Review on Transform Your Home With VIAGDO'S Stunning 6Ft Tall Artificial Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree - Perfect For Any Living Space! by Mariealphonse Seattle

Much Nicer Than Expected

In originally looking at the images I was concerned about the tree looking a bit too plastic, especially given the size of the leaves. While the underside of the leaves does exhibit a plastic look, manipulating the branches and leaves and placing the tree in the right location can minimize or even eliminate that look, with the natural coloration of the top of the leaves and the venation showing nicely, especially with a bit of backlighting. Here is what I did to make this look as good as possible.1. Used a decorative pot that is the appropriate size for a live tree of this size.2. Placed an upside-down pot inside the decorative pot and under the plant base to raise the height a bit more (total height now about 6'-9")3. Filled in the decorative pot around the riser and base with Styrofoam peanuts that were in a package that had been delivered the previous week.4. Packed additional paper filler from other packages up to within 3" of the top of the decorative pot.5. Loosened a bag of Spanish Moss around the plant and tucked it into the edges of the filler below.6. Spent about 45-50 minutes spreading the branches and twisting leaves to make the tree look as natural as possible. Additional tweaking will be done.7. Placed the tree where, during the day, sunlight is behind the tree to show off the translucence of the foliage.We are very happy with the look of this tree, and it fits in nicely with all the live tropical plants that we have here in our Midwest home. Without very very close inspection, the tree looks about as natural as I could have hoped for.

I’ve spent the past year searching for a real fiddle fig leaf tree, but couldn’t find one I loved. All the faux trees were a bit too expensive and didn’t even look real. I finally saw this one on a blog I follow and absolutely love it! The price is a steal! Don’t hesitate to buy this tree!
