This Fiddle Fig Leaf Tree Looks So Real That You’d Never Know It Was Fake — and It’s 50% Off
Let’s all take a minute to appreciate plants. They’re versatile, beautiful, and literally keep us alive, not to mention they’re one of the few home accessories that never go out of fashion and fit in with every decor style. But if you don’t have a green thumb, you know the sense of struggle and disappointment that comes with trying (and failing) to keep a finicky flower alive. Believe me, I’ve unintentionally killed a sapling or two, and for a long time I thought having an even mildly botanical home aesthetic was out of the cards for me. Fortunately, fake plants exist, and they come in many varieties, much like their living counterparts. You have to really look for ones that actually look realistic, as there are a lot of artificial shrubs and blossoms on store shelves that look obviously fake. We recently found one, however, that’s anything but.
The 6′ faux fiddle leaf tree by Valerie, available now on QVC’s website, will instantly bring some color, texture, and interest to your space. Best of all, it’ll live forever! Despite not being alive, this faux accessory looks eerily real with its wide leaves, textured trunk, and accurate proportions. Customers love it not only for its stylish appearance, but also for its low price. “I have been wanting a fiddle leaf tree for some time,” a reviewer shared. “I ordered this as soon as I saw the amazing price. It’s wonderful quality, and I have seen these in other stores for over $100 and of much lower quality. This is an amazing bargain and a gorgeous tree.” As if this item wasn’t already well-priced to begin with, it’s currently on sale for just $60! A bargain, indeed.
You can rest assured that you’ll get your money’s worth with this find because, for one, it’s six feet tall. Additionally, you can place it in any pot, vase, or basket of your choosing and position it virtually anywhere. Next to the sofa or in a corner seem to be particularly good spots. Regardless of where the tree goes, there’s no way anyone could possibly overlook it. Plus, getting it situated takes no where near the amount of effort a real tree requires. “You simply pull it out and fluff out the leaves to your liking,” one buyer wrote. “Once you do that, it looks quite full and just like a healthy tree.” As far as upkeep goes, you’ll probably just want to dust the leaves every once in a while. But at least maintenance won’t be a life-or-death situation for your new horticultural home accessory.
