Product Description
Short answer: a faux Dracaena marginata in two heights, 130 cm and 150 cm (roughly 4.3 ft and 5 ft), in premium PE construction. The tree ships on its own, without a pot.
Dracaena marginata is the narrow-leaved, thin-cane form of dracaena, distinct from the broader corn-plant style sold elsewhere in our range. The two sizes suit different jobs: the taller 150 cm works as a statement piece for living rooms, corner decor, or behind a sofa, while the shorter 130 cm suits desks and entryways — though at 4.3 ft, it reads better as a floor piece near a desk than something that sits on top of one.
Construction is premium PE, with bendable branches for shaping.
The tree ships on its own; a pot is not included, so budget for a planter separately if you don't already have one.
What are the exact dimensions and materials?
| Heights available | 130 cm (4.3 ft) · 150 cm (5 ft) |
|---|---|
| Species | Dracaena marginata |
| Foliage material | Polyethylene (PE), premium grade |
| Trunk | Not specified |
| Pot | Not included |
| Leaf count | Not specified |
| UV rating | Not specified |
| Placement | Indoor — desks, entryways, living rooms, offices |
| Assembly | Bendable branches for shaping; no other assembly step named |
Which height should I buy?
| Height | Ceiling it suits | What it does in the room |
|---|---|---|
| 130 cm (4.3 ft) | Any | A desk-adjacent or entryway piece; suits the floor beside a desk better than the desktop itself |
| 150 cm (5 ft) | 8 ft | A statement piece for a living room corner or behind a sofa |
The step from 130 cm to 150 cm covers roughly 20 cm of extra height. Buy the taller one for the room it suits, not for an assumed difference in build quality between the two.
A tabletop-to-floor artificial dracaena, or a real one at either scale?
| This tree | Live Dracaena marginata | |
|---|---|---|
| Light required | None | Bright indirect light preferred; tolerates lower light better than most houseplants |
| Appearance over years | Fixed; cane never thins or leans | Lower leaves drop as the cane ages, eventually leaving a bare stalk below the crown |
| Cost, year five | Nothing further | Occasional repotting as the cane grows |
| What ships with it | Tree only | Plant plus whatever pot you choose at purchase |
| Desk-scale option | 130 cm; better suited to the floor beside a desk than on top of it | A young marginata in a small pot genuinely suits a desk |
The strongest honest argument for the artificial tree here is that a real cane goes leggy over years, dropping its lower leaves and leaving bare stem below a tuft of top growth — a normal but unglamorous part of how marginata ages. This tree's cane stays exactly as it shipped. The real plant still wins for the tabletop role — a small live marginata in a proper 4–6 inch pot fits a desk in a way this product's 130 cm size, at over four feet tall, does not.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
Bendable branches for shaping are the only assembly step named. Expect to spend time shaping the branches by hand after unboxing.
Inspect the trunk and the branch joints before you accept delivery, and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further.
Who should not buy this?
- Anyone who needs a pot in the box. This tree ships on its own — budget for a planter separately.
- Direct outdoor sun. Best suited to indoor use.
- A genuine desktop plant. At 4.3 ft, the 130 cm size is taller than most desks can accommodate without dwarfing everything on them — a small live marginata in a tabletop pot suits that job better.
Common questions
Does this dracaena come with a pot?
No — this tree ships on its own, without a pot. Budget for a planter separately if you don't already have one.
Is the 130 cm size really meant for a desk?
130 cm converts to roughly 4.3 ft, which is taller than almost any desk can hold without the canopy overwhelming whatever else sits on it. This size works better on the floor beside a desk than on top of it. For a genuine tabletop dracaena, look for something under 3 ft.
Can I shape the branches?
Yes — the branches are bendable, so you can shape the canopy after unboxing to suit your space. No other assembly step is needed beyond that.
Can I use the 150 cm size behind a sofa?
Yes — the 150 cm height is well suited as a statement piece for living rooms, corner decor, or behind a sofa, provided you have roughly 8 ft of ceiling clearance.
