Why choose this stem arrangement
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
-
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.
-
Event and wedding styling — reusable across multiple events, packs down for transport.
-
Office receptions and waiting areas — visual warmth without a plant-maintenance contract.
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
Will the colour fade over time?
UV-stable plastic holds colour in indoor and sheltered outdoor conditions well beyond the 12-month warranty. Direct full-sun outdoor placement over years will eventually dull the foliage, which is not covered — use our panel range for full-sun outdoor use.
Can I use it in a humid bathroom?
Yes — the plastic foliage and frames are unaffected by humidity or steam. Bathrooms are a common install location for artificial greenery where live plants often struggle with temperature and humidity swings.
How do I clean the plant?
Dust every 6–8 weeks with a feather duster or microfibre cloth. For greasy kitchen environments or cafe use, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. No sprays needed — the plastic foliage is washable.
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.
