Areca Palm

I had looked at several hobby, craft, and home decor stores, trying to find the perfect fake plant for a large pot I had. Some look too fake, some were way over-priced, some are not too tall, and others not full enough. I was super skeptical ordering these online, without being able to see the quality and condition in person. I was super nervous about them being damaged in shipping. I've bought fake flowers off Amazon before and had them come in horrible shape--NOT THESE! This seller/manufacturer did an amazing job. They arrived 2 trees together in one long box. It was light and easy to move around, even with my sore back. They were packaged perfectly and quite safe. I was actually quite impressed with how they were able to protect even the leaves from bends and fold marks. At first I didn't realize there was a ribbon tying the trunk pots in place inside the box, and I was afraid of damaging it while tugging it out. After cutting the ribbon, it came right out and was easy to remove it from the package. I saw the other photos that reviewers had placed online, and had hoped 1 tree by itself would work well and look full, but my pot was VERY large and over-sized. I put both trees in the same pot, and just put the existing dirt around it to hold the pots in place and give it a more genuine potted look. It was super easy to fluff the leaves of 2 trees in a way that made them look like 1 large plant. We under-estimated how hard you have to bend and pull to separate the thick wires of each individual stem. Don't be afraid to apply force and really pull and bend hard...they won't break! They fluffed quite well and look very realistic! We were super happy with how it turned out. So full...so large...it really fills in my large space and compliments my other potted plants well. The black pot the fake palm comes with is very small and lightweight (only 7" diameter and maybe 8-10" tall)...so expect to put it inside a larger pot and support around it and/or weigh it down if you plan to use them outdoors. We are in Florida, and had a big storm blow through within its first week outside. It held up fine and didn't tip over or lose any leaves. Mine is inside a screen enclosure by the pool...so it has a little wind protection but is still quite exposed to the elements. The color did not run in the rain and it appears to be holding up well. My family was so surprised to hear it was fake. It looks so good in person. You really can't tell at all...even up close...especially if you use dirt and rock and natural products at its base to make it look "planted."Since my original review, I’ve bought it 2 other times! Happy every time. Consistent results!! I’ve got some on my front porch, some outdoors by the pool, and even some inside. Love them in all sizes. Sometimes I use just 1, sometimes 2 in the same pot…just depends on the look you need.

For starters, I had 2 real palm plants that were constantly making me Google what the heck was wrong with them - am I watering them too much, too little? Why were leaves yellowing and why this and why that. Then I decided on just getting fake versions that would permanently look like healthy plants AND with zero upkeep (NO MORE WATERING, etc.). After doing tons of research on Amazon and reading all the horrible reviews and positive ones (the photos did help me decide and why I included my own), I purchased these. Both plants were nicely packed together so both arrived in excellent condition. Once I removed the plants and unwrapped them, I ditched the old plants and replaced their white planters/pots with these 2 new ones. I was beyond thrilled with their height (much taller than my ditched ones) and loved how heavy the small base is (if you're putting them outdoors, I suggest you fill the pot plant with rocks or dirt to keep plant from falling over due to a wind gust - common sense, folks!). Once I started shaping the leaves/branches, my head was blown. The plants not only looked gorgeous but realistic (see photos for yourselves). Once I placed them in their intended spots, I shaped the leaves even more and couldn't believe how real and incredible they look. A 200% improvement over the original real plants I had and which were a constant struggle trying to keep them looking healthy. Knowing I don't have to water these is such a relief. Fully recommend these on every possible level.

Great

People seem to love this or really dislike it... but guys - its FAKE - it will never be perfect.Best at a distance - my only comment is that the 'stems' are very visible - and while the leaves look very realistic, the stems are obviously plastic. I'll take the brown markers that they use to touch up furniture to give the green stems some mottled color... but otherwise, these do what they promise to give some tropical green indoors. BTW - I live where palms grow like weeds... but for my rental units, guests never water them and after a few stays they start to look sad. These should hold up well and enhance all the social media photos better than the real thing! Not perfect... but I would buy again.

I don’t have a green thumb so I decided to go with artificial greenery. It was important to find UV resistant plants since they would be outside. Got these on a Spring Prime Sale. They were bigger than I thought. You do have to bend the leaves and stems to give it more of a natural shape but that’s easy enough to do. The pot at the base is small, so you will have to put into a larger container. I recommend using rocks to ensure the base is sturdy enough as to not fall or blow over. So far, I’m happy with this purchase. Time will tell on how well it holds up against the rays of the sun.

These trees are wonderful. You can position the branches/leaves in any way you want. They we ready to go straight out of the box and secured great inside the box for shipping. There was even a ticket inside the box to receive a free desk plant. Just email as instructed, provide the information they request and you'll get a confirmation. I haven't received it yet but it's only been two days. Excited to see if it really comes and what it looks like! I only wish it had a heavier base because without a pot of your own they will tip over but that is on me to resolve. The coloration is beautiful, there is no weird smell and they add a perfect sense of warmth to your home. Very happy with this purchase. Wonderful product and wonderful customer service. (I wasn't paid or received anything in exchange for a positive review, I'm just very happy with this purchase)

These are perfect for adding a touch of greenery to your home or outside. I don’t have a green thumb so this works great for me. These are tall and beautiful. I haven’t had any issues with the leaves falling from my tree that’s outside. I think this is a great value for the price. And they are easy to assemble.

Definitely not as full as they lead you to believe. It also looks to be the same as sold at Walmart for a little less money. If they added a few more palm fronds this would be 5 stars. I'll keep it but add fronds when I find singles.

وايد عيبني يبين انه حقيقي وماشاء الله كبير واهم شيء انك تقدر تتحكم بميلان الاغصان لانها مطاطية وسهلة الحركة

Så fin. Blev jättenöjd. Framförd till dörren, ingen kostnad. Precis så stor som det stod. Lätt att forma grenarna. Kanonbra.
