I really love plants. I love how they can completely transform a space, adding visual depth, texture, and a delightful dose of greenery. But after having just finished watering my 38 live plants, I also know full well that they are not exactly low-maintenance — particularly as we move into the warmer months and watering frequency increases.
Not to mention the plants I've lost over the years from trying to house them in spots where the conditions just weren’t suitable — too dark; too near a draft or heat source — and so while, for the most part, I would suggest sticking with the real thing, I can entirely appreciate the merits of artificial options, too; which is why I also have some faux varieties at home as well. The key is that they have to look good. And with that in mind, it stands to reason why I was completely taken by IKEA's new FEJKA Weeping Fig Artificial Potted Plant.
