Why choose this artificial plant
The trade-off is honest: a real version of this plant will outperform on air quality and living-thing feel. That's the fair comparison. Where artificial wins is everywhere else — it won't die during a holiday, won't drop leaves, won't need repotting, and won't need replacing every few years when light conditions shift.
For rentals, holiday lets, offices, hospitality venues, and photo-studio styling, the maintenance-free factor usually wins. Add in consistent appearance across seasons and the artificial version is the pragmatic call.
Where it works
-
Dining rooms and hallways — statement greenery that doesn't need moving for natural light.
-
Bedroom and study corners — organic softness in spaces that often lack natural light.
-
Covered outdoor patios and verandahs — sheltered outdoor greenery that won't die in a cold snap.
-
Living rooms and lounges — anchors empty corners and adds organic shape to the furniture arrangement.
-
Bathroom and laundry styling — high-humidity spaces where live plants often struggle.
Installation
- Unbox and unfold the product — foliage ships compressed for transit and needs a few minutes of teasing to final shape.
- Place in your chosen spot — standard flat surface, pot, or shelf works for most plant types.
- Shape the branches, stems, or foliage by hand until the arrangement looks natural from your main viewing angle.

Buying guide
Choosing between a live and artificial version comes down to the room conditions and the owner's time. Spaces with consistent natural light, a reliable watering routine, and stable humidity suit live plants. Offices with fluorescent lighting, rentals with tenant turnovers, holiday homes, and anywhere low-light favour the artificial version — where realism and UV stability matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it ship?
Plants and stems ship in protective cartons with foliage compressed for transit. Trees ship in long boxes — check apartment access dimensions if you're ordering tree-size products.
What material is the foliage made from?
UV-stable virgin plastic — typically polyethylene for leaves and fabric or silk for flowers where used. The plastic is inert, non-toxic, and handles dusting and wipe-cleaning without degradation.
Do you ship nationally from Melbourne?
Yes. Free Australia-wide shipping with same-week dispatch from our Melbourne warehouse, and Melbourne click-and-collect for same-day pickup when stock is on hand.
How realistic does it look?
Realistic from conversation distance — varied leaf tones, natural veining, and hand-finished arrangement work together to hold the illusion. Visitors typically need to touch the plant to confirm it isn't living, which is the main spec we design for.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
The plastic materials are non-toxic, but like any decorative object they should not be chewed on. Plastic leaves can cause digestive issues if eaten. Keep out of reach of pets that are inclined to chew, same as any decorative plant.
Can I use this outdoors?
The product is rated for indoor and sheltered outdoor use — covered patios, verandahs, undercover entries. Full-sun continuous outdoor exposure falls outside the 12-month warranty. For full-sun outdoor positions, our panel range offers a 3-year warranty instead.
What does the 12-month warranty cover?
Foliage retention, colour stability, frame or trunk integrity, and material quality under normal indoor or sheltered outdoor use. Damage from full-sun outdoor placement, pets, accidental impact, or modification is not covered.
How big is this product in real life?
The dimensions are listed in the title and key specs above — 35cm where stated. Measure your space and check against the listed size before ordering. If you need a different size, browse our full range or contact our team for recommendations.
