We are firm believers that one home cannot have too much greenery, as they add life and light to any space they grace, and give it a lived-in vibe. If you want to add some trendy greenery to your space, but have a thumb that’s a little less than green, consider adding some cacti and succulents to your home – but not any kind of cacti and succulents, add the artificial kind !If you want to add a trendy home accent to your space, but don’t want to change everything, succulents and cacti can be a game-changer ; they won’t take up a lot of space, they add character, and can easily blend into many types of decor. However, when you buy artificial plants, all of the work that goes into upkeep is not necessary. Artificial succulents will always look picture perfect ! There is no need for watering schedules, specific types of soil, repotting or even a window ! Just pick your pot, planter or vase, and display !
When opting for artificial plants, the choices for where to place it become never ending. Now that you don’t have to worry about your cactus getting enough sun. Bring some light into a window-less bathroom by adding some hanging terrariums with artificial succulents inside. You can also add a fun and playful touch to a basement living room with a potted cactus sitting on your coffee table. If your walk-in closet needs a little lightening-up, the addition of artificial cacti and succulents are sure to add some much-needed brightness ! You’ll never have to worry about the light factor, as your cactus and succulent will be ever-green, ever-lush and ever-gorgeous.
There are so many different ways to display cactus and succulents in any space you choose. Whether you’ve decided to focus on one style of succulent, or want to group them together, the beauty is all in how you’re going to display them.
At Véronneau we have a large selection of pots and planters that will complement any type of home decor. While you may opt for this type of display for larger plants, don’t be shy to consider them for something smaller, like a succulent. Standing planters could be a great option because they’re a little higher off the ground. In a pot like this, consider larger succulents or cacti, like agave heads, cactus stems, or even mother in law’s tongue plants. You can even group them together for a fuller, more impactful effect. You can also pick a smaller, more simple pot, and simply place a more robust cactus, like an Aloe or a Pin Cushion Cactus to the pot, with some artificial moss. Simple, but effective for creating a cozy atmosphere. The deep greens of these artificial plants make them the perfect home accent because they bring light and warmth to your space.
If you’re looking for something a little smaller, consider different types of vases. We currently love the idea of hanging terrariums, which is a small glass vase, that can be hung anywhere in your home. You can group a few of these in different shapes and sizes with different air plants, or small succulents, like echeveria, to create an interesting visual statement, as well as add a trendy addition to your home.
A unique way to add greenery to your home is a green wall. These are available in a large range of sizes, and with an even larger variety of plants. Whether you’re going big or small, an all-succulent wall can be extremely impactful due to the different tones and textures that are available in these artificial plants. However, you can also add foliage and greenery that will complement your cactus perfectly, as well as ensure an impactful piece.
Another way to integrate artificial succulents into your home decor is to use them in your table centerpieces. They can be grouped with decorative wood on a plate, or create a cluster with different sizes and shape of glass vases. Small flower pots with a selection of rich green succulents and cacti look fantastic as a centerpiece. You can either make one yourself, or purchase an artificial floral arrangement pre-made directly from us.
Finally, it’s important to note that when it comes to plants, it doesn’t have to be an either/or situation. You can group different pots together that hold real and artificial plants. One person on the Véronneau team has a gorgeous arrangement of five succulents. Upon having replaced the center plant 5 times, she decided to replace it with an artificial succulent to ensure that her arrangement always looks its best. Don’t be shy to mix it up a little in your home ! Artificial plants will onyl further add to its uniqueness, charm and beauty.
