Fake Fiddle Leaf Fig Trees
Ultra Realistic Artificial Plants
Designer Plants Five Key Technologies
Five fiddle leaf figs from 70cm to 170cm, with RealTex vein and edge detail through the violin-shaped blades. The 150cm UV-resistant tree carries UVTex inhibitors bonded within the leaf for covered outdoor positions.
Choosing an Artificial Fiddle Leaf Fig for a Corner or a Void
Ficus lyrata takes its name from the leaf, a large violin-shaped blade with deep sunken veins and a wavy edge, held almost horizontally off a bare upright trunk. That silhouette is why the fiddle leaf became the standard corner tree in Australian apartments: it fills vertical space without spreading across a walkway. Five trees sit in this range, between 70cm and 170cm. The living version sulks in low light, marks when it is moved and drops leaves through a cold winter, and none of that applies here.
Sizing across the five
Heights are 70cm, 125cm, 130cm, 150cm and 170cm, priced from $69.95 to $199.95. The 70cm is a bench or console piece rather than a floor tree. From 125cm upward the trees stand on the floor, and 150cm to 170cm is the height that reads correctly beside a three-seat sofa or under a 2.7 metre ceiling.
Positioning and light
Large matte leaves hold their presence in a dim corner where fine foliage simply vanishes, which is why the species ends up beside sofas, on stairwell landings and at the end of hallways. One 150cm tree here is UV resistant and suits a covered alfresco or a balcony under an eave. Other indoor floor plants sit in the artificial potted plants range.
Trunk, leaf count and pot
A single straight trunk reads modern and takes the least floor area; a branched build reads more mature and fills a wider corner. Leaf count matters more than height for how full a tree looks, so a dense 130cm can beat a sparse 170cm. See the planters range if a heavier vessel is wanted for stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do artificial fiddle leaf fig trees come in?
Five heights: 70cm, 125cm, 130cm, 150cm and 170cm, from $69.95 to $199.95. The 70cm is a bench or console piece; everything from 125cm upward stands on the floor. For help matching a height to a ceiling or a staging brief, call 1800 617 341.
Are fake fiddle leaf figs and artificial fiddle leaf figs the same thing?
Yes. Fake fiddle leaf fig, artificial fiddle fig and Ficus lyrata all point at the same tree, and Designer Plants uses artificial throughout. On this species the thing to look at is the leaf surface, because a fiddle leaf blade is large, matte and deeply veined, and a flat glossy panel of the same size gives itself away from across a room.
Can an artificial fiddle leaf fig be used outdoors?
One can. The 150cm handcrafted tree is UV resistant and suits a covered balcony, a verandah or an undercover alfresco area. The 70cm, 125cm, 130cm and 170cm trees are interior pieces and will not hold colour in direct sun.
Which fiddle leaf fig height suits a standard living room?
In a room with a 2.4 to 2.7 metre ceiling, 150cm to 170cm is the height that sits correctly next to a three-seat sofa, roughly at the top of a tall bookshelf. Below 130cm the tree tends to read as an accessory on the floor rather than as a piece of the room.
How does a fiddle leaf fig compare with other artificial potted plants?
A fiddle leaf gives the largest single leaf of any common indoor form, so it reads at distance and does more with fewer pieces. The wider artificial potted plants range covers finer and denser foliage, which suits a shelf, a grouping or a position seen close up. A common approach is one fiddle leaf in the corner and smaller potted plants elsewhere.
Do the leaves need dusting?
More often than a fine-leafed plant. A fiddle leaf blade is broad and held close to horizontal, so it collects dust on its upper face the way a shelf does, and the deep veins hold it. A wipe with a damp cloth every few weeks along the length of the leaf keeps the surface reading matte rather than grey.
Why choose an artificial fiddle leaf fig over a living one?
Living Ficus lyrata is notoriously particular. It wants bright indirect light, resents being repositioned and drops leaves after a move or a cold snap, which is a problem in the exact corner positions people buy it for. An artificial tree holds a full canopy in a dim hallway or a windowless landing indefinitely.
Does an artificial fiddle leaf fig come with a pot?
This varies across the five, so check the individual product page. Because a fiddle leaf carries its weight high on a narrow trunk, the 150cm and 170cm trees are more stable dropped into a heavier vessel, particularly in a walkway or a room with children. Options are in the planters range.

Commercial Grade. Made for Lasting Impact.
Fiddle leaf figs are specified for display suites, co-working floors, consulting rooms and apartment staging, where the shape is recognisable enough to carry a corner without any other styling.
One tree, one corner. The 150cm and 170cm heights are the workhorses for property staging, because a single tree resolves an empty corner in a photograph without additional props.
Consistent repeats. Trees for multiple identical rooms are supplied from the same production run, so leaf count and trunk finish read the same across a whole floor rather than varying room to room.
One covered outdoor option. The UV-resistant 150cm suits balcony and undercover alfresco positions, while the other four builds should stay inside.
Volume for staging portfolios is confirmed on enquiry.
