. I have some in my living room and in my spare bedroom. I like them because I do not have to worry about watering them. You do have to clean them I just take the spray in the kitchen sink and spray the flowers and then place them in my bathtub so they can dry then I put them back where I had them.

we dont have any fake plants inside the house, we ont useany. but during christmas season my wife brings out our christmas tree and we use a plastic one that we can reuse it every year. so we use a plastic one only during christmas season. in our country more people use plastic trees than the real tree. if they use real tree they use any plant that they have they ont buy pine tree. i guess pine trees are not seen in our country. i havent seen one har har har.

I did at one time but they started to seem cluttery so I got rid of them. I do have some silk flowers. I have some really pretty flowers in a Mikas vase on my dining room table that are left there pretty much all the time. I also have a vase with some silk buds that divide the eating are in the kitchen from the family room but that is about it.

I don't buy any fake flowers and plants. I have seen many who buy them and put them as decorations in the house. It may fake many who will appreciate the looks but they usually ask if it's real and the usual response would be a "no". I like the real plants and flowers, if ever I want to have them at home. I am not satisfied and content with a fake plants and flowers. At home, we have some few flowers and plants outside and it's good sometimes to touch and smell.

Hello friend,
yes,i do have fake plants and i like it.
I had fake flowers in my dining table and also in my center table at the living room.
I like it...it gives more beauty to my house,and i choose to have fake ones instead of original plants.
Less labor and maintenance too.
But i had lots and lots of flowering plants all around our house too.
Have a nice weekend dear

I have fake , artificial plants in my house. It was a flowering type. I put them at my guest room. One good thing about these plants are they always flowering in four seasons, all year long. That's a relief because sometimes I don't have time to water them. Insects don't like my plants because they are not sweet. I pity them, but at least they are not making my house as their home. My house looks nice because of my artificial plants. I am planning to buy more and put it in my bed room.
