FOPAMTRIArtificial Areca Palm Plant 5 Feet Fake Palm Tree with 17 Trunks Faux Tree for Indoor Outdoor Modern Decoration Feaux Dypsis Lutescens Plants in Pot for Home Office Perfect Housewarming Gift

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."

Love these artificial palms. They work so well on our lanai year around. Our first set lasted 5 years in Florida sun and humidity.My only issue was that the box was carved in half all the way around when delivered and part of a palm was sticking out. What happened between the warehouse and our home? We are going to live with what was delivered because the box to return was so damaged.

I just got the palm today. OMG. It was heavy, sturdy, very beautiful. I refuse to water any more plants in my life. I am done!!!!. I only want to take care of myself. This palm is perfect for my new life style. One will go by my front door, outside but not much sun. The second one, will go in my backyard, full sun, lets see how that one holds up. I will let you all know in 5 months.

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.

Beautiful. They look so real. I love how they look in my backyard.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

They look great! Added them by our pool.

The pot on the bottom is decently weighted. The problem is the proportions. The pot needs to be about 4-5” higher to prevent it from falling over. It’s top heavy and the slightest breeze knocks it over, even in this deep planter (shelf in planter sits about 8” from the top edge)
