I'm after buying a fake house plant for near front door - I want something about 5ft tall and not more then about 18" width.
Been looking online and some of these fake bamboo trees look nice or even a fake cactus but only problem is they are all online places. Can't seem to find any diy shops like B & Q selling them or homebase but as being fake they may not look good so i want to see them in flesh first - anyone have any idea where might sell the sort of thing I'm after, as i dont wish to spend hours driving round various shops to find nothing.
Incidentally if anyone was watching 'come dine with me' yesterday (5/6/12) from Burton-on-trent the woman hosting it had something like what I'm after by her front door.
Can't even seem to find anything in any garden centres near me either - any help?

 

ebay, or department stores, or find someone who has one and ask?
Also try shopfitters?

 

Don't want to risk ebay as i wish to see in person first and don't know anyone with one.

 

Also in looking online what I'm after is also sold as office plants but they all seem to be on rental basis-must be able to buy somewhere tho but where?

 

I know it's on-line but I bought a couple from Viking some time ago and they were fine. Here are some but more expensive than I imagined.

Excellent quality but it comes as a cost !

 

Ikea do fake plants if you have one nearby.
