Get any of those wrong and you're left with a $400 stick.

Cheap imports use flat, same-coloured leaves that read as fake from across the room.

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. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/benefits-of-artificial-hedges\"\u003eRead the full comparison →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Forever Hedge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e★ Verified buyer reviews via Judge.me\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003e12-month warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e on accessories, plants, and installation parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ UV-stable materials tested for Australian conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Free shipping Australia-wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Melbourne click-and-collect available\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Price Match Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"fh-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fh-faq-item\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"fh-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does 180cm look like in a standard room?\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"fh-faq-a\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 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.
