Editorial Policy

The standard we hold ourselves to

Everything published on uneplanteartificielle.com takes the same route from idea to page. This document explains that route so you can judge our work fairly.

Where topics come from

Topics come from three places: reader mail, our own notes, and gaps we notice while reading what else is published. Nothing gets written because a keyword tool suggested it.

How a draft is built

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.

Named writers

Every article carries the name of the person who wrote it and links to their profile. We do not publish under a house byline, because a house cannot be asked to explain itself.

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

The date on an article is the date it was published. When a change alters the advice, we update the modified date and say what changed. Cosmetic edits do not reset the date, because pretending a page is fresher than it is helps nobody.

Commercial links

We earn from some outbound links. That pays for hosting and research time, and it does not decide the verdict of any page. If a partner asks us to remove a criticism, the answer is no, and the request itself may end up mentioned in a future article.

Corrections

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.

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.
