Artificial Ficus Pandurata Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

Ficus pandurata is the botanical name for the fiddle leaf fig, and this is the faux version in moulded plastic with veined, layered leaves, at 6.6 ft (2.0 m) or 7.5 ft (2.3 m). Both sizes are floor trees for living rooms, entryways, offices and event backdrops.

How tall is it, really?

Two heights: 6.6 ft (2.0 m) and 7.5 ft (2.3 m). The 2.0 m fits under a standard residential ceiling with headroom to spare; the 2.3 m wants a 2.7 m ceiling or better before the top leaves stop looking crowded.

Will it look real up close?

The veining is moulded rather than printed, so the leaf surface holds up at a metre. What gives it away is uniformity - real fiddle leaf figs carry blemished, unevenly sized leaves, and a faux canopy is consistently too healthy.

Is it safe around children and pets?

Worth noting that live Ficus lyrata sap is an irritant to cats and dogs, and this version has none of it. There is nothing to chew that carries a toxin, no soil to dig out and no water tray - which is exactly why the faux version sells into homes with animals.
