The Best Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Trees!

After killing two expensive fiddle leaf fig trees, I decided to go faux and am sharing the best faux fiddle leaf fig trees I found!

Fiddle leaf fig trees are absolutely gorgeous and add so much color and life to a room! I prefer living plants to faux when possible but as hard as I’ve tried, I can NOT keep a fiddle leaf fig alive. I bought a living fiddle leaf fig for the family room in our previous home when we first remodeled it and LOVED it! It looked like this right after I got it:

Family room with fabulous art wall around the TV

But week after week it lost more leaves and I was never able to nurse it back to health. I tried a second time with the same result and since these trees aren’t cheap, that’s when I knew it was time to go faux. I checked out every single faux fiddle leaf fig on the market, and found that you get what you pay for. Here’s the low-down on the best faux fiddle leaf fig trees… (affiliate links included – full disclosure statement available {here}).

Most Realistic Fiddle Leaf Fig Trees

There are lots of fiddle leaf fig tree options and the best one for you depends upon what size and fullness you’re looking for. These are my favorites:

Source Links: 1. 7′ fiddle leaf fig tree  |  2. 22″ fiddle leaf fig tree  |  3. 57″ fiddle leaf fig tree  |  4. 84″ fiddle leaf fig tree  |  5. 72″ super full fiddle leaf fig tree  |  6. 15″ tabletop size fiddle leaf fig tree  |  7. 66″ fiddle leaf fig tree (comes in basket)  |  8. 84″ fiddle leaf fig tree  |  9. 7′ fiddle leaf fig tree (mine!)

I chose one of the tallest ones that looked the most realistic to me which is {this fiddle leaf fig tree}. I LOVE how it looks:

The best, most realistic faux fiddle leaf fig tree!

Mine is the 7 footer and it’s quite tall and full. The leaves are very realistic! When you’re up really close to the tree, the trunk of the tree doesn’t look as realistic as I’d like but I found that was the case with every faux fiddle leaf fig tree out there. It comes wrapped in a small burlap base – I put in in {this same woven basket} that I had my real fiddle leaf fig tree in:

A woven basket is the perfect "pot" for an indoor tree! Link to basket included in post!

What if you want to try your hand at a living fiddle leaf fig before going faux? Home Depot is the best place to find a reasonably priced living one! Here’s the scoop:

Fiddle Leaf Figs at Home Depot

Home Depot is a great place to find real fiddle leaf figs but.. they don’t always have them. They tend to be seasonal and come in stock in spring and summer so that’s the best time to look. Also, we have multiple Home Depot stores around us and there is one that tends to get them much more often than the others so you might find it worthwhile to call around and ask if you have more than one Home Depot store in your area. And believe it or not, if you want to first try your hand at a small fiddle leaf fig, you can buy them online from Home Depot {here} and {here}. The reviews are surprisingly good!

A small fiddle leaf fig with great reviews that you can order online!So what do you think – are you going to try out a living fiddle leaf fig first or go straight to faux?

    Like these ideas. I’m only left with 1 jade plant now that I have kiddos who like to dig and very little “up high” space. I’m going to put it in a more decorative container now!

      I totally get that – my kids knocked one of my plants over onto the carpet when they were little and that was the end of plants at my house for years!

    I just love greenery. I have a mix of silk lambs ear and some real plants. If my live plants last a month – I’m doing great, too! I just found your blog via Pinterest – your burlap backed bookcase post. Loving it!

    Love the space it looks gorgeous! What size basket did you buy for your fiddle tree? Your link sends me to all three sizes. I am hoping I can get an order in for their family & friends event. Love following your blog!
