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

To start, I have a pair of FocusAudio fs 788, I bought a pair of 5' silk plants. My room is approx. 14, 17 they seem to have more of an absorbing effect, lost a touch of low and mid band which in turn made the high end more prominant, but of course thinner sounding....anyone want to buy a couple silk plants?
