Has anyone had experience with this brand...NEARLY NATURAL?      I am considering a boston fern that will get some decent sunlight...did the color hold true for a couple of years?  thanks

I love the brand. I have the Christmas tree, bushes in my front yard, and a sphere at my entrance way.  I love them and yes, they stay looking like new. Just make sure you get the UV plants or flowers. They hold up outside.

The first thing I got was the Christmas tree. When I first took it out of the box, I was disappointed. It looked terrible. I then researched and read you have to pull it apart and kind of mold it with your hands. It was like magic. It is so beautiful.

It is the same with the small bushes as well. Just take your time and play with them and you will be so happy.

@manny2    Thanks, I want two of the ferns and so does a friend..I don't what her to be disappointed if I sort of nudge her to buy them and she has to replace in 2 years.

You are going to love the brand. But please take the time to pull apart and mold. It makes all the difference. You can’t tell they are artificial unless you touch them. Enjoy! @Mom2Dogs

@manny2   I called customer service, they said I should only expect 2-3 years of life from the faux plants.  For the price I would have thought they would last longer than that.  Have you had your plants for quite a while?

They are being honest with you, I have tried a variety of artificial Boston Ferns and none have held up much more than a season with my bright, hot, full sun here in western PA.

@We rescue cats   I might as well buy real for the price difference if I only wll get a year two at best...thanks for the feedback.

I have had mine for just about three years, and they still look the same. I think they just give you that 2-3 year because of the conditions. It really depends on where you live. If conditions are really harsh I’m sure they have a shorter life.  

I expect to get at least five years out of them. The tree is indoors, so it will last forever. @Mom2Dogs

Make sure you get the uv protected. That makes the difference. @Mom2Dogs

I have a fiscus from Nearly Natural since the lockdown.  It looks exactly the same and it gets hit with sun that shines in my apartment all day. 

It looks exactly the same as when I received it.

I bought 2 other trees from Michael's and they also look pretty good. No fading either.

The Nearly Natural looks more authentic.
