Description
This is a single artificial eucalyptus stem, 82cm tall and 24cm across, with rounded green leaves along slender side branches and fine clusters of small buds tucked between them. It is made from 80% polyester and 20% polyethylene and weighs only 0.07KG, so it adds height and greenery without bulk. The leaves have a soft, matt surface close to that of real eucalyptus, and the open, airy shape lets light pass through the branches rather than filling a space with a dense mass of foliage.
At 82cm it has the height for a tall floor vase in a hallway or beside a sofa, where a single stem looks deliberate rather than sparse. On a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a deep window sill it works as the green in a mixed arrangement: set it among faux hydrangeas, blossom branches or other artificial flowers and the round leaves soften the outline of the whole display. Because artificial foliage never wilts, it suits the spots where real eucalyptus would struggle, such as a dim landing, a warm living room or a guest bedroom used only now and then, and it looks the same from one season to the next.
Before use, the maker asks that the stem be trimmed and its branches folded into place, so cut it to the height your vase needs and then bend each side branch out until the leaves sit open and even. Handle it gently while you shape it, as the leaves and buds can break if pulled or crushed. The styling props shown are not included. For a fuller, looser display, gather several stems in one wide-mouthed vase and let them lean at slightly different angles.
