Fake plants behind speakers a good idea?

I have 2.5 feet from the back of my floorstanders to the wall, and 3.5 to the side, I have seen some people placing silk plants behind their speaker, good idea or not
would the silk plant cause diffraction or absortion
thx

Live plants enjoy music; to set plastic ones behind the speakers is to waste the "psychic energy" which real plants could enjoy. However, it was found that in basement home theaters plants were not influenced positively by the music, and they died. This is why you never see plants in commercial theaters.
