Colusay Green Silk Plant

Standing at 79 inches tall, this plant is designed to provide significant vertical interest and fill large floor spaces that feel empty. In a traditional living room or home office, it works best when placed in a corner to soften architectural lines or when flanking a large piece of furniture like a bookshelf or credenza. While it features a modern black pot, you can easily place it inside a decorative ceramic planter or a heavy stone urn to better coordinate with your specific traditional decor.

This silk plant utilizes advanced real touch technology, which involves a specialized coating applied to the leaves to mimic the supple texture and moisture content of live foliage. Unlike traditional plastic plants that often have a shiny, rigid appearance, real touch materials provide a realistic matte finish and a lifelike feel that stands up to close inspection. This makes it an ideal high-end focal point for professional offices or high-traffic areas in your home.

Because it is shipped in a specialized container to protect the foliage, you should "fluff" or shape the leaves once the item is in place. Based on our expertise with high-quality greenery, we recommend starting from the bottom and gently pulling the wired branches outward to mirror the way a real plant naturally grows toward the light. The dual trunk design of this 6.5-foot silk plant provides a sturdy, realistic base that allows you to customize the spread of its leaves for a lush, organic look.

One of the primary advantages of this silk plant is its resilience to varying indoor environments across different regions. Unlike live trees that may struggle with the heavy air conditioning of a humid coastal home or the dry, forced-air heat of a desert climate, this artificial plant maintains its vibrant green appearance year-round without wilting. While designed strictly for indoor use, it provides a consistent, maintenance-free aesthetic regardless of your local outdoor weather conditions.

To preserve the vibrant color and lifelike texture, we recommend dusting the leaves regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a microfiber duster. For a deeper refresh, our care guidelines suggest using a cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water to address any buildup. It is important to avoid harsh chemical cleaners or aerosol foliage shines, as these can degrade the specialized real touch coating over time.

Yes, this silk plant is an excellent hypoallergenic and non-toxic alternative for pet owners and parents. Many popular live indoor plants, such as certain varieties of lilies or figs, can be toxic if ingested; this faux version offers the same lush look without the safety risks. Additionally, because it requires no soil, it won't attract common household pests or create a mess for curious pets to dig into, keeping your indoor environment cleaner and safer.
