What to put at the base of a fake plant?

Although it can get messy, you might want to add soil to the top of the pot to give your artificial plant more realism. For added greenery and interest, cover the pot with small stones, sand, or pieces of preserved moss. 

Fluffing the artificial plants

Artificial plants are often tightly packed and tied into tight forms during manufacturing to ensure their safety. It is typical to find the plant reluctant to settle into a shape that looks natural after it has been unpacked. The plant will come alive if you carefully open up all the stems and remove the leaves and flowers. Since many of these plants are symmetrical, they may appear artificial. To achieve a more natural appearance, remove a few leaves and smaller stems; just be careful not to go crazy! 

Bend and flex

Bending and shaping the stems is another way to improve the realism. Arrange flowers or leaves in such a way that they face various directions. Occasionally, leaves and stems may be resistant to being manipulated. Using a hair dryer on low heat to warm them up can help. To keep them in their new shape, keep them in place until they cool. 

Steam

Leaves and flowers may get crumpled after being kept in a box before purchase. Steaming gently can help to loosen and open up the leaves. Use extreme caution when utilizing either of these techniques. Don protective gloves, and avoid using heat for extended periods of time. Steam or hot airborne heat can cause skin burns and product damage. 

Make the leaves more shiny

The leaves of new artificial plants may be dull. This might result from manufacturing-related residues. Try a few of these tips to get a natural shine. Liquid is necessary for living plants. First thing in the morning, they frequently have a dewy glow that makes them appear shiny. Use a spritzing bottle to lightly mist the foliage to achieve a similar effect. To clean non-porous leaves, use a damp sponge. When routine upkeep is difficult, hairspray or specialized artificial plant sprays can produce fantastic results and last longer.
