🌲 Fine needles in tufts • 📏 2 heights: 80 or 120 cm • 🔹 Grey-blue tips on some shoots • 🪵 Knotty trunk and branches • 🌑 No light or watering needed • 🐾 Non-toxic to pets
The artificial pine captures the look of a young potted pine: a single trunk and knotty brown branches carry fine needles in a natural grey-green, grouped in tufts at the ends of the shoots. On some shoots, the tips take on a lighter grey-blue tint, which gives it a realistic look, even up close.
It comes in 80 and 120 cm. Among our artificial plants, it is the only conifer: in December it can be decorated like a small Christmas tree, and for the rest of the year it keeps the look of a potted pine, with its needles and colour intact.
Which height should you choose?
Both heights share the same tufted needles, the same grey-blue tips and the same brown trunk, each with its own silhouette — here's how to choose depending on the spot:
- 80 cm: on a low sideboard, a chest or a hallway unit, or on the floor next to an armchair, where it stays at eye level for someone sitting down. For a bedroom, an entryway, a small living room or an office. Delivered in a Ø17 cm pot.
- 120 cm: on the floor, in a living room corner, near a picture window or in a reception area, where it takes the place of a small Christmas tree. To dress a living room, a dining room or a bare stretch of wall. Delivered in a Ø18 cm pot.
For a symmetrical entrance, place a pine on each side of the door; for a more natural corner, pair the 120 cm at the back and the 80 cm in front, slightly offset.
Artificial pine or real Christmas tree?
The artificial pine is decorated for the holidays and then stays in place all year round, in a heated living room as well as in a windowless room, with no needles on the floor and no watering to keep an eye on. Its 80 and 120 cm stay the same from one year to the next, whereas our living Christmas trees need a cool, bright room and are replanted in the garden after the holidays.
If you prefer a real conifer, our potted Christmas trees remain a safe bet: the Picea glauca 'Conica' (Dwarf Spruce Christmas Tree), with its dense, regular cone, its Picea glauca 'Conica' Snowy (Frosted Dwarf Spruce Christmas Tree) version, with whitened tips, the Picea glauca 'Sander's Blue' (Dwarf Blue Spruce Christmas Tree) and the Picea pungens 'Glauca' (Colorado Blue Spruce Christmas Tree), with bluish foliage, or the Picea omorika (Serbian Spruce Christmas Tree), with its slender silhouette. For a living conifer to keep indoors, the Araucaria heterophylla (Norfolk Island pine) spreads its tiered branches near a bright window. You'll find them in our Potted Christmas trees selection, along with our tips on how to choose, keep and replant a potted Christmas tree.
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.
- Entrances and hallways: hall, entryway, landing, corridor, foot of the stairs.
- 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, a fireplace or lit candles.
It is designed for indoor use: on a balcony or terrace, sun and rain would damage its needles.
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 pine that looks alive.
- Shaping: spread the branches slightly apart and open up the tufts of needles, turning them in several directions.
- Holiday decorating: an LED string light and lightweight decorations, spread over the whole height so the branches do not bend.
- Dusting: a quick pass with a feather duster or soft cloth from time to time.
- Cleaning: a slightly damp cloth over the branches and needles, then a dry cloth.
- Over time: it lasts from one year to the next, with no repotting or fertiliser.
Spread the grey-blue-tipped shoots at different heights and turn them towards the front: their shades show better and the result instantly looks more natural.
Decor ideas & pairings
Its grey-green needles and grey-blue tips add a woody, wintry touch, and it lends itself to arrangements, colors, and textures just like a real plant.
- For the holidays, dress it with a warm white string light and a few silver or white baubles that pick up the grey-blue tips of the needles, and complete the display with our Christmas plants.
- For a polished finish, slip the Ø18 cm pot of the 120 cm into the Mayk Lead decorative pot in brushed anthracite black Ø20 cm, for a contemporary look, or into the white Celestial basket Ø20 cm, for a Scandinavian feel.
- For a contrast of foliage, place 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 round, glossy, split, perforated or fiddle-shaped leaves and their light fronds echo the fine needles of the pine.
In front of a white wall or a neutral background, the outline of the trunk and knotty branches 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 pine cones, 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.
