During the holiday season, Lowe's promotes artificial trees that are always available for purchase. The dimensions of these trees are compatible either with an average living room or a small apartment. An exact height and/or unique branch style, which a business aisle may not have, can be ordered from a supplier who builds according to customer requirements.

One can be tricked by the oversized palms and fiddle-leaf figs because of their size and surface that imitates nature. The use of broad leaves and true-to-life colors provide a very believable effect. The quality of the material is more important than the species - top tier material can turn any fake plant into a very convincing stand-in. Therefore, stems which show changes in color and tiny imperfections are better than flawless ones.

The answer is no. Operators of offices, hotels and malls that were surveyed for the year 2025 still made use of artificial plants because of the fact that they do not require watering, light and are cost effective with regard to maintenance. The latest in moulding and dyeing techniques are able to replicate not only the veins of the leaves but also the bark to such an extent that most people do not spot the difference at first glance.

An artificial tree of approximately 6 feet can cost you $500, whereas a 12 feet tree with a real wood trunk and UV-stabilized leaves can be as much as $5,000. Such trees will be able to keep their shape for a period of five to ten years. On the other hand, the lower-priced trees will lose their color within a short period of a ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌season.
