Unfortunately, this isn’t common knowledge. During our decades-long experience working in the artificial plant industry, we’ve realized that clients assume that all faux plants on the market are safe and suitable for residential use.

As sad as it is to say, this is not the case.

The artificial plant industry is not globally regulated. There are no must-follow rules and guidelines to manufacture, test, and sell artificial plants.

This results in suppliers shelling out cheap, low-quality artificial plants with a vague understanding of materials and processes. And that’s exactly why you should do your research before buying.

Below, we’ll tell you how to choose a family and pet-safe artificial plant, what to look out for, and how to ensure a supplier isn’t pulling the wool over your eyes.

Let’s dig in.

Buying a family and pet-safe artificial plant means getting a high-quality product that’s undergone rigorous testing and has the reports to prove it.

To ensure your family and pets are safe from harmful chemicals and can enjoy the beauty of your chosen artificial plants for years, you’ll need to consider the following:

Certifications

A high-quality artificial plant will have a detailed list of certifications earned based on testing and inspections. For example, at Designer Plants, we have various badges and certificates to ensure our artificial greenery is safe, durable, and high-quality, including:

  • RoHS certificates that prove there are no harmful substances in the material

  • REACH certificates that vet the compliance of our supply chain

  • SGS certificates that ensure we meet the standards of quality and safety

  • ISO certificates that cement our quality management systems
