Poust Copper Silk Plant

To achieve a lifelike appearance, we recommend "fluffing" the foliage after unboxing. This silk mother-in-law's tongue is designed with wired components that allow you to gently bend and shape the leaves to mimic natural growth patterns. Placing the plant in a high-quality aged copper planter, as provided with this item, adds a level of sophisticated weight and texture that distinguishes premium silk greenery from standard plastic alternatives.

Based on our expertise in home accents, regular maintenance is key to preserving the plant's vibrant look. We recommend dusting the leaves once a month with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a feather duster. For deeper cleaning, a lightly dampened cloth can be used to wipe away grime, but avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can damage the delicate silk fibers and the finish of the copper planter.

This item does require some customer assembly. Typically, this involve securing the plant into its aged copper base and shaping the leaves. Taking the time to properly arrange and "style" the stems ensures the plant reaches its full 42-inch height and looks intentional within your space.

Yes, silk plants are an excellent, non-toxic alternative for pet owners. While a live mother-in-law's tongue (snake plant) can be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, this silk version allows you to enjoy the botanical aesthetic without the safety risk. It provides the lush look of greenery while remaining durable enough to withstand curious pets.

Absolutely. With a footprint of just 16 inches, this 42-inch tall silk plant is a strategic choice for urban apartment living or windowless offices where live plants cannot thrive. It adds a vertical design element that draws the eye upward, making smaller rooms feel taller and more vibrant without the need for natural light or specialized irrigation.

While this silk plant is highly durable and won't wilt like a live plant, prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight can cause the colors to fade over time. To maintain the rich green hues of the leaves and the warm tones of the copper planter, we recommend placing it in a well-lit room but away from the direct path of harsh UV rays, such as in a corner or a transitional hallway.
