{"product_id":"foxtail-artificial-stem-green","title":"Foxtail Artificial Stem - Green","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Foxtail Artificial Stem is a single long stem in polyethylene and iron, standing 107cm tall and 13cm across at its widest point. Near the top, a pair of broad, veined leaves sits beside a spray of beaded tassels that arch outward and fall in loose, trailing strands, so the whole piece reads as one soft curve rather than a straight line. The green carries through the leaves and every beaded strand, and at 0.04KG it weighs next to nothing in the hand, which makes it easy to place exactly where you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts height suits a tall, slender vase or a floor vessel, where the tassels have room to hang past the rim and trail down the side. On a windowsill, a mantelpiece or a sideboard, one stem gives a single vase movement and shape without a full bouquet. It also works as the trailing element in a mixed arrangement of artificial flowers and foliage, softening stiffer heads and upright leaves around it and adding a loose, hanging line that bunches of straight stems lack. Being artificial, it keeps its form through every season, so it suits a hallway, living room or bedroom all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maker's care note asks for a gentle hand, so the leaves and beaded tassels do not break. Before use, the stem needs trimming and the strands need folding into place: cut it to suit the height of your vase, then fold the leaves and tassels until they fall the way you like. Take your time with this step and work gently, since the strands are fine. For the best effect, let the tassels spill forward over the front of the vase and leave them a little space from neighbouring stems so the full cascade can be seen. The styling props shown are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e107cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyethylene, Iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle with care to avoid breakage of the leaves\/flowerheads.
