This pair of compact Boston ferns unfolds into a natural spread of 31 to 34 inches, making it an easy way to add greenery to a smaller shelf, side table, or apartment balcony without the bulk of a larger arrangement. Each plant weighs just under half a pound, with 30 branches woven from silk fabric and PE that mimic the soft texture of a real fern while resisting fading in sunlight. The stems and roots are weather-resistant, so the ferns hold their shape whether hung from a basket hook or laid flat in a pot to soften the edge of a porch step - note that no pot is included, so you'll want to have one ready. There's no watering, fertilizing, or weeding required to keep the greenery looking full year-round; if a passing rain shower leaves the leaves wet, a quick run with a hairdryer on low heat dries them out and restores their shape in minutes.
