Artificial plant (312/365)

I saw this red fig looking thing near the elevator today. I think it serves as an ornament. Its redness is so catching that i had to take a quick picture of it before i got on the elevator.

I understand that shopping centres or even offices sometimes use artificial plants as a ornament but i simply don't get it why households will use such decorations. Maybe it is the love for plants yet don't want to maintain it or it could be people who likes plants to be other colours, other than green.

oh well..
