Photo: Real Simple / Tyler Roeland If you have trouble keeping plants alive (who doesn’t?), we have a solution for you: artificial plants. If you’re skeptical, hear us out: Today’s fake houseplants actually look real enough that people will be asking for your gardening tips. Amazon recently released a new storefront that’s dedicated to faux plants, and it has everything you need. The obvious upside to faux greenery is that the plants never die or wilt, and they don’t require any upkeep aside from the occasional dusting. But there are a lot of other pluses, too. Artificial plants are great for pet parents, so you don’t have to worry about your furry friends eating something harmful. They also add a bit of green to spaces in your house that don’t get a ton of natural light, like the bathroom, for instance . Check out our faux plant picks below, starting at just $9.
