Artificial Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree — 60 to 84 in, Gray Sphere Planter with Moss

A faux Ficus lyrata in a light gray sphere planter finished with moss and black pebbles, three heights, from 60 in to 84 in. Flexible metal wire runs inside each leaf, not just the branches, so individual leaves can be bent and reshaped.

This is the only fiddle leaf fig in our current range set in a round planter rather than a square or cylindrical one, and the sphere shape reads as more sculptural than most of the plain black or white pots this species usually ships in — a deliberate styling choice for a room that is already fairly considered.

The wiring is a step beyond the usual wired-branch construction most fiddle leaf figs use: with flexible metal wire inside each individual leaf, you can angle single leaves rather than only the branch they sit on. That is the detail that stops a canopy looking like it was moulded in one uniform sweep.

What are the exact dimensions and materials?

Heights available	60 in · 72 in · 84 in (five, six and seven feet)
Foliage material	Broad leaves with natural veining and a flexible metal wire core
Trunk	Realistic trunks

Which height fits my room?

Height	Ceiling it suits	What it does in the room
60 in (five feet)	8 ft	The safe choice for a standard living room.
72 in (six feet)	8–9 ft	Reads as a mature tree without crowding an average ceiling.
84 in (seven feet)	9 ft and over	Statement scale; the sphere planter's visual weight matters more at this height.

Only the height changes across the three sizes.

If the sphere planter is the part you actually want and the tree inside it is secondary, a live plant in a matching real sphere pot is a legitimate alternative — concrete and clay planters are widely sold on their own, and you would only be committing to the tree, not the pot.

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

Every tree on this site ships compressed, and the branches will arrive folded in against the trunk. Because the leaf-level wire on this tree is finer than a branch-level armature, take extra care when opening the canopy out — work the wire at the base of each leaf rather than bending the leaf blade itself, or the moulded veining can crease.

A concrete or clay sphere planter is heavier and more breakable than a plastic one, so inspect it specifically for hairline cracks when your delivery arrives, and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further.

Who should not buy this?

• Anyone with direct outdoor sun in mind. This tree is best suited to indoor use; for sunny outdoor spots, choose a UV-rated model instead.
• Hard flooring where a dropped pot matters. A concrete or clay-blend sphere planter is more breakable than a plastic pot if it is ever knocked over.
• Buyers who want a matching set of planters. The sphere shape is distinctive to this tree; it will not match a square or cylindrical planter used elsewhere in the room.

Common questions

What makes the sphere planter different from a normal pot?

Most artificial trees in this category ship in a square, cylindrical or urn-shaped pot. This one uses a round sphere planter, offered in a concrete or clay blend, topped with moss and black pebbles rather than bare soil-effect filler. It is a more deliberate styling choice and, being concrete or clay rather than plastic, it also weighs more, which helps with stability but makes it more breakable if dropped.

Can I actually bend individual leaves on this tree?

Yes — flexible metal wire runs inside each leaf, not only inside the branches, which is a step beyond how most fiddle leaf figs are built. In practice that means you can angle single leaves away from their neighbours rather than every leaf on a branch pointing the same direction, which is one of the details that makes a canopy read as full rather than moulded.

What height suits an 8 foot ceiling?

The 60 in (five foot) or 72 in (six foot) version. Leave roughly two feet of clearance between the canopy and the ceiling — a tree that touches the ceiling reads as too big for the room rather than impressive. The 84 in version wants a 9 ft ceiling or more, and the sphere planter's visual weight becomes more noticeable at that scale.

Is the planter stable on its own?

A solid concrete or clay-blend sphere carries real weight, which helps the tree stand steady in everyday use. For a high-traffic corridor or a home with boisterous pets, position it out of the main line of movement, as you would any planter of this kind.
