The 46 inch artificial sansevieria has long, straight-edged foliage that stands at various heights. The black stripes accenting each leaf amplify its realistic appearance. With its earth-toned coloring, it will make an excellent addition to any muted space like an office, study, or den. It will also look lovely on your sunroom's console table accented with a colorful doily underneath. Silk trees are manufactured using synthetic materials, such as polyester material or plastic, and are well designed and constructed to be life-like in appearance. This item will need to be re-shaped when removed from the secure box to allow it to reach its fullest size. Your artificial tree will look beautiful for years to come; simply wipe clean with a soft dry cloth when needed.
