Sicomoro White Silk Plant

Yes. While live Zamfolia plants are known to be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, this silk version provides a pet-safe way to enjoy the aesthetic of tropical greenery. It is an excellent choice for pet owners who want to decorate with plants but need to eliminate the risk of accidental poisoning or the mess of dug-up soil.

While silk plants are highly durable, prolonged exposure to direct, intense UV rays can cause pigments to fade over time. To ensure the deep green foliage remains vibrant, we recommend placing the plant in a spot with indirect light. If you prefer to style it near a sunny window, occasionally rotating the bowl will help ensure even wear and longevity of the color.

This item is designed for quick customer assembly. The process typically involves securing the wooden legs to the base of the white bowl. This tripod-style base is engineered to provide a stable, elevated foundation, ensuring the plant remains upright and secure on both hardwood floors and area rugs.

To achieve a natural look, this silk plant replicates the Zamfolia (ZZ plant) species, which is known in nature for its thick, waxy, and high-gloss leaves—a texture that silk mimics with exceptional accuracy. Unlike lower-quality plastic versions, this plant’s leaves feature subtle color variations. For the best result, we recommend "fluffing" or gently bending the wired stems outward after unboxing to create the slightly asymmetrical, organic shape found in living plants.

Maintaining the luster of your silk plant is simple and requires no water. Based on our care recommendations, you should dust the leaves regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to prevent buildup. For the white bowl and wooden legs, a lightly dampened cloth with mild soap can be used for spot cleaning. Avoiding harsh chemical cleaners is essential to preserving the integrity of the silk’s color and the finish of the wooden base.

This 38-inch tall plant is an ideal solution for urban apartments or windowless home offices where living greenery cannot survive. Its mid-sized vertical profile adds significant visual height and "life" to a corner without occupying a large footprint. Since it requires zero natural light or humidity, it maintains its vibrant green appearance in environments that would be too harsh for real tropical plants.
