A dark corner table or a sunless bathroom shelf is a hard spot for ordinary greenery. These rare underwater fronds come harvested from the floor of the English Channel and dried so they stay green indoors without potting soil or a single drop of water. We have kept them in the Miles Kimball catalog for years.

Needs no watering

Set the fronds in an empty glass jar or ceramic cup without any dirt. The plant draws what it needs right from the household air, so nobody has to remember the watering can.

Grown in deep water

Harvested from the seabed of the English Channel, this natural sea plant keeps its deep green color year after year. It stays fresh in the dry air of a heated living room.

Indoor table display

Keep the set indoors where sudden rain cannot soak the leaves. It fills out a small pottery vase on a work desk, an entryway table, or a high bookshelf that gets little natural light.

Slow natural growth

Tuck the pieces into your own container straight from the box. Over time in a quiet spot, the dried fronds show a bit of slow, steady growth without feeding or misting.
