Description
This is a single artificial eucalyptus stem, 101cm tall, with a long bare lower stem that divides into two leafy branches. Each branch carries long, narrow leaves that curve and droop towards their pointed tips, and the green shifts from leaf to leaf: some are darker with fine pale veining, others lighter and plainer, so the stem reads as a real cutting rather than a flat block of colour. It is made from 90% polyethylene and 10% iron and weighs only 0.054KG, which makes it easy to lift, move and rearrange whenever the mood takes you.
At 101cm tall, this is a stem for a tall vase or a floor vase rather than a small posy jar. Set it in a hallway, on a sideboard or console table, or in the corner of a living room, where the long bare stem lifts the leaves well clear of the rim. It suits anyone who wants greenery in a room without watering it or replacing fresh stems as they wilt, and because a faux stem needs no daylight, it works in darker spots too. Use it to bring loose, trailing foliage into a large arrangement of faux or dried flowers, or let it stand alone for a quiet, natural look.
Before use, the maker asks for the stem to be trimmed and folded into place: cut the bare stem to the height your vase needs, then bend the branches and leaves out into a natural, open fall. Work gently as you go, since the maker advises handling it with care so the leaves do not break. Take a little time over the shaping, because it is what makes a faux stem look grown rather than packed. For styling, one stem in a slim vase gives a spare, airy line, while several gathered in a wide ceramic vase build a fuller, looser display with plenty of movement.

Does it need any preparation before I use it?
Yes. The maker asks for the stem to be trimmed and folded into place before use, so cut it to height and bend the branches and leaves into a natural shape.

Handle it with care, as the maker advises, to avoid breaking the leaves, and be gentle whenever you shape it or move it between vases.
