Trailing & Hanging Plants

Trailing and hanging plants soften a shelf, sill or bracket with greenery that needs no water or light. We hand-pick faux ferns, eucalyptus and trailing designs such as string of pearls, ready to drape from a pot or shelf edge. They bring a little movement to a high or awkward spot where a living plant would struggle. Free UK delivery over £99, and we ship worldwide.

Artificial trailing and hanging plants

We hand-pick artificial trailing and hanging plants that bring soft, draping greenery to a room without watering or light. Faux trailing plants hold their look all year, which makes them a practical choice for a high shelf, a bracket or the top of a cupboard where a living plant would be hard to reach and tend. Our range covers ferns, eucalyptus and trailing designs supplied ready to place.

Faux ferns and eucalyptus

Ferns and eucalyptus give you the fullest, most natural greenery for a trailing look. We stock staghorn and butterfly ferns among others, along with eucalyptus in pots, vases and soil balls, each with the soft foliage that reads well from above and from the side. Their muted greens sit easily against most walls and shelving.

Trailing designs for shelves and brackets

For a true cascade, trailing designs such as string of pearls and hanging cactus spill over the edge of a pot or shelf. Set one on a high surface, a mantel or a floating shelf and let the stems fall to soften a hard line. Because they need no light, you can place them in a spot a real trailing plant would find too dark.

Where trailing plants work

Trailing and hanging plants suit places living greenery finds difficult, from a windowless bathroom to a dim landing or a high shelf that is awkward to water. They are an easy way to add life to a rented space or to fill the gap above a wardrobe or kitchen unit. Group a few at different heights for a fuller, layered look.

Caring for artificial trailing plants

Keep trailing designs looking their best with an occasional dust, using a soft, dry cloth or a hairdryer on a cool setting for finer foliage. Keep them out of long spells of strong, direct sunlight, which can fade any artificial plant over time. Gently separate and reshape the stems after unboxing so they fall in a natural line.

Faux and fake trailing plants explained

Faux, fake and artificial all describe the same thing, a plant made from fabric, plastic or similar materials rather than a living one. Better trailing designs use moulded leaves and printed detailing to mimic the real plant closely, down to the colour shifts along each stem. Each product page describes the design and shows the trailing length so you know what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do artificial trailing plants look realistic?
Better designs use moulded or fabric leaves with printed detailing and natural colour shifts to closely mimic a living plant. Quality varies by design, so each product page includes photographs and a description of the materials.

Where should I put an artificial trailing plant?
They work well on a high shelf, a mantel, a bracket or the top of a cupboard, anywhere the stems can fall freely. Because they need no light or water, you can place them in dim or hard-to-reach spots too.

Do they come in a pot or basket?
It varies by design. Some arrive potted or in a soil ball ready to set down, while others are supplied as foliage for your own pot or hanger. The product page confirms what is included.

How do I clean artificial ferns and trailing foliage?
Dust the leaves gently with a soft, dry cloth, or use a hairdryer on a cool setting for finer foliage. An occasional light clean keeps the greenery looking fresh.

Will they fade in sunlight?
Long spells in strong, direct sunlight can fade any artificial plant over time. Placing them in bright but indirect light helps the colours stay true for longer.
