Ferns have a quiet kind of magic about them — soft, flowy, and timeless. These ancient plants have been around for thousands of years, long before flowers existed, and they grow in such a fascinating way. Instead of producing seeds, ferns reproduce through spores, and their leafy fronds unfurl slowly as they grow, creating that signature layered look we love. That gentle movement and cozy, shaded charm inspired this hanging fern design, capturing the beauty of real greenery without the need for sunlight or watering. 🌿
