Potted Boston Fern 68cm

This is a small potted faux fern from Furniture Tree's Artificial Plants and Planters collection. The pot itself measures 12 cm across and 11 cm high, and the listing counts 16 leaves on the plant. There's a mismatch worth flagging before we go further: the product title says 68 cm, but the specifications table on the same page lists the height as 35 cm. Those two numbers are quite different for a small potted item, so if the actual height matters to where you're putting it, it's worth confirming with Furniture Tree before you order. Being artificial rather than a living plant, it doesn't need light, water or humidity to keep looking full, which means it can go in spots a real fern would struggle with, like a windowless hallway, a low-light corner, or a bathroom shelf that never sees direct sun. It's also a reasonable option if you travel a lot, rent and can't commit to houseplant maintenance, or simply don't want to add another thing to water. That's really the main practical reason to choose a faux fern over the real thing: it looks the part without needing any upkeep. For care, faux greenery like this generally just needs an occasional dust with a soft cloth or a light once-over with a hairdryer on a cool setting to get into the fronds, and it's worth keeping it out of direct, strong sunlight over time, since prolonged sun exposure can fade the colour on artificial foliage generally. Furniture Tree's own page doesn't specify what the leaves and stems are made from, or what the pot itself is made of and what colour it is, so if those details matter to you, it's worth asking before buying. At this size, it suits a spot where you want a bit of greenery without committing much space, a bathroom vanity, a bookshelf, a windowsill, or alongside other small decor on a sideboard or console table. If you're after more greenery for the same room, Furniture Tree's Artificial Plants and Planters range also includes a Pussy Willow Branch (1.16 m, $16), a Twisted Willow Branch in green (1.3 m, $11), and a potted Monstera on a pole (1.2 m, $299) for something taller and more of a feature piece. If you're styling a shelf around it, the site also lists a ceramic candle holder in tan and white (12.5 cm diameter, 15 cm high, $29) as a pairing. The Potted Boston Fern 68cm is $59, with Afterpay available as 4 interest-free payments of $14.75 for anyone eligible and over 18. Delivery charges depend on the product and delivery address.
