Description
The Chitose is an artificial plant: a compact faux succulent with plump, finger-like green leaves gathered into a rosette, set in a small square pot and topped with a layer of white pebbles. The pot has a distressed grey finish, a dark grey brushed through with pale streaks that gives it a weathered look, and the soft green of the leaves sits calmly against it. It is made from plastic and papier-mâché, and it measures 7.5cm long, 7.5cm wide and 12cm high, a size that slips into the smallest gap on a shelf.
Because it is small and weighs just 0.34KG, it sits happily on a side table, a bedside table, a desk or a bookshelf, wherever a touch of green would lift a corner of a room. It suits anyone who loves the look of a succulent but has no time for watering, and it works in rooms where a living plant would struggle, such as a dim hallway or an office with little daylight. The muted grey and green sit comfortably beside natural wood, white walls and black and white textiles, and the square pot stands neatly alongside books or a lamp base. We think it also makes a thoughtful small gift for a new home or a desk at work.
Being artificial, it needs no water, no feeding and no sunlight, so there is no watering routine to remember. Papier-mâché is a paper-based material that softens when it gets wet, so keep the whole piece dry, away from steam and spills, and treat it as an indoor ornament. When dust settles on the leaves, a soft dry cloth or a clean, soft brush clears it gently. Kept dry and dusted now and then, it needs no other attention.

Frequently Asked
Does the Chitose artificial plant need watering?
No. It is an artificial plant, so it needs no water, feeding or sunlight. In fact we suggest keeping it dry, because papier-mâché softens when it gets wet.
How big is the Chitose artificial plant?
It measures 7.5cm long, 7.5cm wide and 12cm high and weighs 0.34KG, so it fits easily on a desk, a bookshelf or a bedside table.
What material is the Chitose plant?
It is made from plastic and papier-mâché, a light pairing, which is why the whole piece weighs just 0.34KG and moves easily from room to room.
Can the artificial plant go in a bathroom or outdoors?
We recommend keeping it indoors in a dry room. Papier-mâché is paper-based and softens with moisture, so a steamy bathroom or a garden is not the right place.
What colour is the pot?
The square pot is a dark grey brushed with pale, light grey streaks, a distressed finish that gives it a weathered look beside the soft green leaves.
How should I clean the leaves?
Wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth or a clean, soft brush. Avoid water and damp cloths, since papier-mâché softens whenever it gets wet.
