Artificial Plants Toronto & GTA

Artificial plants for Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area — faux trees, potted greenery and green wall panels shipped across Canada to homes, design studios, restaurants, offices and hotels, from Etobicoke through the downtown core and out to Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham and Scarborough. Toronto buys greenery for a specific reason: a long dark winter, and a great deal of glass-and-concrete interior that never sees usable daylight.

Where can I find real-looking fake plants in Toronto?

Look past the foliage to the trunk. The single reliable tell between a convincing tree and a cheap one is whether the trunk has real taper, bark texture and irregular branching, or is a wrapped plastic pole with foliage clipped on in even rings. After that, check the leaf: a real leaf carries two or three greens and a matte surface, and mass-produced foliage carries one flat colour and a shine. Toronto's specialist field is small, so it is worth comparing ranges directly — Best Sellers is the fastest way in.

Do you deliver across the GTA?

Yes. Everything on this page ships across Canada, GTA addresses included — Toronto proper, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Pickering and Ajax. Large specimens are the ones worth planning ahead for: a 10 or 12 foot tree needs a clear route through the building, and most downtown condo towers require a booked service elevator and a loading-dock window. Measure the lift car before ordering anything over eight feet, and check the turn at the top of the stairs in a semi or a townhouse.

How to choose the right size

Toronto's housing stock splits neatly by era. Pre-war semis and post-war bungalows run 8-foot ceilings, where 5 to 6 ft is the sensible maximum. Condo towers built since 2010 usually give 9 feet, occasionally 10 in a loft conversion or penthouse, which opens up a 7 to 8 ft specimen. Hotel and office lobbies — the Bay Street corridor, the newer Liberty Village and Distillery District builds — are double-height, and that is where 10 to 12 ft trees belong. Start with Medium Trees (2–7 ft) for a home, or Commercial Artificial Plants for a hospitality or office fit-out.

Frequently asked questions

Do artificial plants need light in a north-facing condo?

No, and that's the practical reason they suit Toronto's glass towers so well. A faux tree or plant holds its colour and shape regardless of how much daylight a unit gets, which matters in a downtown condo where a living plant would slowly thin out in a room that only catches indirect light for a few hours. There's nothing to position near a window for growth — placement is a purely visual decision.

How do we keep an artificial plant dust-free in a Toronto apartment?

Dust with a soft brush, a microfibre duster, or a vacuum on low suction with a brush attachment, worked from the top down. A cool hairdryer on low airflow clears dust from tight foliage clusters a brush can't reach. Forced-air heating through a Toronto winter tends to circulate more dust than a milder climate would, so plan on dusting every few weeks through the heating season rather than only occasionally. Full method in our cleaning guide.

Can we put artificial plants on a Toronto balcony over the winter?

Only where the product page states outdoor or covered-outdoor placement — most greenery on this page is styled for indoor rooms. Where a piece is rated for it, UV-stabilised foliage and a weighted or secured pot matter more than the cold itself, since a high-rise balcony deals with wind as much as freeze-thaw. See artificial plants outdoors in a Canadian winter before moving anything outside.

Does a floor tree arrive ready to place, given condo move-in restrictions?

No — floor trees ship in sections and need assembly, typically a trunk in parts with branch clusters that slot in and need fanning out by hand. Plan this for after the tree clears the building's loading dock and service elevator, not before, since a boxed tree is easier to move through a condo corridor than an assembled one. See our unboxing and shaping guide for what to expect by size.

Do these plants come already potted?

It depends on the product — some ship in a finished decorative pot and some ship as tree or plant only, which is common where the piece is meant to go into a specific console or planter already in the space. Check the individual product page before ordering. See our planter guide if you need to source a container separately.
