Its leaves also shred naturally along the ribs as the plant grows — normal in a tropical garden, but it reads as torn and damaged in a living room. Most live banana plants do not survive a second Canadian winter indoors, which is the case for buying a faux one at this scale instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size should I buy, 5 ft or 6 ft?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5 ft works under an 8 ft ceiling as a strong corner piece; the 6 ft wants roughly 9 ft of ceiling to leave air above the canopy. The decision comes down mainly to ceiling clearance and how much presence you want the piece to have in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need watering or sunlight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — it is fully artificial PE foliage on a wired frame, and needs neither watering nor sunlight, which is the entire trade-off against a live banana plant that needs very high light and humidity to survive. The leaves are UV-resistant, which is the basis for our covered-outdoor placement, though no numeric rating is published to confirm how long that resistance holds up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eververda","offers":[{"title":"6FT","offer_id":48234553540844,"sku":"EV-BAN-0620-6FT","price":419.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5FT","offer_id":48234553573612,"sku":"EV-BAN-0620-5FT","price":279.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/5263\/9980\/files\/hf_20260830_231334_043bad51-a889-4173-abef-029701028344.png?v=1788133872","url":"https:\/\/checkout.eververda.com\/products\/artificial-banana-tree-5-6-ft-wire-branches-grey-planter","provider":"Eververda","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
