A single faux plant is usually bought to fill one specific spot, so start from the surface it will sit on and work back to size and finish.
- Read the overall height and pot diameter together, since photos of small desk pieces and floor trees look nearly identical online.
- Check the leaf material: silk and fabric leaves read softer indoors, while polyethylene molding shows more realistic veining.
- See whether the listing includes a decorative pot or ships as bare stems you will need to arrange yourself.
Pick the size that matches your shelf or floor space, then compare two or three listings on stem density before deciding.
