What is foliage arrangement?

Is decorating with fake plants tacky?

How do you make fake leaves look real?
One of the easiest and fastest ways to enhance a fake plant is by adding a touch of real, natural elements to its base. Using real-life soil, dirt, sand, rocks, or moss will give your artificial plant an added hint of natural realism while adding a sense of organic texture.
What do you put on top of fake plants?
