Potted Deadwood and Fern Ceramic Faux Plant 80cm - Black & White

This potted deadwood and fern faux plant brings a dark, glittering touch to a Halloween display. Bare, twisting branches rise high above wide fern fronds, all finished in black glitter and dotted with clear faceted gems that catch the light. The stems sit in a slim black ceramic bottle printed with a white skeleton hand, its bony fingers reaching up towards the neck as if holding the whole spray in place. It stands about 80cm tall and spreads to around 30cm across and 30cm deep, so it has real height without taking over a table.

That height makes it a natural fit for a hallway console, the end of a sideboard, a mantelpiece or a corner where a Halloween party gathers. With a spread of around 30cm, it also fits a wide windowsill or a deep shelf. The black and white colour scheme works alongside pumpkins, lanterns and other spooky pieces, and the skeleton hand gives guests something to spot up close while the branches read clearly from across the room. As a faux plant it never needs watering or light, and once Halloween is over it can be packed away for next year's display.

The ceramic bottle holds the stems upright and stands on its own, so place it on a flat, level surface away from busy edges where it might be knocked. The glitter finish runs along every branch and frond, and the twigs are fine, so handle them gently when you set it out or put it away. To keep it looking its best, dust the foliage lightly with a soft dry cloth and wipe the ceramic bottle with a damp cloth. We like it best against a pale wall, where the black silhouette and the white skeleton hand stand out sharply, or by the front door to greet trick or treaters.
