Not every corner gets good light, and that is exactly where the Sword Fern does its best work.

This 60cm faux sword fern arrives potted and ready to place, with long fronds that spill softly over the edge of whatever holds it. It reads as genuinely lush from across a room, which makes it a quiet fix for the shelf, mantel or bathroom ledge where a living plant would slowly give up. Also known as Nephrolepis, fishbone fern or ladder fern, it is one of the most recognisable trailing ferns there is, and one of the most forgiving in faux form. Browse the rest of our faux plants if you are building a fuller green corner, or pair it with a vessel from plants and planters.

Does it come with a pot?
Yes, this one arrives potted, so it is ready to style straight away. Many people slip it into a decorative cover pot for a more finished look.

Will it fade in a sunny room?
Faux foliage holds colour well, though as with any artificial botanical, prolonged direct sunlight will dull the green over time. A spot with bright indirect light is ideal.

How do I keep it looking fresh?
A gentle dust with a soft cloth every few weeks is all it asks. No watering, no misting, no light requirements.

As a gift it lands well with renters, new homeowners, and anyone who loves the look of plants but travels too much to keep one alive. It is an easy housewarming pick, or pair it with a ceramic piece from our decor range for something more substantial.

Why You'll Love It

  • 60cm of trailing greenery with no watering, misting or light needed
  • Works in the low-light spots where real ferns struggle, including bathrooms and hallways
  • Arrives potted and ready to place
  • Suits coastal, Scandi and Japandi interiors
  • A forgiving gift for plant lovers without the green thumb

Where It Lives Best

Let the fronds trail from a high shelf or the top of a bookcase so the shape has room to fall. On a bathroom ledge it brings green to a space that rarely suits a living plant. Style it on a plant stand alongside upright stems for contrast in height, or group it with other pieces from Outdoors In for a layered, garden room feel.

The short of it

The Sword Fern is a 60cm potted faux trailing fern from Artificial Flora, also known as Nephrolepis or fishbone fern. It suits shelves, hanging planters and low-light corners where real greenery struggles, and needs nothing more than an occasional dust. Available at Flux Boutique, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand.
