Live indoor plants have a high attrition rate in Australian homes. Air conditioning dries them out. Winter heating finishes the job. Low-light rooms (hallways, bathrooms, dining rooms used twice a week) starve them. Travel weeks finish off whatever survived. Artificial removes the variable.
The Designer Vertical Gardens indoor plant range covers succulents, ferns, peace lily, orchids, jasmine, lavender, boxwood balls, palms, fiddle leaf, monstera, money plants, and trailing varieties. Sizes run from 15cm desktop pieces through to 60cm floor-standing plants. For larger statement pieces, see the indoor tree range.
Every plant is built with RealTex foliage on an LDPE base for natural colour variation, leaf-vein detail, and texture density. Plants ship in a black travel pot designed to slip inside a decorative outer pot, or as pre-potted decorator pieces ready to display. Commonly searched as fake indoor plants, faux houseplants, or artificial indoor plants.
Heated and cooled air strips humidity from indoor environments. Most tropical houseplants (the species sold at nurseries) need 50 to 60 percent humidity. Australian homes run at 30 to 45 percent in conditioned rooms. The result is brown leaf tips, drop, and slow decline.
Hallways, internal bathrooms, dining rooms used twice a week, and bedrooms with closed blinds get a fraction of the light houseplants need. Marketing claims about "low-light" plants typically mean tolerant of medium-low, not tolerant of dark.
The most common cause of houseplant death is overwatering. The second is forgetting to water during travel weeks. Both come down to inconsistency rather than neglect.
Many popular indoor plants (lily, pothos, philodendron, peace lily) are toxic to cats and dogs. Live flowering plants release pollen that aggravates hay fever and asthma in roughly 30 percent of the population.
Most indoor plants ship in a black travel pot designed to slip inside a decorative outer pot. As a rule, the outer pot should be roughly 30% wider than the foliage spread. Smaller and the plant looks crammed. Larger and the pot starts to dominate the planting. For grouped arrangements, vary pot finishes and heights rather than matching them. Browse pots and planters.

Yes. The terms fake indoor plants, faux houseplants, artificial indoor plants, and silk plants describe the same product category. The Designer Vertical Gardens range covers desktop plants through to 60cm floor-standing varieties, with larger pieces in the dedicated indoor tree range.
At normal indoor viewing distance (one to two metres), the plants are difficult to distinguish from live specimens. Leaf-vein detail, colour variation between leaves, and texture at the petal level are produced by RealTex technology built into the foliage material. The travel pot is the giveaway. A decorative outer pot resolves it completely.
Compact desktop and shelf pieces from 15cm to 35cm. Mid-size table and console pieces from 35cm to 50cm. Floor-standing indoor plants from 50cm to 60cm. Larger floor-standing trees from 100cm to 300cm sit in the dedicated indoor tree collection.
The foliage is RealTex on an LDPE base. RealTex produces colour variation, leaf-vein detail, and texture depth at the surface. LDPE is the structural material that holds the leaf shape. Stems and trunks are wired so branches can be flexed and arranged.
No watering, fertilising, pruning, or sunlight. Dust accumulates on top-facing foliage every few months. Wipe with a soft dry cloth, or use artificial plant cleaner spray for deeper cleaning. Avoid harsh solvents or pressure cleaning.
Yes. The foliage is non-toxic and contains no pesticides, fertilisers, or live plant matter. There is no pollen, sap, or allergen profile. Unlike many real houseplants (lily, pothos, philodendron, peace lily) which are toxic to cats and dogs, the artificial versions carry no toxicity risk. Smaller children should not be left unsupervised with desktop plants that contain wire stems or breakable decorative pots.
Indoor plants in this range are not rated for prolonged direct sun. A north-facing window with afternoon sun will fade indoor-only foliage over time. For positions that get strong direct sun (atriums, windowsills, conservatories), choose from the dedicated UV-resistant range, which is SGS-tested to 5,000 hours.
Yes. Humidity, steam, and lack of natural light do not affect artificial plants. Bathrooms are one of the most common positions for artificial ferns and orchids precisely because real plants struggle there. The foliage is rinseable with clean water if it accumulates condensation or product overspray.
The stylist rule is that one significant green feature per room reads as styled, two reads as intentional, and three or more reads as a curated arrangement. Most living rooms work well with one statement plant plus one or two smaller pieces. Hallways, bathrooms, and bedrooms typically take just one piece.
Yes. The range is specified by office fitouts, hotels, restaurants, clinics, salons, aged-care facilities, and retail stores across Australia. Trade and reseller accounts are available on application. For fire-rated installations in public buildings, refer to the fire-rated product range.
All indoor plants carry a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
Delivery is calculated at checkout based on order size and shipping address. Small plants ship in standard satchels. Larger floor-standing pieces may require freight handling. Full delivery information is on the FAQ & Delivery page.
