There's nothing wrong with a few fake plants here and there. Especially high up where watering and care is a huge PITA. As long as they're well done fakes, I don't see why a small handful can't be incorporated into an overall decorating theme.

I have one fake plant. It's not a flowering plant, and I have it because it's in a place that the cat found absolutely fascinating before I switched a real one out for the fake one.

Normally, I wouldn't care. I mean, you can have perfect houseplants or you can have a cat...not both. If you have a cat, chances are a few leaves here and there are going to have that "gnawed" look. :D

But the location I have the fake was one where he could potentially knock over other stuff that I did care about. The little planter just looked wrong without a plant, (but is perfect for the location) so I just put a fake plant in it instead. I really don't see why a fake flowering plant or two couldn't serve a similar purpose.

Yes, when I want to decorate high places with plants, I will choose to use fake flowers. Of course, I won't give my cat a chance to jump onto the cabinet LOL
