Shop now ›Artificial ferns and palms bring a tropical layer to rooms and outdoor areas that real specimens rarely tolerate. A faux palm stands in a dark corner or an air-conditioned office all year, and a fern fills a bathroom or shaded courtyard with texture, with no watering or humidity control. Commonly searched as fake palm trees, faux ferns, and artificial palms.
The range covers potted ferns, fern stems and cascades, single and multi-stem palm trees, and larger feature palms, from desk-size plants around 55cm to floor-standing trees.
Ways to Use Artificial Ferns and Palms
- Dark corners and hallways. Palms hold their form in spots with no natural light, where live tropical plants decline within weeks.
- Bathrooms and ensuites. Ferns add softness to wet areas without the mould and drainage issues potted live plants bring indoors.
- Office and reception greenery. Feature palms in foyers and breakout areas stay presentation-ready with zero plant maintenance contracts.
- Poolside and alfresco. UV-rated palms and ferns build a resort feel around pools and decks without dropped fronds in the water.
- Layering a green wall. Fern stems tuck into a green wall or planter arrangement to add depth and a tropical read.
- Hospitality fitouts. Cafes, bars, and restaurants use palms to zone seating and dress windows with a consistent look year-round.
What Is in the Range
- Potted ferns. Ready-to-place plants such as the potted fishtail fern (55cm) for shelves, desks, and benchtops.
- Fern stems and bushes. Boston, bracken, and mixed fern foliage for planters, arrangements, and green wall detailing.
- Multi-stem palms. Compact palms with layered trunks for corners, entries, and either side of a doorway.
- Feature palm trees. Taller statement palms for foyers, living rooms, and commercial spaces.
- UV-rated outdoor stock. Selected ferns and palms rated for direct sun on balconies, courtyards, and pool areas.
Placement Basics
Weight the pot
Floor-standing palms sit steadier in a decorative pot with sand or pebbles added around the base. The pot range covers sizes for every tree in the collection, sized roughly 30 percent of the plant height.
Shape the fronds
Fronds arrive folded for transit. Bend each one outward and downward from the stem so the canopy opens naturally, and vary the angles rather than spacing them evenly.
Check UV rating for sun
Only stock marked UV-rated belongs in direct sun. Standard ferns and palms suit indoor and fully covered positions.
Common Add-Ons
Ferns and palms pair with pots and planters for a finished floor presence, UV protectant spray as an annual surface layer on outdoor stock, and hanging ferns for overhead layers in the same foliage family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these the same as fake palm trees or faux ferns?
Yes. Fake palm trees, faux ferns, and artificial palms all describe this range, which covers potted ferns, fern stems, and palm trees from desk size to feature height.
Can artificial palms go outside?
UV-rated palms and ferns are made for outdoor use and are SGS-tested to 5,000 hours of accelerated UV exposure. Standard stock suits indoor and covered positions only, so check the product page before placing a plant in direct sun.
Do the palms come with a pot?
Most ferns and palms arrive in a plastic starter pot that drops straight into a decorative planter. Sizing the outer pot at roughly 30 percent of the plant height keeps the proportions right.
How do I make a faux palm look real?
Shape the fronds outward and downward at varied angles, sit the plant in a quality pot, and position it where a real palm would plausibly grow. Grouping a palm with smaller plants at its base also lifts realism.
Will fronds fade or droop over time?
Indoors, the foliage holds colour and shape for years. Outdoors, UV-rated stock is built for Australian sun, and an annual coat of UV protectant spray adds a further surface layer on exposed positions.
Are artificial ferns suitable for bathrooms?
Yes. Humidity does not affect the foliage, which makes ferns a practical fit for bathrooms, ensuites, and laundries where live plants struggle or promote mould.
How do I clean them?
A light dust or a wipe with a damp cloth keeps indoor plants fresh. Outdoor stock rinses off with a hose, and an artificial plant cleaner spray handles built-up grime.
Are they safe around pets and children?
The plants carry no pollen and shed no foliage, which makes them a practical choice for households with pets, children, or allergy sufferers, and for real palms whose fronds can be sharp.
Is wholesale pricing available?
Yes. Interior stylists, fitout companies, and hospitality groups order palms and ferns in volume, and wholesale pricing is available for commercial and trade orders on application.
What is the warranty and delivery?
All products carry a 12-month warranty, with UV-rated stock backed by SGS 5,000-hour UV certification. Delivery is free Australia-wide on qualifying orders from the Braeside, Victoria warehouse.
