{"product_id":"bouquet-of-dried-protea","title":"Bouquet Of Dried Protea","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bouquet of dried protea brings the rugged charm of the South African wild indoors without any of the upkeep. Each faux dried-look stem is crafted to mimic the papery, sun-baked texture of genuine dried protea, from the layered outer bracts to the tightly packed central heads. The warm brown tones run through the whole piece, giving it that gently faded, foraged quality you would expect from stems left to dry naturally over a season. At a height of 60cm, it has enough presence to anchor a display while still slotting neatly into a range of vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe realism comes from the detailed moulding of the plastic, which holds the coarse, woody feel of the real thing while staying sturdy year after year. It works beautifully in a tall stoneware jug on a mantelpiece, tucked into a cluster of neutral ceramics, or mixed with other faux dried grasses and seed heads for a layered, textural arrangement. Pair it with paler wheat tones or deeper rust shades to build depth, or let it stand alone in a slim vase for a pared-back look. The brown palette suits both rustic kitchens and calmer, muted living spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaring for this bouquet of dried protea could not be simpler. There is no water needed and no wilting to worry about, so it keeps its shape indefinitely. Dust occasionally with a soft brush or a gentle shake to keep the texture looking fresh. Keep it away from direct sunlight over long periods to help the brown tones stay rich and even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDried\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it really look like dried protea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the moulded plastic captures the papery bracts and coarse central heads of genuine dried protea, and the brown tones give it a naturally faded, foraged appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I style it with other stems?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt mixes well with faux dried grasses, seed heads and pampas in neutral or rust shades.
