Trailing greenery is one of the hardest things to keep alive indoors and one of the easiest to fake well. This faux hanging eucalyptus does the job properly: rounded, slightly cupped leaves in a soft matte finish, set along flexible stems that fall in an uneven, natural looking cascade rather than a tidy curtain.

The foliage drop is 66cm, which is enough to read from across a room without swamping a shelf. It comes unpotted, so you can drop it straight into a hanging planter, a woven basket or a ceramic pot you already own, and bend the stems until the fall looks right.

Eucalyptus goes by a few names depending on who you ask. You may know it as silver dollar eucalyptus, dollar gum, baby blue gum or simply gum. If you have been searching for trailing or cascading eucalyptus, this is the same thing.

Which colour should I choose?

Green is the truer, fresher tone and holds its own against white walls and timber. Greyish green is the more muted, tonal option, and sits better in a scheme built on stone, linen and putty. Both have the same leaf shape and drop.

Does it come in a pot?

No, the stems are supplied unpotted. That is deliberate, since it means you can hang it, sit it in a basket, or tuck it into an existing planter without fighting a plastic liner.

How do I keep it looking real?

Bend and separate the stems so they fall at slightly different lengths rather than in a neat row. Dust with a soft brush or a hairdryer on cool every few weeks, and keep it out of harsh direct sun, which fades any faux foliage over time.

Why you will love it

  • Rounded, matte finished leaves with a convincing eucalyptus shape
  • Generous 66cm foliage drop for real presence
  • Unpotted, so it works in a hanging planter, basket or pot you already have
  • Two tones: fresh green or a muted greyish green
  • No watering, no light, no mess, and it works in rooms where nothing living will

Where it lives best

  • High shelving: let it spill over the edge of the top shelf to soften a run of built in joinery.
  • Bathrooms and hallways: the dim, low light corners where a real plant sulks.
  • Above cabinetry: fills that awkward gap between the top of the cupboards and the ceiling.
  • In a macrame hanger: adds height and movement to a corner that reads flat.
  • In multiples: two or three together over a shelf run gives you a lush, overgrown look.

Styling it out

It sits comfortably beside textured ceramics and woven baskets. Group it with a piece from our vase collection, or build a fuller arrangement with stems from the artificial flora and faux flowers ranges. If you would like help putting a custom arrangement together, get in touch.

The takeaway

A faux hanging eucalyptus with a 66cm cascading drop, available in green or greyish green and supplied unpotted. Also searched as silver dollar eucalyptus, dollar gum or trailing gum, it brings soft, permanent greenery to high shelves, bathrooms and hanging planters where a living plant will not last.
