Product Insights
Simons Maison's 170 cm Artificial California Fan Palm offers a botanically accurate silhouette and frond shape of the native southwestern Washingtonia filifera, with adjustable fronds via internal wires that become permanent. Its Mint/Pistachio color is a design-forward departure from natural replicas, and its plastic construction resists indoor humidity but is clearly plastic up close. Priced at $198 CAD—$29 more than a UV-resistant Robellini alternative—it ships fully assembled but requires a weighted base for stability and is limited to indoor use.
Verified claims
- Poseability
- Fronds stay bent permanently due to internal iron wire core.
- Visual silhouette
- Silhouette and leaf shape are accurate to the California fan palm; leaf color is a brighter interior tone.
- Material
- Trunk, leaves, and planter mimic natural materials at a distance but are clearly plastic up close.
- Shaping
- Leaves arrive compressed; internal wires allow shaping for a natural arch.
- Value
- At $198 CAD, it costs $29 more than a UV-resistant 72 Robellini palm alternative.
- Botanical accuracy
- Botanically accurate to Washingtonia filifera in frond shape, color, and scale.
- Frond customization
- Internal wire allows bending for natural arch; leaves need gentle arrangement.
- Humidity resilience

- Indoor use
- Indoor use only; plastic construction resists humidity but not outdoor elements.
- Setup
- Ships fully assembled with adjustable fronds; the lightweight planter may need ballast.
- Color
- Mint/Pistachio Green is a design-forward choice, not a botanical replica.
- Botanical heritage

Deep Research
How accurately it captures the real California fan palm
- A mature Washingtonia filifera typically reaches 9–15 m (30–50 ft), so this 170 cm artificial plant functions as a scaled-down interior piece that retains the species' vertical, columnar silhouette in a size practical for home use — mimicking how the palm is often kept smaller in container cultivation.
- The product's explicit identification as a California fan palm (Washingtonia filifera) connects it to the only palm species native to the southwestern United States, a desert oasis icon that brings a specific botanical story to the decor rather than a generic tropical plant.
- The product description's 'tapered leaves' directly mirrors the real Washingtonia filifera frond structure, which is costapalmate and split into numerous segments with naturally pendulous, tapered tips — the defining fan silhouette of the species.
- The Mint/Pistachio Green variant of this artificial palm interprets the real Washingtonia filifera's distinctive gray-blue-green foliage — a color used as a marker of genetic purity in the species — into a brighter, cooler green that still channels the palm's desert heritage.
How the price compares to similar-tier artificial palms
- The 198 CAD price aligns with specialist artificial plant retailers globally: The Plant Factory's 170 cm palm is 199 AUD, and Designer Vertical Gardens' 180 cm multi-trunk fan palm retails at 199.87 AUD, placing Simons Maison's offering squarely in the mid-tier of design-conscious artificial trees rather than at the budget end.
- At 198 CAD for 170 cm, this palm crowns the price bracket above the 72-inch Robellini palm from Artificial Greenery ($169 CAD, with UV resistance and 57 leaves) and the 58-inch kwai palm from Silk Plant Decor ($150 CAD, with UV resistance and real-touch fronds) — so the premium is tied to the Simons Maison brand and the specific California Fan Palm silhouette rather than durability features or leaf density.
How the plastic leaves and iron wire hold up over time
- Each palm frond contains an internal iron wire, which lets you bend and arrange the leaves to mimic the natural arch of a California fan palm — unlike stems made only of molded plastic that can kink or snap, the wire holds its pose without damage, preserving the silhouette you set for years.
- Plastic foliage is inherently resistant to moisture and environmental wear, so this palm won't develop mold, rot, or warp in humid indoor spots like bathrooms and kitchens — unlike fabric or silk plants that can degrade in damp air, the all-plastic construction maintains its shape and color without special care.
Upgrading the planter for stability and style
- For a 170 cm tall palm, the decorative planter should stand roughly 56–85 cm tall (⅓ to ½ the tree's height) to create a visually balanced silhouette that feels intentional rather than top-heavy.
- Ceramic, concrete, and stone planters supply inherent weight that resists tipping; their mass lowers the tree's effective center of gravity and visually anchors its airy fronds, making additional internal weighting optional rather than mandatory.
- A planter with a broad, flat base (like a bowl or low cylinder) naturally resists tipping forces much better than a tall, narrow urn, making it the safer silhouette for a floor-standing artificial palm that might get bumped in a living room or hallway.
- Drawing from industry sizing data that assigns a 15–16 inch diameter to 6–7 ft trees, a 5'7" palm comfortably occupies a 14–16 inch planter—wide enough to balance the frond span and provide a stable footprint without overwhelming the room.
- Even with a heavy planter, a 2–3 inch layer of sand or gravel poured into the bottom before seating the inner pot acts as a cheap ballast that further drops the center of gravity—a smart backup in homes with children, pets, or high-traffic zones.
- Fiberglass planters offer a sleek, modern matte look at far less weight than stone—but they depend entirely on internal filler for stability, so packing the base with sand or concrete mix turns them into a stable, non-tipping vessel while preserving that clean aesthetic.

Documents & Data
Q&A
4 answered- Does the included black planter have enough weight to keep the 170 cm tall palm from tipping over, or does it require additional weighting?
- The planter is plastic styled to look like mud, so it may not be heavy enough to prevent tipping for a 170 cm tall palm. We recommend adding weight at the bottom for stability.
- How realistic are the leaves and trunk up close? Are the leaves made of soft, bendable plastic or stiff, shiny material?
- The leaves are made of plastic and may feel somewhat stiff rather than soft and bendable. The trunk has a natural-looking finish but is clearly artificial up close.
- Can this palm be placed outdoors on a covered porch, or is it strictly for indoor use even if protected from direct rain?
- This palm is recommended for indoor use only and should not be placed outdoors, even on a covered porch, as the materials are not designed to withstand outdoor conditions.
- Does the palm require any assembly or arrangement of leaves, or does it come fully arranged in the planter?
- The palm comes fully assembled in the planter with no assembly required. You may only need to gently separate and arrange the leaves to achieve a natural look.
