welcome...im not sure if it would be better to go for the more pricy fake plant that never dies alternitve...you wont have to water it and you wont pull weeds round it so it will grow...make sure if you do get a fake to know what its made of ...some plaxtics that are hazzardus(to childrenunder 3 couldnt resist) due to the type of plastic or whatever material its made of. real plants are harder to keep thats pretty much all i can recall bout that topic
