Hanging fernery a pretty garden novelty and decor
A California woman conceived the hanging fernery a horticultural novelty that has yielded her profits as visitors brought back examples from tours. A terra cotta pot nearly ten pounds forms the base with moss and ferns wrapped around it. The device can be scaled any size and kept green year round, requiring watering and occasional pruning while avoiding dry spells. It suits table and ceiling displays and adapts to greenhouses, windows, and verandas with decorative appeal.
