Closer to Nature Artificial 5ft Lady Palm Tree - Artificial Silk Plant and Tree Range

I ordered this tree to fill a space in my living room. The particular area doesn't get an awful lot of natural light, so a real tree was out of the question as it would have died within days and I am no Percy Thrower!The tree arrived flat packed, like a Christmas tree, and the branches need to be splayed out and the leaves arranged in a realistic formation. I would definitely recommend spending time doing this, don't rush it, as the more effort and time you spend on this the more realistic the finished artical will be.The branches are wound with coconut hair, to make it look more authentic, which is a very good idea as this hides the shine of the plastic.It also has it's own terracota pot, which is a nice touch, but I would recommend putting it in a more stylish pot (maybe rattan or wicker) to give it a more homely look.I would say the colouring of the leaves has been well thought-out as there is a good mix of greens, rather than everything being the same colour. My only criticism would be, that the leaves could be a little less shiney and more matt in places.I love the real Rhapis Palms and whilst this is a very good imitation tree, you have to remember that it is just that "imitation" and chose your placement wisely.If you put it in a brightly lit area it will undoubtedly look fake in a more dimly lit corner it looks surprisingly realistic. Just remember not to water it!The price is quite reasonable, considering a real Rhapis Palm of the same size would definitely cost more and in my case, would've died within days anyway.

The plant is good value for money, it looks good but some of the leaves just looks artificial (the very pale green ones) , while others look very good 👍 I like my plant,

I needed a artificial plant as it sits beside a radiator, this plant look real. It too a few days to open up fully.

Absolutely love this artificial plant 😍 I had a corner in my lounge that was empty so I needed something to fill that area. I decided on the 5ft size and wow it’s huge! Looks very realistic and has changed the way my lounge looks. It’s quite heavy and needs a sturdy pot otherwise it’ll just tip over. I also just attached a couple of leaves to the wall for extra safety. Absolutely would recommend!

Brilliant plant. Looks better tha my real ones! Bought it to hide a lot of wires in a cold corner, near a door where most real plants wouldn’t survive. Arrived beautifully & carefree wrapped with full instructions as to how to unfold your plant. The leaves are dense & the bark, look so real. Very impressed and pleased with my plant.

I might not have bent it properly. It's a beautiful tree, especially for the price.

Love this plant it gives my lounge the finished look I’ve added some lovely stones to the planter to set it off

Good value. I placed it into a bigger pot.
