- Can this fern stay outside in the rain?
- It is marked suitable for outdoor use with UV-resistant fronds, so it handles sun and weather better than indoor-only fakes. For the longest life, keep it on a covered porch rather than in constant direct rain and sun.
- Does it come with a pot or hanging basket?
- No. It ships as the fern only, so you supply the basket or planter. The 22-inch spread fits most standard hanging baskets.
- How do I fix bent fronds after unboxing?
- Separate the stems and gently bend each frond back into its arch, working from the base outward. A day or two in place usually lets the leaves relax into shape.
- Is it safe in full sun?
- The UV-resistant treatment slows fading, but harsh all-day sun will still dull it over several seasons. A spot with morning sun and afternoon shade keeps the color longer.
- How does it compare with a live Boston fern?
- A live fern gives truer texture and grows, but needs regular water and humidity. This one keeps a fixed size and needs no care, at the cost of looking artificial up close.
