The Mini Potted Green

What it is and what it is made of

The Mini Potted Green is a single-piece artificial plant with its own black pot. The leaves and stems are plastic, and the stem core is bendable wire. That wire lets you shape the plant by hand so it sits the way you want on a desk, shelf or windowsill. Each leaf has a molded center vein, which gives the foliage a little texture up close.

The plant is green, and the pot is black. It is a small accent, not a floor piece, so it works well where space is tight.

Sizes

The plant is 7.09 in (18 cm) tall and 4.72 in (12 cm) wide. The pot is 2.63 in (6.7 cm) tall and 2.05 in (5.2 cm) wide. These are the measurements of the plant as it arrives. You can bend the stems to make it a little wider or taller, or to tuck it into a narrow spot.

Styles

The Mini Potted Green comes in five styles: Grass, Fern, Lavender, Eucalyptus and Boxwood. Each style has its own leaf shape and outline, so you can pick the look that fits your room. Grass has thin upright blades. Fern has soft, feathery fronds. Lavender has slim leaves on taller stems. Eucalyptus has rounded leaves along the stem. Boxwood has small, dense leaves.

All five styles share the same size, the same green leaves, the same black pot and the same bendable wire core. Pick one style for a single spot, or mix a few for a small group on a shelf.

Where to use it

This mini plant fits small spaces. Use it on a desk, a nightstand, a bookshelf, a kitchen windowsill or a bathroom counter. It also works on a coffee table, a entryway table or a home office shelf. The black pot and green leaves suit most rooms, from a bright kitchen to a quiet bedroom.

Because the plant is small and light, you can move it around the house as your space changes. Set it on a stack of books, a tray or a small stand. You can also place it next to a lamp or a picture frame for a simple, tidy look.

If you want a fuller look, group two or three styles together. Grass and Boxwood make a clean pair. Fern and Eucalyptus add a softer shape. Lavender stands a little taller and adds a slim line.

The plant is made for indoor use. Keep it out of direct sun and away from heat sources so the plastic leaves stay in good shape.

How to shape it

The stem core is bendable wire, so you can adjust the plant by hand. Gently bend the stems outward to open up the shape, or inward to make it narrower. Work slowly and bend one stem at a time. Do not pull hard on the leaves. If a stem feels stiff, bend it a little at a time until it holds the shape you want.

You can also turn the plant to face the room. The pot is small, so it fits on most surfaces without taking up much room.

Care

Wipe the leaves and the pot clean with a dry cloth. Do not use water, soap or harsh cleaners. Dust the plant every few weeks to keep the leaves looking fresh. No watering, no trimming and no sunlight needed.

What you get
