A real plant adds life to a room. A great artificial plant does the same thing without the upkeep — no watering, no light requirements, no dying. The key is finding one that actually looks real. These two are worth considering.
Floor Plant Pick: Nearly Natural 7ft Triple-Trunk Ficus
NEARLY NATURAL
7ft Triple-Trunk Ficus Silk Tree in Pot
$89.99
Nearly Natural has been making artificial plants for decades and the quality shows. This 7-foot ficus is one of their finest — 1,260 individual silk leaves across a triple-trunk design that reads as natural rather than manufactured, with bendable branches so you can reshape the fullness to fit your space. It arrives pre-potted in a weighted nursery planter, ready to place. We picked the 7ft size over the shorter versions specifically because it reads as an actual floor tree rather than a tabletop accent. Works well in an empty corner, next to a sofa, or anywhere a room needs a vertical anchor. At $90 it's a fraction of what a comparable live tree and its upkeep would cost.

Another Floor Plant Pick: 7ft Faux Olive Tree
MINIMALERA PICK
7ft Faux Olive Tree, Large Artificial Tree
$158.99
A 7-foot olive tree is a room-changing piece. The olive tree is a popular choice in interior design because of its fine silver-green leaves and natural branching structure — it reads as organic and sculptural at the same time. Faux versions in this size work especially well in rooms with high ceilings, empty corners, or next to sofas where a full-sized tree anchors the seating area. At $159 you're getting a significant visual upgrade for a price that's a fraction of what you'd spend on a large potted real tree (plus the maintenance). No watering, no dropping leaves, no issues with low light.

How to Choose
Both are 7-foot floor plants, so this comes down to look. The ficus has denser, brighter green foliage and a triple-trunk structure that reads more classic. The olive tree has fine silver-green leaves and a more sculptural, Mediterranean feel. If you already have warm wood tones in the room, the olive tree tends to complement them especially well. Either works as the single statement plant in a living room or bedroom corner.
