Product Description
Short answer: a pair of faux bamboo trees, three PE trunks on each, in a cement-filled pot. Built from cement, polyethylene and polypropylene, with fade-resistant, tear-resistant leaves and a total weight of 22 lb for the set.
Sold as a matched pair rather than a single tree, this set gives you two bamboo clusters — three trunks each — letting you flank a doorway or a fireplace symmetrically.
The cement fill keeps the pot's base stable, even around children or pets, and the leaves are fade-resistant and tear-resistant. At 22 lb total, the set has real substance.

Artificial bamboo trees, or a real one?
| This set | Live bamboo | |
|---|---|---|
| What it actually is | Two 3-trunk faux bamboo clusters | Often confused with lucky bamboo, a dracaena, not true bamboo |
| Indoor air | No effect from dry winter heating | True bamboo sheds leaves steadily indoors in dry heat |
| Cost, year five | Nothing further | Containment and division, given how invasive true bamboo spreads |
| Where it genuinely wins | N/A | New canes emerging each season, which no faux set replicates |
The strongest case for real bamboo is watching it spread — which, outdoors in the wrong spot, is also exactly why it is treated as invasive. Indoors, in a Canadian home, that vigour mostly shows up as leaf drop instead.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
This is a set of two, so budget floor space and, if you are flanking a doorway or fireplace, roughly matching sightlines for both.
Inspect the pot and the trunk before you accept delivery, and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further. With two trees in one shipment, check both bases independently.
Who should not buy this?
- Uncovered outdoor sun over multiple seasons. Choose a covered spot for outdoor placement.
- Anyone who wants true bamboo's growth habit. Two fixed sets of three trunks each, permanently — nothing here will put out a new cane.
- Buyers who only want a single tree. This product is sold only as a pair; a different single-tree bamboo listing in our range suits that need better.
Common questions
Is this really the same as lucky bamboo?
No. Lucky bamboo, the twisted-stalk plant sold in a vase of water, is a dracaena rather than a true bamboo species. True bamboo is a vigorous, spreading grass that's invasive if planted outdoors and a poor houseplant besides, since it drops leaves steadily in the dry air a heated Canadian home produces each winter. This set of two faux trees, three PE trunks each, gives you the visual silhouette without asking either species to actually grow in your home.
What is the pot made of, and is it stable?
The pot is cement-filled, which is a genuinely heavy, low-centre-of-gravity solution that stays upright and undisturbed by children or pets. The 22 lb total weight for the set reflects a substantial cement fill, not a token gesture.
Can I put these outside?
The leaves are fade-resistant and tear-resistant, which suits a covered outdoor spot well. For sustained, direct sun over a full Canadian summer, expect some colour change over time.
Do I have to buy two, or can I get just one?
This product is sold specifically as a set of two trees; there's no single-tree option within this product. If you want a single bamboo tree rather than a matched pair, our other bamboo products are sold individually. Think of this specifically as a flanking pair — either side of a doorway, a fireplace, or a wide console table.
