The Most Amazing Faux Plants for Your Home

May 20, 2021

Update your home with a plant that you can't kill with a new collection from Hilton Carter for Target

I'm thrilled the plant trend is taking hold. Plants bring the outdoors indoors and help us all breathe a little easier. But for some of us, keeping a plant alive is a challenge. Me. I'm talking about me. I'm a plant killer. I can keep my garden alive with the help of professionals to water and weed, but my indoor plants suffer at my hands, yes, even succulents. That's why I'm thrilled to share the most amazing faux plants for your home.

The Most Amazing Faux Plants for Your Home

The Hilton Carter for Target collection gives plant lovers another reason to head to Target. There are 65 products included and if you've got a green thumb, there's something for you too! The collection included both live and faux plants plus there are loads of cute home accessories and gardening gear. Like all limited runs at Target, don't wait you don’t want to miss out on getting your hands on these items.

The beauty of these plants is that they are low maintenance and high impact. I just dust them when I do my regular housekeeping.

What I Picked from the Collection

My home got the addition of two new plants from the collection.

Artificial Alocasia Portora Plant: This plant has big glossy, scalloped foliage held upright by thick leaf stalks. It's potted in a chic ribbed ceramic pot and is brightening up the entryway in our home. It works with our blend of farmhouse/mid-century modern decor. ($50)
Artificial Peperomia Obtusifolia Plant: This sits on a kitchen cabinet to brighten up the kitchen. This plant has a shiny mid-sized leaf and looks so happy in my home. ($10)
