The Cascading Fern Vine

What this hanging vine is

The Cascading Fern Vine is a single-piece artificial hanging vine built for shelves, rails, baskets, and wall hooks. The material is plastic with a wire core, so the stem holds a curve once you shape it. Layered fern-like fronds give the vine a full, soft look that reads as foliage from a short distance.

Because the core is bendable wire, you can drape it over a mantel, wind it through a trellis, or let it fall straight from a high shelf. The plastic surface wipes clean and does not need water or light.

Size and pack details

Each pack contains 1 piece. The vine is 39.3 in (100 cm) long and 11.8 in (30 cm) wide. Width varies a little by style, since fuller styles such as green bushy strands spread wider than airy ones.

If you want a denser look, order two or more vines and layer them along the same rail or hook.

Styles to choose from

This vine comes in a range of green styles, so you can match the leaf shape to the room:

• Green fern fronds, light green fern fronds, bright green fern fronds
• Green pine needles, light green pine needles
• Green round leaves, green and yellow round leaves
• Green feathery vine
• Light green moss strands, green moss strands
• Green oval leaves
• Green trailing beads
• Green five-leaf vine, light green five-leaf vine
• Green airy strands, green bushy strands
• Green ivy leaves, green ivy vine, green ivy fronds
• Green leafy vine with roots
• Green fern-like leaves, light green fern-like leaves

Darker greens suit wood tones and warm rooms. Light greens and bright greens stand out against white walls and dark cabinets. Round leaves and trailing beads add a different texture than fern fronds, so mix styles if you want variety along one run.

Where to use it

Hanging vines work in many spots around a home:

• Over a kitchen cabinet or open shelf
• Along a stair rail or balcony rail
• In a hanging basket near a window
• On a wall hook in a bathroom or bedroom
• Wrapped through a trellis, ladder, or arch
• Above a doorway or entry nook

The wire core makes placement simple. Bend the top of the stem into a hook shape, or tie it with clear line or a small clip. Shape the fronds outward after hanging so the vine does not sit flat against the wall.

For a fuller arrangement, group two or three vines at different lengths. Let one fall long and keep the others shorter for depth.

Care and handling

This vine needs no water, no sunlight, and no trimming. Dust it with a dry cloth when it looks dull. A soft cloth works better than a wet one, since water can leave spots on plastic.

If the vine sits in a sunny window for a long time, some fading can occur. Rotate it or move it out of direct sun if you want the color to stay even. When you store it, coil it loosely and keep the fronds from pressing flat for a long period.

A note on look and feel

This is an artificial vine, so the leaves are plastic and the color is even across the piece. Up close you can see the molded leaf shape and the wire inside the stem. From normal viewing distance in a room, the layered fronds read as real foliage. That trade-off is what keeps the vine low care and long lasting.
