Oh Hamo - we've been collecting imitation foliage for years, from friends who were moving and also from Goodwill, Michaels, and any other thrift store. I keep an eye out especially for birds of paradise, Anthuriums, hibiscus, orchids. It's funny that since we've also been collecting living plants and learning their names, we can refer to the fake ones as well - Hey, hand me those peperomia, would ya? I hate paying the money they charge for new fake plants at those big box craft stores, so for the vines we actually created them from twine, floral wire, and broken/munched foliage. When I get more stock of random foliage I may post that trick. They are a bit tedious though quite worth it.
