Nearly Natural 4ft. Corn Stalk Dracaena Silk Plant (Real Touch)

I have to echo pretty much everyone else's review of these plants--they are really impressive. I purchased two, and once they are opened up and shaped properly they are hard to tell from the real plant. I happened to have a live one of about the same size that I used as a model to shape the leaves on these, and I have to say that even the trunks or stalks are very close to real in both color and texture. The leaves vary in color and length just as would be expected on a live plant, although they're a tad shinier, but not enough to detract. There are three 'stalks', and each of these have three 'shoots' coming off the top with around ten leaves each. It takes a while to get them shaped realistically as that makes roughly ninety leaves to fold down and curl, but the results are worth it. See my photo of both plants--one as it arrived straight out of the box, and another opened up and placed in a decorative pot. They are great, can't be killed, and make a wonderful addition to any decor.

So far I’m loving this addition to my living room! Great for the price - not the very best but definitely convincing and pretty. I wish I could have real plants but I am just incapable of keeping them alive. The pot is ridiculously small and was chipped when I received it, but I was expecting to replace it so I am not reviewing based on that. It is weighted enough to support the plant but visually disproportionate. Plan to use a bigger pot or basket. A few leaves do come off when you shape them but they are easy to put back on. This is part of what makes them easy to move around and adjust to your liking. It took me only 5 minutes to shape the leaves. Pulling from the tips downward and gently shaping with a hand underneath worked best for me.

Like others have stated, this is a very natural and realistic looking artificial plant. Once you spend the requisite time futzing with the leaves (i.e., opening them, bending them, arranging them, etc.), it really does look as real as a fake plant can look. I only gave it four stars because, like others have stated, some of the leaves simply break off the stem (despite being very careful and gentle when arranging them. Sadly, there is no way easy way to re-attach them...I simply stuck them into a stem and am hoping for the best, since I don't plan on moving the pot around. Again, like others, I put the whole thing into a bigger pot (and...yes, the pot it came in was cracked!), which I first fitted with styrofoam blocks to give it more height). Then, I topped it all off with some Spanish moss and it does look very nice, albeit a bit "skinny" for me to be TOTALLY crazy about it. The problem is that I have a REAL plant too, so it's difficult to avoid NOT making a comparison. The real one is dying and this one will be taking its place...who has the time and energy and money to keep working at this? This was a good deal and very nice for the money...much better and more reasonable than what I've seen in retail stores.

This plant looks so real. Very good quality. Just needs some fluffing once you take it out of the box.

PROS: Gorgeous silk plant! It's fairly lush, the leaves are vivid and the entire piece is very natural-looking. I have a very busy life and I've wasted so much money on real plants that would die 6-months later. Unfortunately, my green thumb is grey. It's so much easier and convenient to not have to worry about over-watering, under-watering, root rot, gnats that are attracted to indoor plants, changing soil, fertilizer and not being able to travel for extended periods. This silk plant will give me all the beauty and warm-up my living room, without all the hassle. The price was also very reasonable and it shipped in two days. CONS: It comes in a very small, basic clay pot. I had a large mosaic flower pot at home already and here's what I did to give the plant more height and more drama: I took my large mosaic flower pot and put about a 6-inch tall piece of Styrofoam inside. I then propped the plant up on the Styrofoam (FYI: You do not need to remove it from the clay pot it arrives in) and used additional pieces of Styrofoam to fill in the empty spaces. I then used a bag of plant moss I had from a craft store to cover up the Styrofoam. This gave the plant an additional 6-inches in height and it looked gorgeous in my large mosaic pot! You'd never be able to tell that the plant is much shorter and there's a clay pot sitting on Styrofoam inside. OVERALL: Very satisfied.

Pot is cracked and several of the leaves fell off when trying to arrange them. Not very impressed

My friend, a plant wholesaler who cites Latin species as easily as common names, tells me "oh, you bought a dracaena!" "Yes! Will it grow well in this spot?" / "No," he replied, "I'd give it more light." Then I explained it's fake - and he quickly strode over to examine it (realizing he'd just been "played"). I ordered this piece to fill a corner in my porch, but it's way too nice for that. It now graces the front parlor. When unwrapping it I kept saying "wow" because the stalks and foliage look so realistic. It took some time to unfold and shape the leaves like a real dracaena from photos (like "building from a kit," I thought - though with less effort). Nicely varied leaf sizes, thickness, textures. Convincing in full sunlight streaming in from a window - and at night, illuminated with a couple of up-facing lights. It arrived with a trivial crack in the shipping pot but stayed intact. It needs a larger pot for visual proportion and stability, anyway. Artificial dracaenas of this size are sold for $100 at a nearby crafts store (whose name rhymes with "knobby knobby") but I prefer this item - and the price is nicer. My favorite fake. Hope this review helps you.

Honestly totally worth it for the money! Yes alil pricey but the plant is absolutely gorgeous..looks so real and great quality! I would recommend to everyone! It's fake so it's forever ...get it guys you won't regret it!

Llegó a tiempo, el empaque es un poco reducido para su altura, porque llegaron algunas hojas maltratadas. La maceta es muy pequeña para la planta, es necesario ponerle otra para que se vea mejor y más proporcionada. Sin embargo, es bueno tener presente que es una planta de ornato. Una vez fuera del empaque y acomodadas sus hojas se ve ¡¡hermosa!!

De muy buena calidad y tamaño. La coloqué en una esquina de la sala y luce muy linda. Superó por mucho mis expectativas.

Very good color and length as mentioned in the description.

La mandan en un embalaje que la aplasta toda y hay que acomodarle las hojas una por una pero viene bien protegido. Llego en una caja de cartón con mucho plástico, la planta se ve muy muy Bonita pero la.maceta no le hace justicia, poniéndola en una maceta más decente da la impresión de que es natural y además decora hermoso la casa, muy buen producto.
