The Phoenix Tail Yucca arches rather than bristles. Its narrow blades fan out from the centre in green washed with burgundy, and a few golden lower leaves fall away over the rim of the pot, so a compact 50cm plant carries a surprising amount of movement.

Also known as spineless yucca, soft-tip yucca or Yucca elephantipes, and often grouped loosely with dracaenas and dragon plants, it brings that sculptural outline to spots a living plant would struggle with: an entry with no window, a stairwell landing, a north facing bathroom. It sits comfortably beside rounder leaves from our Faux Plants range, where the contrast in shape does the styling for you.

It arrives in a plain black nursery pot 16cm across, ready to drop into a cover pot from our Planters & Pots edit. As a gift it suits a new office, a desk-bound friend, or anyone in a small flat who wants greenery without a watering roster.

Why You'll Love It

  • Narrow arching blades give a 50cm plant real shape and movement
  • Green blades with burgundy tones and a few golden lower leaves for a natural, lived-in look
  • An architectural outline that holds its own against plain walls and minimal interiors
  • Blades can be fanned open or drawn in by hand to suit the spot
  • No watering and no light needed, so it looks the same in July as in January

Product Details

  • Height: 50cm
  • Pot: black plastic nursery pot, 16cm diameter, 13cm high
  • Colour: green blades with burgundy tones and golden lower leaves
  • Type: artificial yucca
  • Use: indoor
  • Care: dust with a soft dry cloth

Finding Its Spot

  • On an entry console beside a bowl for keys, where the arching blades soften a hard-edged table
  • In a pale stone or sand-toned cover pot that picks up the golden lower leaves
  • Beside a rounder-leafed plant so the two outlines play off each other
  • On a desk or office shelf where light is low and watering would be forgotten

Pairs beautifully with the Zurich Ceramic Planter in Large, which takes its 16cm nursery pot with room to spare.

FAQs

Is it prickly?
No. Unlike a living yucca, the blade tips are soft and bend by hand, so it can sit at hand height in a hallway or on a desk.

Will it fit a standard planter?
The nursery pot is 16cm across, so it drops into most cover pots with an internal diameter of 17cm or more. For anything narrower, lift the plant out of its pot and pack it in with tissue.

Does it look like a dracaena?
It shares the fountain-shaped outline of many dracaenas, with narrower blades and warmer burgundy tones. For broad green leaves in a black pot, see the Small Dracaena, 45cm Potted Faux Plant.

In Short

The Phoenix Tail Yucca, 50cm Potted Faux Plant is an artificial spineless yucca with narrow arching green and burgundy blades and golden lower leaves, supplied in a 16cm black nursery pot. It suits entryways, desks, consoles and dim bathrooms, needs no watering or light, and makes an easy office or housewarming gift.
