Let’s face it: not everyone has the time or sunlight to keep real succulents alive. Fake plants are the good choice. Realistic faux succulents exist, and they’re easier to find than you think. Here’s where to shop, what to avoid, and how to score deals.
Big-Box Stores: Cheap and Cheerful
IKEA and Target are goldmines for budget-friendly fake succulents. Look for ones with matte finishes and uneven textures (avoid anything shiny or overly symmetrical). Their mini potted varieties cost under $10 and blend well in shelves or desks.
Pro tip: Check the clearance section after holidays—seasonal decor often includes plant-like items.
Walmart and Michaels also stock decent options, especially during spring gardening months.
Online Retailers:
Amazon
Search terms matter: Try “realistic fake succulents” or “lifelike artificial plants.” Read reviews mentioning “textured leaves” or “natural colors.” Brands like Nearly Natural or Pure Garden deliver quality without designer prices.
