Matney Black Magnolia Silk Plant

To achieve a lifelike aesthetic, this decorative plant is crafted with high-quality silk magnolia stems and authentic birch tops set within a contemporary black planter. High-end silk plants are designed to mimic the subtle color variations and organic textures found in nature. By incorporating varied materials like real birch, this piece avoids the uniform, "plastic" look of lower-quality alternatives, providing a convincing and sophisticated greenery solution for your home.

Measuring 19 inches in height and 24 inches in width, this plant is perfectly scaled for urban apartment living or smaller workspaces. Its compact vertical profile makes it an ideal centerpiece for coffee tables, entryway consoles, or bookshelves where you want the visual impact of greenery without the height that might interfere with sightlines or overhead shelving.

Choosing a silk alternative is a practical way to enjoy the look of a Magnolia without the toxicity risks associated with the real species. This plant is a pet-safe decor option; however, due to the inclusion of natural birch tops and a weighted planter, we suggest placing it on a stable surface where curious pets are less likely to knock it over or attempt to chew the decorative stems.

This item requires customer assembly and will benefit from "fluffing" once it arrives. Because the stems are designed for durability, you can gently bend and shape the magnolia leaves to create a fuller, more asymmetrical silhouette that mimics natural growth. For a curated, professional look, our stylists recommend grouping the planter with other decorative accents of varying heights, such as a stack of art books or a small ceramic tray.

Based on our expertise in home decor maintenance, we recommend dusting the leaves regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent buildup. For a deeper refresh, you can gently wipe the silk surfaces and the planter with a cloth dampened with a mixture of mild soap and water. Always avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can compromise the integrity of the silk fabric and the natural finish of the birch stems.

While silk plants are a great solution for low-light rooms where real plants cannot thrive, we recommend avoiding prolonged, direct sun exposure. Like any high-quality textile, constant UV light can cause the rich colors of the magnolia leaves to fade over time. To preserve the vibrancy of the foliage, place the planter in a well-lit room but out of the direct path of harsh afternoon sunlight.
