I really couldn’t imagine what you were talking about from the title. That is so funny, but I can see it how it would work. Me, i would just make a mess.

Better check the water in the fake plants had somewhere to go, or you could be damaging the furniture or floor under the fake plant.

When my dog/house sitter is here I have post-it notes with instructions all over the house! We aren't usually gone for more than a week, so they are told not to touch my indoor (real & faux) or lanai plants (real).

@ chispa - That might have been a problem if I had been caring for them long term, but she left instructions to water the garden twice a day and mist the indoor plants daily and give water only if something looked like it needed more. She was only going to be gone for a week and the only one I ended up watering was the one in her kitchen window. I was pet sitting as well.

I have bought fake plants and removed some of the foilage/blooms, for that very reason. One was for a space where nothing would grow, and one was orchids for my DD's dorm room. I've not gone to the trouble of using marker.

I told my neighbor how much I liked her trees on her front porch, she told me they were fake, lol. 15 years later they still look great!

I bought a faux fiddle leaf tree from Ballard’s that was just too big, too full and too lushly green. It was pricey so I kept it (even though I hated) it for about a year and was ready to donate it when I got a pair of wire clippers and took off a foot of height and one of the trunks and about half the remaining leaves. It’s still lush and green but looks like it **could** have grown that size. I never thought about coloring the leaves, but have a few brown pens to fix furniture scratches that I might play around with on the undersides of some leaves. Thanks for the idea!

That's way too OCD for me.
