Editorial Policy

What you can hold us to

This page describes how Une Plante Artificielle is made. It is here so that you can decide how much weight to give anything else on the site.

Where topics come from

We do not plan an editorial calendar. Articles appear when a question has come up often enough to be worth answering properly.

The names on the work

Nothing is published anonymously. A name on a page means somebody can be asked about it later, and that is the only accountability a small site has.

Camille Rousseau, Founder and buyer. Camille started buying artificial plants for a flat with one north facing window and kept a spreadsheet of what survived the years and what turned grey. That spreadsheet became this site. She still does most of the buying, and she pays for it herself.

Owen Bradshaw, Materials and durability. Owen spent years around plastics and coatings before he wrote a word about decor, which is why he is difficult about the phrase UV rated. He runs the fade tests here and reports the ones that go badly as well as the ones that do not.

Priya Raman, Styling and rooms. Priya has decorated rented flats for over a decade, most of them with bad light and rules against drilling. She thinks about scale and placement first and shopping second, which is usually the cheaper order to think in.

Dates

Published means published. We do not bump dates to look active, and an edit only changes the modified date when it changes what the article actually tells you to do.

What we will not publish

• Claims about outcomes that nobody can verify.
• Content produced only to fill a keyword slot.
• Recommendations we would not give a friend who asked in person.

Paid and unpaid links

Yes, some outbound links pay. What they pay for is the hosting bill, not the wording of the assessment sitting next to them.

Requests to soften a verdict are declined, and we keep them on file. More than one has become the subject of its own paragraph later.

From idea to published

1. The writer collects what they already know and marks the parts they cannot support.
2. Those parts are checked against a primary source, an operator document, or direct experience.
3. What survives step two goes into the draft. What does not is cut.
4. A second person reads the draft for claims that sound firmer than the evidence behind them.

How mistakes are handled

Write to info@uneplanteartificielle.com with the page address and what is wrong. Factual errors are fixed quickly. If the correction changes the conclusion of a piece, we add a short note at the foot of the page rather than quietly editing it.
