Yes, the hanging ferns, fern garlands and fern wall panels here are UV resistant, so they keep their color on a porch, patio or balcony. Live ferns scorch in direct sun, which is where artificial ferns earn their place. A covered porch or shaded side yard suits them best.

The 31" button ferns and maidenhair fern, and the 30" dense hanging ferns, are made to hang and give a full drape from a basket or hook. For a longer, looser trail, the fern garland bushes run around 30" to 33". Hang them with S hooks from a beam or bracket.

Yes, and low light is where they are most useful, since a live fern still needs steady light and humidity to hold its fronds. A windowless bathroom, a dark hallway or an office corner all suit artificial ferns. The finer maidenhair and button ferns read particularly well up close.

Yes. The Lush Fern panel and the Country Fern vertical garden are 40" x 40" panels that each cover about 11 sq ft and click together edge to edge. For a softer edge or a hanging feature, fern garlands and hanging discs with draping ferns add depth in front of a panel wall.

Live Boston and maidenhair ferns need constant humidity and even moisture, and shed fronds quickly when either slips. Artificial ferns hold their shape in dry, air-conditioned or dark spaces with no watering or cleanup. There is no leaf drop to sweep and nothing to repot.

A hairdryer on the cool setting clears dust from fine fronds better than a cloth. Outdoor ferns can be rinsed with water a few times a year, with a little hand soap if they have collected grime. Avoid solvent-based cleaners, which can damage the leaf finish.
