🌿 Fine, toothed leaflets in fans • 📏 2 heights: 180 or 210 cm • 🌳 Several slender brown trunks • 🌑 No light or watering needed • 🐾 Non-toxic to pets • ✨ Green all year round
The artificial Mahonia fortunei recreates the foliage of the mahonia as an indoor tree: several slender, brown, slightly knotty trunks rise from the pot and carry, at the ends of the branches, compound leaves made of long, narrow, finely toothed leaflets in a fresh green, arranged in fans. This light foliage lets the eye pass through and gives it an airy silhouette and a realistic look, even up close.
It comes in 180 and 210 cm: at 210 cm, it is the tallest of our artificial plants. It adds height to a room without cluttering it and keeps its leaves and colour all year round, whether in a dark room or an air-conditioned office.
Which height should you choose?
Both heights share the same slender trunks and the same fans of leaflets, each with its own silhouette — here's how to choose depending on the spot:
- 180 cm: on the floor, in a living room corner, next to a sofa or a bookcase, or in an entryway, where its crown rises above the furniture and dresses the upper part of the wall. For a living room, a bedroom, an office or a dining room with a standard ceiling height. Delivered in a Ø17 cm pot.
- 210 cm: in a room with a high ceiling, a mezzanine, a stairwell, a reception hall or next to a large picture window, where a smaller tree would look lost. To bring verticality to a large space or frame an opening. Delivered in a Ø20 cm pot.
For a more natural green corner, pair the two heights: the 210 cm at the back and the 180 cm in front, slightly offset.
Artificial or real Mahonia fortunei?
The living Mahonia fortunei is an evergreen garden shrub, grown outdoors in shade or partial shade. Its artificial version brings this fine foliage indoors, whether in a heated living room or a windowless room, and measures 180 or 210 cm from the moment it is delivered, with no watering or pruning.
Where to place it?
As it needs no light, it can go wherever it makes the most impact, even far from a window.
- Living spaces: living room, dining room, bedroom, next to a sofa, a bookcase or a console table.
- Large spaces: high-ceilinged living area, mezzanine, stairwell, landing.
- Workspaces: office, reception, waiting room, shop window.
- Avoid: prolonged direct sun behind glass, which fades the colours over time, and placing it right next to a radiator.
It is designed for indoor use: on a balcony or terrace, sun and rain would damage its leaves.
Setting up & care
When it arrives, take a few minutes to give it its final shape: that's what makes the difference between a stiff artificial plant and a mahonia that looks alive.
- Shaping: spread the branches slightly apart and open the fans of leaflets, turning them in several directions, at different heights.
- Dusting: a quick pass with a feather duster or soft cloth from time to time.
- Cleaning: a slightly damp cloth over the leaves, then a dry cloth.
- Over time: it lasts from one year to the next, with no repotting or fertiliser.
Let some fans droop slightly and turn others sideways rather than presenting them all face-on: the foliage looks lighter and the result instantly becomes more natural.
Decor ideas & pairings
Its fine leaflets and airy foliage add a light, natural touch, and it lends itself to arrangements, colors, and textures just like a real plant.
- For a polished finish, slip the Ø20 cm pot of the 210 cm into the Elho B.for Soft Anthracite decorative pot in Ø22 cm, for a contemporary look, the ELHO Vibes Fold White decorative pot Ø22 cm, for a bright interior, or the natural Selin basket in Ø22 cm, for a natural feel.
- For a contrast of foliage, place our artificial pine, our artificial Polyscias, our artificial Zamioculcas, our artificial Alocasia, our artificial Philodendron selloum, our artificial red philodendron, our artificial Pachira, our artificial Kentia, our artificial Magnolia grandiflora, our artificial Dracaena reflexa, our artificial eucalyptus, our artificial Monstera deliciosa or our artificial Ficus lyrata next to it — their needles, their round, glossy, split, perforated or fiddle-shaped leaves and their fronds echo the fine leaflets of the mahonia.
In front of a white wall or a neutral background, the outline of the slender trunks and fans of leaves stands out clearly and gives the room structure.
Verdeia tips
- Hide the nursery pot: slipped into a decorative pot from our selection of pots and decorative pots, it instantly looks like a real plant.
- Dress the surface: the pot is filled with imitation soil; a few pebbles, a little moss or bark on top complete the illusion.
- Create a green corner: explore our full range of artificial plants and flowers to combine different foliage and different heights.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
