Jessica (@missjessicanicoblog) shared the design advice in a TikTok video.

She decided to upgrade to fake plants after ‘giving up’ real plants.

“I find it very difficult to keep plants alive on this porch,” she explained.

“I’m saving more innocent plant lives and using fake Amazon stems to make my own.”

To simulate the illusion of real plants, she stuffed her large planter with boxes to compensate for most of the height.

For the remaining space at the top, she filled in the gaps with foam green blocks.

The last piece of the puzzle was a bundle $25 fern stems from Amazon, who glued them to the foam blocks until they looked full and natural.

She made sure all areas where the foam blocks were visible were covered and was happy with the game-changer makeover.

“I absolutely love it and I love it even more that I don’t have to worry about keeping it alive,” she joked.

Those who didn’t have a green thumb understood her struggle and praised her creative solution.

‘Genius! And I know I won’t kill him!’ said one commenter.

“The only plants I can keep alive,” joked another.

Jessica even had a solution to make the plants look as realistic as possible.

One commenter was skeptical of the tip because they were concerned about how legitimate the plants might look.

“Until they fade and look plastic. I only use them in winter,” they said.

“I could try injecting them with Sunguard!” Jessica replied.

Many were happy after trying the trick for themselves.

“I did this, but with artificial boxwood, because I had already killed two and couldn’t take the money used to replace them,” said one commenter.

“So happy with it!”

“I love it! I did the same and two years later I still have beautiful looking plants,” said another.
