{"product_id":"large-green-banksia-serrata-stem","title":"Large Green Banksia Serrata Stem","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis large green Banksia Serrata stem brings the sculptural shape of the Australian native indoors without any of the upkeep. The flower head is formed from dozens of tightly packed florets that fan outwards in a soft cylindrical bloom, giving that familiar bottlebrush texture the species is known for. Set against its own broad, serrated-edge leaves in a matching green, this artificial flower stem holds a fresh, just-picked look that reads convincingly from across a room and stands up well to a closer glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding 65cm tall, it has the presence to fill a floor vase on its own or to anchor a larger arrangement. The head and foliage are moulded in plastic with fine detailing across each floret and leaf, so the surface catches light much like the real plant would. Group three or five stems together for a fuller display, or mix it with paler blooms and trailing greenery to soften the shape. It suits a hallway console, a fireplace hearth or a wide kitchen table, and works equally well in modern rooms and more rustic settings. The single stem is straight and sturdy, easy to trim to sit lower in a vessel if you prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaring for it is simple. There is no water needed, so you can place it anywhere without worrying about spills or wilting. Dust the florets and leaves occasionally with a soft brush or a light shake to keep the colour bright. Kept out of harsh direct sunlight, the green tone stays true for years, and the stem holds its shape season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlower stem\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\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\u003e65cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0cm\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 look like a real Banksia?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
