Cement, iron and polyethylene construction, with foliage rated for UV exposure — something almost none of our dracaena trees can claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dracaena that can actually take real sun is unusual, and this is the tree in our catalogue that backs the claim with an actual rating rather than a hopeful adjective. It is UV Resistant and Weather Resistant, as well as Dust Resistant, built to maintain vibrant colour indoors and as part of outdoor decor on porches and patios. That is a materially different proposition from a tree that simply says “indoor\/outdoor” with nothing behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterially, three components do the work: PE for the foliage, iron for the branch wiring — longer wires that allow natural shaping — and cement for the planter base that anchors 4.5 lb of river rock on top. Assembly parts come pre-labelled, a small but real convenience on a tree with an overall packed weight of 21.8 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the exact dimensions and materials?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 feet (single size)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43.3 × 39.4 × 72 (depth × width × height)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.8 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyethylene (PE)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTrunk \/ frame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIron wiring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePot\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite tapered planter on a cement base, with 4.5 lb of natural river rock included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCultivar\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified — multiple leaf sizes and adjustable leaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUV rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV Resistant\u003c\/strong\u003e, alongside Weather Resistant and Dust Resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlacement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor and outdoor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAssembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-labelled parts; branch wires allow hand-shaping\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA UV-rated artificial dracaena, or a real one on a patio?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThis tree\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLive dracaena\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect sun tolerance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUV-resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMost dracaena species prefer bright indirect light, not full sun; leaf scorch is common outdoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight indoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTolerates low light better than most houseplants\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight to move\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.8 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVaries; a live specimen this size is comparable once potted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTipping risk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCement base plus 4.5 lb of river rock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepends entirely on the pot you buy separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCane appearance over time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed; smooth and uniform\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVisible leaf scars and irregular diameter as the plant matures\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV rating narrows the usual gap between this tree and a real one, but it does not close it: a live dracaena left in direct outdoor sun is also at genuine risk of leaf scorch, so neither option is a good match for a south-facing deck at midday.

It is UV Resistant and Weather Resistant, built to maintain vibrant colour as part of outdoor decor on porches and patios. For the harshest possible exposure — a south-facing deck at midday through a full summer — give it a sheltered spot where you can; that advice holds for artificial and live plants alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow heavy is this dracaena, and can I move it myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe item weight is 21.8 lb, which includes the cement-based planter and 4.5 lb of river rock packed into it for stability. That is manageable for one person over a short distance but awkward over stairs or a long hallway, especially given the tapered shape of the planter. Budget for two people if you are carrying it up more than a flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the tapered planter and river rock actually do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white tapered planter sits on a cement base, and 4.5 lb of natural river rock is packed into it specifically to keep the tree from tipping. That combination of a weighted base material and loose rock on top is a more deliberate stability design than a simple plastic pot — worth having anywhere the tree will stand near a doorway, a patio table or foot traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I reshape the branches after assembly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each stem carries built-in wire, and the longer wires are designed for natural shaping by hand. Combined with the multiple leaf sizes and adjustable leaves, that lets you build a fuller, more irregular canopy than a fixed-branch tree allows — and revisit the shape whenever the room changes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eververda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48234479583468,"sku":"EV-DRC-0590","price":489.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/5263\/9980\/files\/hf_20260830_233933_75dd5590-6951-44b5-bbbd-bec44ab31e13.png?v=1788133883","url":"https:\/\/checkout.eververda.com\/products\/artificial-dracaena-tree-6-ft-uv-resistant-tapered-planter","provider":"Eververda","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
