Artificial Bird of Paradise Plant — 6 ft, 18 Leaves, Silk in Basket

A 6 ft faux bird of paradise with 18 leaves, premium silk foliage, metal-wired stems, and a basket rather than a pot, one size only. The published leaf count is unusual in this category and genuinely useful for judging fullness.

Eighteen leaves is the number that separates this plant from most bird of paradise products, where fullness is usually a photograph you have to trust rather than a figure you can check. Broad, paddle-shaped leaves like this species carries mean 18 is genuinely informative — each individual leaf is a meaningful fraction of the plant's visual mass.

The stems are reinforced with sturdy metal wire inside, letting you reshape the leaves without breakage — the same construction principle that separates a good artificial ficus from a cheap one. It ships in a basket rather than a rigid planter, which reads more casual and less formal than a white or black pot.

What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?

It ships pre-assembled and compressed; arrange the leaves by hand to your preference once unboxed. Budget real time for this on a broad-leaf species — each of the 18 leaves benefits from an individual angle rather than a uniform fan.

Two-person handling is worth considering at 6 ft with a full basket base, particularly getting it out of the shipping box without bending a wired stem against the packaging.

Inspect the basket and the stems before you accept delivery, and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further.

Who should choose a different plant?

• For direct, unshaded outdoor sun, ask us about a UV-rated option.
• If a rigid, weighted pot matters more than the basket look, check our other bird of paradise plants that use a stated pot.
• Measure your intended spot generously, since the basket's dimensions aren't specified.

Common questions

How many leaves does this artificial bird of paradise have?

18 leaves, naturally arranged across the plant — a genuinely useful figure in this category, where most products simply say "lush" or "full" with nothing to check it against.

Does it come in a proper pot?

It ships in a basket rather than a rigid weighted planter, part of the look rather than a shortcut. If a specific pot look matters to you, our other bird of paradise products ship in white or black planters instead.

Will the leaves split like a real plant's do?

No. This is pre-shaped silk, so the leaves hold the moulded edge they arrived with.

Can the leaves be reshaped if I don't like the arrangement?

Yes — the stems are reinforced with metal wire specifically so you can bend them into your preferred shape without breaking or detaching. Shape it once, deliberately, rather than adjusting it every few weeks, since repeated re-bending is what eventually weakens any wired construction.

How do I clean an artificial bird of paradise plant?

A damp cloth wipe once dust settles on the leaves is the standard care instruction across nearly every silk-leaf plant in our range. Broad leaves like this species carries collect visible dust faster than fine foliage, so expect to wipe it down somewhat more often than a fine-leaved fern or palm.
