To be frankly honest... I'd walk it out to the curb. I'd replace it with a low painted bench that could display a pot of flowers, or a couple pumpkins or some wrapped, weighted boxes for the different seasons. Good Luck!
Agreed on the tossing as replacing with different branches of a sort will not be cost effective.
You can use ribbons that are somewhat stiff to lace through the leaves which will lift them and make them less limp and add fun color and decor. Have fun with it!!
Trim the fake stalks so they are even, attach a cute birdhouse or something on top. Put some diy vertical sign (welcome, house numbers etc) in front of the stalks to hide them, then place some real plants in containers around it.
I have two tall silk trees and need something about the height of your plant. If you really want to refurbish it then do it! First, do some window shopping at a crafts store or where silk plants are sold. Check out different styles and how they are made. Find limbs/leaves that you really love and use hot glue. You could even hang fruit in it. Something small. I have 3 pears (they are a muted greenish color) and are on one stem one lower than the other. Would blend in and add texture. Mine look real enough to eat. Now, about that pot. You could faux finish it to change the entire look and fill it to the top with moss or buy a new pot. Then again, it depends on how much time and money you want to spend. Last, clean it up and donate it to Habitat for Humanity.
Our Dollar store has faux plant clumps that I take apart and redistribute for other things. Might be an idea in there.
The dollar store faux flowers are my choice. Remember that the smaller the flower/bud the more realistic they appear.

I would try first ( on practice paper) using original leaves cutting them to a different style leaf. Maybe then you wouldn't have to buy too much more supplies. :-)
Hobby stores have large wood house numbers that could be decorated and glued on the stems. Then perch an owl on the top. If the owl was fairly realistic looking it may keep other birds from soiling your front stoop.
I have a citronella plant on my entry porch and it helps keep the mosquitoes away.
This plant is somewhat tired. First clean the plant and let dry. Then freshen it up with green floral wire on the back of the leaves. Glue the wire on with a glue gun. You will be able to make the leaves stand up and look fresher. You can repaint the pot or get a new one at Walmart or the Dollar Store. I would add a little floral Moss around the base. Since this is a tropical plant, if you want something with color with it you might add a tropical floral to it.
North Florida gets very few freeze days and the plant has thrived on my porch which is like an inset, just about 6 inches wider than the door on each side. Only thing I do is water once a week, and if it gets long shoots, I break them off and stick them in the dirt. Sometimes they grow, sometimes they die. I plan to add a pot of lemon grass this year, seems the squites are beginning to like the citronella. I'm across the street from a lake and lots of vegetation around here so it's a continuing battle. Are you near Midland, daughter lived there and it's so hot and dusty!
