Darland Green Silk Plant

This item is delivered with the plant set in its terracotta base, but it does require minimal "assembly" in the form of shaping. Because the plant is packaged for safe transit, the branches may be compressed. Our design experts recommend spending a few minutes bending and adjusting the branches to your preferred width to achieve the full, custom look described in our desert-themed collection.

This plant is specifically designed to replicate the Arizonian landscape, featuring high-quality silk leaves with a lifelike texture and natural arch. To maximize realism, we recommend "fluffing" the plant after unboxing. Since the branches are crafted to be bendable, you can shape them into a unique, irregular silhouette that mimics organic growth. The patterned terracotta planter further establishes an authentic, earthy foundation that fits seamlessly into contemporary or southwestern decor.

Based on our care standards for decorative accents, we recommend dusting the leaves once a month with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to maintain their vibrant appearance. For a deeper refresh, you may use a lightly dampened cloth to wipe down the spiky leaves. Unlike real desert plants, this silk version requires no watering or specialized fertilizers, making it a truly low-maintenance investment.

Standing at exactly five feet tall, this plant is an ideal floor accent for rooms with standard 8-foot or 9-foot ceilings. Its height provides a significant vertical presence that draws the eye upward without overwhelming the space. With a slim 10-inch width and depth, it is particularly well-suited for adding greenery to narrow corners, entryways, or smaller urban apartments where floor space is at a premium.

Yes, this silk plant is a pet-friendly alternative to real desert vegetation. While many live succulents and cacti can be toxic to cats and dogs or have sharp, dangerous spines, this silk plant provides the same striking southwestern aesthetic in a non-toxic, soft-touch material. It allows pet owners to enjoy high-end greenery without the safety concerns associated with live desert flora.

Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of a high-quality silk plant is its ability to "thrive" in environments where real greenery cannot. Because it requires zero natural sunlight or UV exposure to maintain its deep green color, it is a perfect solution for low-light rooms, offices, or basements, providing a refreshing taste of the wild without the risk of wilting.
