Artificial Plants
An artificial plant needs no watering, no light and no seasonal care, which makes it the correct choice in three situations a live plant cannot survive: a space with no natural light at all, a property nobody visits often enough to water, and a fit-out where the client needs the installation to look identical on day one and year three.
Artificial trees by species
The range covers the species most often specified for UAE interiors, each in the sizes that suit a room rather than a nursery.
Artificial Olive Tree runs across five sizes and is the most requested piece on the page. AED 380 at 1.5 metres, AED 750 at 210cm, AED 2,200 at 2 metres, AED 5,000 at 2.7 metres and AED 6,999 at 3 metres. The jump in price above 2 metres reflects a heavier trunk and denser foliage count rather than height alone, which is why a 2.7 metre tree costs more than double a 2 metre one.
Artificial Kentia Palm is AED 275 at 1.8 metres. Artificial Areca Palm is the most flexible palm here, at AED 149 for 1.3 metres, rising to AED 399 at 2 metres. Artificial Bird of Paradise is AED 300 at 180cm and AED 430 at 220cm, and gives the largest leaf profile of anything on this page.
Artificial Ficus Lyrata, the fiddle leaf fig, is AED 240 at 1.6 metres. Artificial Ficus Benjamina, the weeping fig, is AED 220 at 1.8 metres. Large Artificial Ficus Tree reaches 2 metres at AED 400, and Artificial Spiral Ficus is AED 330 at 180cm for a trained spiral trunk.
The Dracaena family covers three forms: Artificial Dracaena at AED 200 for 150cm and AED 300 for 180cm, Dracaena Reflexa at AED 260 at 140cm, and Dracaena Marginata at AED 250 at 140cm. Artificial Dieffenbachia at AED 140 for 120cm is the lowest-priced full plant, and Artificial Banana Plant is AED 430 at 180cm.
Shaped and structural pieces
Artificial Ehretia Balls come in two sizes at AED 380 and AED 650, and are used in pairs to frame an entrance where live topiary would need trimming every four to six weeks. Artificial Bonsai is AED 650 at 0.8 metres. The Artificial Expandable Trellis at AED 40 covers a 2 by 1 metre span and is used as a backing for climbing foliage on a bare wall.
Artificial grass
Artificial Grass is supplied at AED 1,800 for 50 square metres. Surface temperature is the factor most comparisons leave out: artificial turf in direct July sun runs considerably hotter underfoot than natural grass, which matters for any area used barefoot or by pets during the day. It suits shaded courtyards, balconies and areas used mainly after dark better than open sun-exposed lawns.
Pots and presentation
Every piece on this page is priced in its plastic or nursery pot. You can add a decorative pot of your choice separately on each product page, or drop the plant into a decorative container you already own and use it as a cachepot.
Realism and what you are paying for
Quality varies more in this category than buyers expect, and the price ladder tracks three things: leaf texture, colour consistency under artificial lighting, and trunk realism. Cheap artificial foliage reads as plastic under warm indoor lighting even when it photographs well. Trunk finish is usually the first thing that gives away a low-cost tree at close range, which is why the larger olive trees carry the price they do.
Corporate, fit-out and FM supply
Offices, hotels, clinics and retail fit-outs are a large share of this category, and the requirements differ from a home order. Fire rating matters: many commercial fit-outs specify fire-retardant artificial foliage, and it needs to be requested at order rather than assumed as standard. Volume orders across multiple floors or sites are quoted directly rather than through the cart. For the live-plant equivalent in a commercial setting, see indoor plant maintenance, which covers scheduled care for real plants in the same spaces.
When a live plant is still the better call
Artificial makes sense in no-light, no-access and guaranteed-appearance situations. Everywhere else a live plant is cheaper at comparable size, and the low-maintenance species most people assume they cannot keep alive survive far more neglect than expected. The honest comparison is that artificial wins on certainty and loses on cost per centimetre of height. The live range is on indoor plants.
FAQ
How much does an artificial olive tree cost in Dubai?
Artificial olive trees run from AED 380 for a 1.5 metre tree up to AED 6,999 for a 3 metre specimen. Price climbs faster than height above 2 metres because larger trees carry a heavier trunk and a much higher foliage count.
Do artificial plants fade in UAE sun?
Foliage placed in direct sunlight through glass will fade over time, which is why artificial pieces last longest in interior positions away from a south or west-facing window. UV-stable outdoor-rated foliage is a separate specification and should be requested for any outdoor placement.
Are fire-retardant artificial plants available?
Yes. Fire-retardant foliage is commonly specified for offices, hotels and clinics, and it needs to be requested at the time of order rather than assumed as standard.
Can I get an artificial plant in a decorative pot?
Yes. Each artificial plant comes in its plastic or nursery pot, and you can add a decorative pot of your choice separately on the product page, or drop it into a container you already own.
Do artificial plants need any maintenance?
No watering, feeding or light is needed. Dusting every few weeks is the only upkeep, and it matters more in the UAE than in most climates because interior dust load is high enough to visibly dull foliage.
Which artificial plant looks most realistic?
Realism tracks price through leaf texture, colour consistency under artificial light and trunk finish. Trunk finish is usually what gives away a low-cost tree at close range, which is where the larger olive and ficus trees justify their cost.
Can you supply artificial plants for an office or hotel fit-out?
Yes. Volume orders across multiple floors or sites are quoted directly rather than through the cart, and fire rating is specified per site requirement.
How hot does artificial grass get in Dubai summer?
Artificial turf runs hotter underfoot in direct July sun than natural grass, which makes it better suited to shaded courtyards, balconies and spaces used after dark than to open sun-exposed lawn areas.
