Artificial Banana Plants

Banana Plant with Ripe Bananas

• Since banana plants are often associated directly with the banana fruit, some people want the fruit displayed in their artificial plant. Some artificial banana plants will have a banana bunch or two hanging from the bottom of the large banana plant leaves. There are two types of banana plants with artificial bananas. If you want the bananas to stand out and be the focal point, purchase the banana plant with the ripe, yellow bananas. If you want a more subtle banana plant display, go with the smaller, light green bananas that appear to be developing slowly. This indicates a sense of natural life and growth, despite being an artificial plant.

Fruitless Banana Plant

• If you enjoy looking at the large banana plant tree leaves that often give a tropical feel, then a fruitless banana plant is the option for you. The fruitless banana plant has larger and broader leaves than the artificial plant with the bananas on it, because the leaves are now the focus. You will also find that there is much more detailing on the artificial stem, such as cuts and flakes to resemble a palm tree like texture. In some cases, the plant may even have several stems depending on its size. This type of plant goes well in larger rooms or office settings where some extra color or life is needed.

Table-Sized Banana Plant

• The table-sized banana plant is not as detailed as the two above mentioned banana plants. The table-sized plant does not have any artificial fruit on it as in the first example, as it would look unrealistic due to its size. This design only has one main banana plant stem, which transforms into four to six main leaves. The leaves are dark green with a wide surface space. The stem itself does have a bit of texture, but not enough to take the focus off the banana plant leaves, as they are the main focus of this type of artificial banana plant.
