Product Description
A faux Ficus lyrata in a black planter with a weighted base, available in three heights from 4 ft to 6 ft. The fiddle leaf fig's large, individually shaped leaves are the reason the species reads as convincing at scale, and this tree leans into that with realistic veining across a broad three-height run — 4 ft, 5 ft and 6 ft — so you can match the tree to a corner, an entryway or a full living-room floor spot without changing products.
The weighted base is the feature that matters most day to day, and it is the same across all three sizes. It is designed for stability and safety, which counts for more on a 6 ft tree than most buyers assume — an unstable, top-heavy floor tree is one of the most common frustrations in this category, and a weighted base is the right answer to it.

Which height should I buy for my room?
| Height | Ceiling it suits | What it does in the room |
|---|---|---|
| 4 ft | Any | Corner filler beside furniture. Not a focal point. |
| 5 ft | 8 ft | The safe choice for a standard living room. |
| 6 ft | 8–9 ft | The tallest option in this product; reads as a full-size tree without needing a double-height space. |
This product tops out at 6 ft. If you need 7 ft or taller, several other fiddle leaf figs in our range run to 8 ft.
Artificial fiddle leaf fig, or a real one, for stability in a busy room?
| This tree | Live Ficus lyrata | |
|---|---|---|
| Light required | None | Bright indirect light, six hours or more |
| Base stability | Weighted base | A soil-filled pot; top-heavy and easier to tip, especially after repotting |
| Cost, year five | Nothing further | Frequently replaced once or twice |
| Maintenance | A damp cloth every two months | Watering, feeding, repotting, pest control, rotation |
A weighted base is a genuine practical advantage of the artificial version in a home with kids, dogs or a narrow hallway — a live fig in a lightweight nursery pot tips far more easily than either option suggests on paper.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
Every tree on this site ships compressed. The branches are folded in against the trunk so the box survives transit, and it will come out of that box looking flatter and thinner than the photographs. Work from the lowest branches upward, pull each stem away from its neighbour, and give the leaves individual angles rather than a uniform fan; on the 6 ft version, budget around twenty to thirty minutes.
A weighted base adds shipping weight, so inspect the pot and the base seam when your delivery arrives, and photograph any transit damage before you unpack further so we can put it right quickly.
Who should not buy this?
- Anyone shopping for an outdoor spot. This is an indoor tree; for a spot with direct sun, choose a UV-rated model from our range instead.
- Anyone who wants a tree taller than 6 ft. This product stops at 6 ft; several other fiddle leaf figs in our range run to 7 ft or 8 ft.
Common questions
How stable is the weighted base?
The base is weighted for stability and safety across all three heights — a filled base is the right construction for a floor tree this tall, and it is the reason this tree stays planted where a live fig in a light nursery pot would wobble.
What height should I buy for a standard living room?
The 5 ft version is the default choice for an 8 ft ceiling; leave roughly two feet of clearance above the canopy. The 4 ft works as a corner filler beside furniture rather than a focal point, and the 6 ft is the largest option this product offers, suited to a room with a little more height or floor space to spare.
Does the style suit a farmhouse or minimalist room?
Yes — this tree blends with modern, farmhouse and minimalist decor styles, and a plain black planter with a weighted base is a genuinely neutral choice that does not fight with a particular design language the way a patterned or coloured pot would. The tree does the styling work; the pot stays out of the way.
Do I need to worry about it tipping over?
Less than with an equivalent live plant in a standard nursery pot. The weighted base is designed specifically for stability, which is a meaningful difference from a live fig repotted into a lightweight plastic or ceramic container that can tip when the canopy is full and top-heavy.
How do I clean it?
A wipe with a damp cloth every couple of months is all it takes. Work leaf by leaf with a microfibre cloth, and avoid silicone-based sprays, which leave a glossy film that makes artificial foliage look less real.
