Fake plants are back in style as maintenance-free alternatives for wannabe Millennial plant parents.

Fake plants are back in style as maintenance-free alternatives for wannabe Millennial plant parents. Plastic leaves have been spotted at major home décor shopping destinations like CB2, IKEA, Target, and West Elm. The popularity of slightly plastic-looking plants like succulents and cacti has made it easier than ever to make realistic recreations, but startup Slightly Browning Fake Plants (which started as a viral Kickstarter) takes the realism a step further with two and three-week vacation ferns and matching merch like a “Plant Killer” hat (in Millennial pink of course).
