Description
Our Lilac Cymbidium Spray brings the graceful arch of an orchid stem into your home without the fuss of keeping a real plant alive. This artificial flower stem carries a run of open blooms along its length, each petal moulded and hand-finished in soft shades of purple with the subtle veining and creamy throat markings you would expect from a genuine cymbidium. The faux flowers catch the light in the same gentle way real orchids do, and the layered petals give the spray a natural depth rather than a flat, obviously fake look.
Standing 95cm tall with a width of 24cm, the lilac cymbidium spray has real presence in a tall vase or floor jar. The stem is bendable, so you can adjust the curve of the arch to suit your setting and encourage the blooms to fall in a soft, cascading line. It works well on its own for a pared-back look, or you can mix it into displays with foliage, pampas or a few contrasting stems for a fuller arrangement. Try it in a hallway, on a mantelpiece or as a quiet centrepiece on a dining table where fresh flowers might not last.
Because it is made from plastic, there is no water to change and no wilting to worry about. Simply dust the petals and leaves occasionally with a soft cloth or a gentle brush to keep the colour looking fresh. Position it away from prolonged direct sunlight to help the purple tones stay true over time, and reshape the stem whenever you fancy a different look.

Frequently Asked
Does it really look like a fresh orchid?
Yes. The petals are shaped and finished with realistic veining and throat markings, and the soft purple shading gives the blooms a natural quality that reads convincingly from across a room and up close.
How do I style it in a vase?
It suits a tall vase or floor jar on its own, or you can mix it with foliage and other stems for a fuller display. The arch of blooms looks best when allowed to fall to one side.
How do I clean it?
Dust the petals and leaves now and then with a soft cloth or a gentle brush. For heavier build-up, a light wipe with a barely damp cloth is fine, then leave it to dry.
Does it need water?
No. This is an artificial flower stem, so there is no watering, feeding or wilting to manage. Just set it in place and reshape as you like.
Will it shed or fade?
The blooms are securely attached and will not drop like fresh flowers. To keep the purple looking its best, keep it out of strong, prolonged direct sunlight.
