Picture the end of a bookshelf that always looks unfinished — an artificial fern fixes it without asking for water. This faux Boston fern brings a full, arching spray of green to a shelf, porch, or hanging basket, and it looks the same in February as it does in June.
At a glance
- Single faux Boston fern with dense, full branches
- Fronds in PE and silk fabric with a soft, realistic texture
- Weather-resistant stems and roots
- Spreads about 31 to 34 inches once the fronds are shaped by hand
- Lightweight enough for a hanging basket, or lay it flat in a pot
- No watering or fertilizing needed
Design notes
Greenery is the fastest way to soften wood, brass, and stone — the palette this house leans on — and a fern does it with more movement than any potted succulent. Let a few fronds drape over a shelf edge or spill from a basket by the door; the loose, arching shape reads relaxed rather than arranged. Browse the rest of the faux plants and botanicals to layer in different heights and leaf shapes.
Size & fit
Shaped out, the fern spreads roughly 31 to 34 inches, so give it room to arch: a wide shelf, a plant stand, an open corner, or a hanging basket where the fronds can fall freely. It is light enough to hang without special hardware considerations.
Materials & care
The fronds are PE and silk fabric on weather-resistant stems and roots. Care is nearly nothing — dust occasionally with a soft, dry cloth or give it a gentle shake, and re-bend individual fronds whenever you want a fuller silhouette.
Good to know
Does it need shaping out of the box? Yes — the fronds arrive folded. Open and bend them by hand until you like the spread.
Can it go on a covered porch? The stems and roots are weather-resistant, so a sheltered outdoor spot works.
What about delivery? Most orders arrive within 4–9 business days.
Can I return it? 30-day returns with no restocking fees, and return shipping within the U.S. is free.
