This artificial variegated ficus from Bolero stands at 5ft and is constructed with polyester silk leaves on a natural wood stem. The variegated leaf pattern closely mimics the appearance of a live ficus, making it a practical choice for commercial spaces where a planted look is desirable without the ongoing commitment of live plant maintenance.In busy hospitality and catering environments, live plants can be difficult to sustain — inconsistent watering, leaf drop, and allergenic pollen all create housekeeping challenges. An artificial plant of this quality removes those variables entirely. The silk leaves hold their shape and colour well under consistent ambient lighting conditions, and the natural wood stem gives the piece a grounded, realistic appearance that cheaper plastic alternatives often lack.From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward: No watering, feeding, or specialist care required No leaf drop to clear from floors or furniture No pollen or allergens — suitable for all guest environments Occasional light dusting is all that is needed to maintain appearance Consistent visual presentation throughout the year At 8kg, the plant is substantial enough to feel well-grounded in position without being unwieldy to reposition during cleaning or room layout changes. It is best suited to foyers, reception areas, dining rooms, and waiting areas where a consistent, low-maintenance decorative element is needed. It is not intended for outdoor use or environments with high humidity.If you are furnishing multiple areas or need a different height or species, we carry a range of artificial plants — it is worth getting in touch to discuss what works best for your space and layout before ordering.
