Artificial Ficus Tree — 180cm UV-Resistant Indoor / Outdoor
The 180cm Artificial Ficus Tree delivers the scale of a mature indoor plant without the pot-watering schedule or the light-angle anxiety. UV-resistant polyethylene leaves, a textured trunk with realistic bark detail, and a shape that reads convincingly as a living Ficus from standard room distance.

Why choose this Ficus tree
A real 180cm Ficus needs indirect light, regular watering, and a careful eye for root rot. Get any of those wrong and you're left with a $400 stick. The artificial version delivers the same visual presence — the tall, layered canopy that anchors a living room or lobby — with none of the ongoing care decisions.
Leaf quality is where artificial trees usually fail. Cheap imports use flat, same-coloured leaves that read as fake from across the room. This tree uses varied leaf tones and natural veining on polyethylene — which holds its shape and colour year-round, indoors or under shelter.
Where it works
-
Living rooms and lounges — anchors empty corners and adds vertical height.
-
Office receptions and waiting areas — scale without a maintenance contract.
-
Hotel lobbies and boutique retail — consistent presentation across seasons.
-
Covered outdoor patios — adds greenery to pergolas and covered alfresco zones.
-
Event styling — reusable tree for weddings, functions, and photo shoots.
Installation — 3 steps
- Unbox and stand the tree upright — the base is weighted.
- Drop into your chosen planter (30–40cm diameter suits the base).
- Shape the branches — they ship compressed for transport and need 5 minutes of teasing.

Artificial trees vs real trees — the honest comparison
A 180cm living Ficus will outperform this artificial version in air quality and feel. That is the fair trade-off. Where artificial wins: you do not need to move it toward light in winter, it won't drop leaves on carpet, it won't die during a two-week holiday, and it won't need replacing every few years when light conditions change. For offices, rentals, holiday homes, and anyone who has already killed a real Ficus — artificial makes sense. Read the full comparison →

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 180cm look like in a standard room?
At 2.4–2.7m ceiling heights, a 180cm tree reaches roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of the way up — the ideal ratio for a corner feature tree. In lower-ceilinged rooms the tree still works but will feel more prominent.
Can I plant it in a ceramic pot or only the supplied base?
The tree ships with an internal plastic base that drops straight into a decorative planter 30–40cm in diameter. No repotting or soil required — just stand it inside your chosen pot for a finished look.
How realistic does the trunk look?
The trunk is a hand-finished moulded composite with bark-like texture and colour variation, not a flat glossy plastic finish. It reads convincingly as real bark from conversation distance — the detail most cheap artificial trees get wrong.
Will the polyethylene leaves fade if I put it by a window?
Indoor use including sunny window positions is well within the UV tolerance. Continuous full-sun outdoor is where we draw the warranty line — covered patio, shaded corner, or indoor placement all sit comfortably inside the 12-month warranty.
How do I clean the leaves?
Dust once every 6–8 weeks with a microfibre cloth or feather duster. For grease-prone kitchens, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. No sprays needed — the polyethylene is washable.
What does the warranty cover?
12-month warranty on trunk integrity, foliage retention, and colour stability under normal indoor or sheltered outdoor use. Damage from full-sun outdoor placement, pets, or accidental impact is not covered.
Do you ship trees from Melbourne?
Yes. Free Australia-wide shipping with same-week Melbourne dispatch, and Melbourne click-and-collect where stock allows. Trees ship in long boxes — check access dimensions before ordering for apartment deliveries.
Can I return it if it doesn't fit the space I imagined?
Contact our team through the contact page to discuss options. Trees must be returned in original packaging — they ship compressed and need the original box for safe transit.
