Artificial House Plants?

I am not a fan of fake plants but I would really like some to put on a window sill to give a bit of privacy. It is on a ledge above a radiator and in my DCs room, so real plants are not really an option.

Does anyone have any suggestions for online retailers that do nice versions?

Thanks

IKEA have a large selection, some more realistic than others, but the best are really good.

Succulents are like fake plants but real. Mine thrive (because I neglect them horribly).

But there are amazing fake ones now! Also, window film has come a long way for privacy.

Several years ago I picked up in a sale at Debbie’s a big glass bowl that was full of fake roses and other flowers set ina gel in the bowl. They are absolutely beautiful, made of delicate fabric, and very lifelike. I've never been a fan of fake plants and flowers, but these are gorgeous, things have moved on from plastic flowers!

Avoid cacti on window ledges though...my DD brought one home from uni and left it in my care, it frequently attacks me if I have the temerity to open a curtain, window or dust the ledge. HmmGrin

Spider plants are really tough, and they're meant to be great at cleaning the air allegedly they can withstand temperature variations, not being watered for weeks equally survive being drowned! They grow well with minimum tlc, have very dainty flowers and easy to propagate.

Try Blooming Artificial. I have a few fairly realistic ones from there.
