Product Description
A faux dracaena tree, 5 ft tall, arriving pre-potted in a white tall planter with faux moss dressing the soil line. The stems are detailed wire, hand-assembled, with subtle colour variation worked across the leaves for a handcrafted botanical look, and each branch bends and holds its shape. Two decorative cards ship in the box as a finishing touch.
This tree is made for rooms nobody is watering: greenery without sunlight, for frequent travellers, busy professionals, and low-light corners where a live plant would slowly give up. Because the stems are wire throughout, the silhouette is yours to style — open it wide and airy or keep it tight and upright, and it stays where you put it.

Artificial dracaena for a traveller's home, or a real one?
| This tree | Live dracaena | |
|---|---|---|
| Care while you're away | None needed, ever | A real dracaena survives a week or two of neglect better than most houseplants, but not months |
| Light required | None | Tolerates low light, including air-conditioned offices, better than almost anything else sold |
| Cost, year one | Paid once, at purchase | Additional pot required |
| Cost, year five | Nothing further | Occasional repotting; otherwise minimal |
| What ships in the box | Tree, planter, faux moss, two decorative cards | Just the plant and whatever pot you choose |
A real dracaena is genuinely one of the most forgiving live plants you can buy — it tolerates a missed week better than nearly anything else. The case for this tree is measured in months rather than weeks: it needs nothing at all, indefinitely, which no live plant can offer.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
Assembly here is closer to styling than construction: gently shape the wire branches after unboxing, working from the topmost upright leaf outward, then arrange the faux moss over the soil line. There are no folded stems needing an extended opening period the way a full-canopy tree has, but budget some time regardless — every tree in our range looks flatter straight out of the box than in its photographs.
Inspect the planter on delivery before you unpack further, then enjoy the unboxing — the two decorative cards are a genuinely nice touch.
Who is this not for?
- Any outdoor or covered-outdoor placement. This is an indoor tree; for a balcony or patio, choose a UV-rated model instead.
- Someone who genuinely wants to care for a plant while travelling less. A real dracaena tolerates a missed week of watering better than almost any live plant sold in Canada. If the appeal is low maintenance rather than zero maintenance, the live plant is worth a look.
Common questions
How much shaping does this tree need?
A few minutes, done by hand. The wire stems are built to be bent and fluffed, so work from the topmost upright leaf outward, angling each stem slightly differently from its neighbour. The subtle colour variation across the leaves does a lot of the realism work for you — the shaping simply spreads it out where it can be seen.
What comes in the box besides the tree?
Three things beyond the plant itself: the white tall planter it arrives pre-potted in, a bag of faux moss to dress the soil line, and two decorative cards. Assembly beyond that is shaping the wire branches and arranging the moss by hand.
Is this a good choice for a hotel lobby or waiting room?
Yes — it is designed with exactly those spaces in mind: hotel lobbies, clinics, and reading nooks alongside the more usual living rooms, offices, and bedrooms. A reception area is the classic place where live plants fail quietly for lack of light and a consistent waterer, and this tree needs neither.
Can I leave this unattended for a few weeks while I travel?
Yes — that is precisely what it is for. It suits frequent travellers, busy professionals, and rooms with low light, because an artificial tree needs nothing at all while you are away. That is not a claim we would extend to most live plants, dracaena included, past a couple of weeks.
Does the planter look finished on top?
Yes — the included faux moss sits over the soil line the way fresh potting dressing would, so the planter reads as genuinely planted rather than as a stand. Arrange it loosely around the trunk after shaping the branches and the base looks cared-for from every angle.
