It’s become a total myth that artificial plants look fake. That’s right, we said it. It’s just not true, anymore.

If you’re buying your first artificial plant, it’s a natural question to pose: what material is used to make faux plants.
What Is Faux Plant Material?
The material used to make artificial plants can vary according to the plant and their specific aesthetic requirements. For example, creating an Areca palm tree will be different than a succulent. A Monstera plant will not necessarily have the same high-grade plastics as a faux fern. Etc.
To simplify it, what we use are high-grade polymers, polyester, and fabrics. How we use this depends on the plant’s natural look, feel, and shape. At all times, we opt for the most eco-friendly plastics and materials possible. This is central in our commitment to remaining a sustainable artificial plant brand.
Through what technology has allowed us to do combined with expert-level design teams in Montreal and New York, Artiplanto consistently achieves some highly-realistic faux plant looks across all of its plants.
Even down to the texture, it’s unbelievable. The hyper-realistic texture and how materials are formed, you don’t get that same plastic feel that you do buying fake plants from Walmart, Amazon, IKEA, or Target.
Faux Plants Are Made From Non-Toxic Materials
Although this differs according to the brand, at Artiplanto.com, all of our artificial plants are non-toxic. We do not use any cheap dangerous plastics and all of our materials are taken from responsible sources.
This is why, if you have young children or pets that like to chew things, we often advertise our premium artificial plants as an alternative to potentially dangerous and toxic real houseplants. Faux plants do not contain any lead, mercury, cadmium, or other toxins. While it’s not food, it won’t poison a person or animal if they accidentally ingest it.
