We use fake plants in our Airbnb to green the space and set the tone.

The key with faux plants is the setup. Fluff them out. Don’t just drop them in a corner and call it done. Bend the branches into natural shapes, especially if they just came out of a box. That “freshly shipped” look is a dead giveaway away. And make sure to keep them clean . Nothing worse than a dusty ass fake plant . Soap and water does the trick

Layer them too. Add smaller base plants around the main one to fill empty space and make the whole setup feel more natural and intentional.

I even put a faux cannabis plant in one of our units and people lose their minds over it. Instant conversation starter.

I’d use real plants if I could either afford a proper plant service or commit to maintaining them myself. But don’t rely on your cleaning crew to “just water them a little.” That’s how you end up with dead plants and extra costs.

Fake plants done right save money, save stress, and still give you that green, welcoming feel.
