An artificial olive tree can stand indoors or outdoors, as it is UV-resistant and never needs watering. Choose from heights of just over 1 metre to almost 2 metres, with grey-green olive leaves.
There are three heights, measured from the bottom of the pot to the tallest leaf. The smallest artificial olive tree is 117 cm tall and comes in a ø20 cm pot. It fits next to an armchair, by the front door or on a small balcony. The 140 cm model is a good size next to a sofa or in a hallway. The 180 cm artificial olive tree is big enough to fill an empty corner or dress a living room with a high ceiling.
A real olive tree needs lots of sun and often struggles indoors. It drops leaves or thins out when it gets too little light. An artificial olive tree has none of those problems. You put it wherever you like it, even in the middle of the room or in a hallway without a window. Torn between real and artificial? Read our olive tree care guide first.
Artificial olive tree for outdoors
Many people look for an artificial olive tree for outdoors, for example on a patio or by the front door. That works: all XXLplant artificial plants are UV-resistant, so the leaves do not fade, not even in full sun. Do put the tree in a heavy decorative pot so it stays standing in the wind. In a storm, secure it extra well or bring it inside for a while.
Styling and maintenance
An olive tree belongs in a Mediterranean interior, but it also looks good in a country-style living room with wood and linen. Pair it with a pot made of terracotta, concrete or woven material. You will find more plants in that style under country-style artificial plants.
Maintenance is limited to removing dust. Use a feather duster or a hairdryer on the cold setting for the small leaves. All three models are pet-friendly. In the Netherlands your tree arrives in 4 to 5 working days, and delivery within the Netherlands is free from €99. If anything is damaged on the way, send us a photo and we will send you a new one free of charge.
Frequently asked questions
Can an artificial olive tree stand outside?
Yes. All XXLplant artificial plants are UV-resistant, so an artificial olive tree does not fade in the sun and can stay on a patio, balcony or by the front door all year round. Put it in a heavy pot so it does not topple over in the wind, and rinse the leaves with water now and then.
Is there a small artificial olive tree?
The smallest artificial olive tree at XXLplant is 117 cm tall, measured from the bottom of the pot to the tallest leaf. It comes in a ø20 cm pot. That is a handy size for next to a chair, by the front door or on a balcony.
Is a real or an artificial olive tree better for indoors?
A real olive tree needs lots of sun and often gets too little light indoors. It then drops leaves and thins out. An artificial olive tree stays the same all year, even in a dark spot. That makes an artificial tree the easiest choice for indoors.
How do you clean an artificial olive tree?
Olive trees have lots of small leaves, so wiping them with a cloth is a lot of work. A feather duster or a hairdryer on the cold setting is quicker. Do that every few weeks. If the tree stands outside, rinse off the dust now and then with a gentle spray of water.
How much does an artificial olive tree cost?
At XXLplant an artificial olive tree costs from €119 to €399, depending on the height. There are three models: 117, 140 and 180 cm tall. We deliver within the Netherlands in 4 to 5 working days, and delivery within the Netherlands is free from €99.
