Australia's harsh sun, water restrictions and busy lifestyles make artificial plants one of the smartest ways to green up your home, balcony or office. Modern UV-resistant faux plants look remarkably real, never need watering, and stay lush all year round. In this guide we cover the best options from our artificial plants range and how to choose the right one for your space.
Why Choose Artificial Plants in Australia?
- UV-resistant materials - quality faux plants are treated to withstand the harsh Australian sun without fading, making them ideal for balconies, courtyards and pool areas.
- Zero maintenance - no watering, pruning, fertilising or pest control. Perfect for renters, holiday homes and busy households.
- Allergy friendly - no pollen, making them a great choice for hay fever sufferers.
- Year-round greenery - they look identical in January heatwaves and July cold snaps.
Best Artificial Hedges for Privacy Screens
Artificial hedge panels are the fastest way to create a lush privacy screen on a balcony, fence or courtyard wall. The Mixed Boxwood Hedge UV Resistant 100cm x 100cm interlocks with neighbouring panels so you can cover any area, and its mixed-leaf design looks convincingly natural.
For a flowering look, the Jasmine Artificial Hedge Extendable Trellis expands to 2 metres and doubles as a decorative screen for fences and balconies.
Best Artificial Trees for Indoors
A statement tree instantly lifts a living room, entryway or office. Our most popular picks from the artificial trees collection:
- Premium Artificial Areca Palm Tree Real Touch 160cm - real-touch fronds and a natural silhouette that suits coastal and contemporary interiors.
- Artificial Cycas / Cycad Palm Tree 105cm UV Resistant - compact enough for apartments, tough enough for full-sun balconies.
- Artificial Potted Topiary Tree UV Resistant 150cm - a classic formal look for front doors, patios and event styling.
Best Vertical Garden Walls
Short on floor space? A vertical garden wall gives you maximum greenery with zero footprint. The Vista Green Vertical Garden Green Wall UV Resistant 100cm x 100cm mounts directly to brick, timber or fencing and transforms bare walls into a feature.
How to Keep Artificial Plants Looking New
- Dust monthly with a soft cloth or a hairdryer on cool setting.
- Hose down outdoor pieces every few months to remove dust and pollen.
- Use a UV protector spray such as the Home Safe UV Artificial Plants Spray Protector 250ml once or twice a year on sun-exposed pieces to extend their life even further.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are artificial plants OK in full sun?
Only if they are UV resistant. Every product linked in this guide is UV treated, which is essential for Australian conditions - untreated faux plants can fade within months outdoors.

Quality UV-resistant artificial plants typically last 5+ years outdoors and much longer indoors, especially with occasional cleaning and a UV protector spray.
