Hi there! I’m Jasmine Roth, creator of this Blog, founder of Built Custom Homes, curator of my online retail store The Shop by Jasmine Roth and host of HGTV’s hit show Hidden Potential. I was also on HGTV’s Rock the Block, but I won’t spoil the winner for you 😉 Building custom homes in Huntington Beach, CA is my bread and butter. I love all aspects of the home building process and finding ways to make homes as personal, functional and beautiful as possible. Join me as we explore my projects, DIY’s, behind-the-scenes peeks, and tips on how you can design beautiful, functional spaces in your own home. Let’s build something together!

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: I use a LOT of fake plants. Like, seriously, a lot. If you’re sitting there watching my show Hidden Potential, or even Rock the Block, and you see a plant, chances are… it’s fake. But I don’t just use fake plants for styling for TV and photo shoots. They’re all over my own house – for real!
Now, I don’t just buy any fake plants, because there are some out there that don’t look like the real thing. But there are some fake ones that are SO GOOD, you won’t even believe it. I’m not kidding, Brett and I have a few that he’s watered on accident. Way to go, Brett, ha!
Don’t get me wrong, I like a real plant as much as the next person. But I’m so busy with work and a four-month-old baby and life in general, that I love having plants that look pretty but require zero attention from me. Next, the trick to making these fake plants look real is putting them in a really beautiful planter that complements the plant. I take this seriously, guys. So I put together some of my fave fake plants and fake planters below to show you how to do this yourself.
Okay, so those are some awesome plant and pot combos if I do say so myself. Now I’m about to share with you my super secret list of fake plant faves. I have multiples of some of these because they’re just that good. That Pencil Succulent below? It’s the best fake plant IN LIFE. I have them all over my house.
I’m going to invest in a few .. These are all very realistic looking & thats what we want! Thank You!
Where did you get the succulent plant in the opening pick? It’s not listed in the blog.
We have a few artificial plants, mostly succulents right now. Love them, and the nearly zero maintenance. Will be looking to add a couple more soon.
Going to have to invest in some of these plants they really are real looking!!
In the second picture when did you buy the fiddle fig and palm? Also in obsessed with the lantern, when can I buy one? 😊
