{"product_id":"reed-artificial-stem-cream","title":"Reed Artificial Stem - Cream","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis artificial stem rises from a single slender stalk into three branches. Each branch ends in a cluster of long, soft cream plumes that fall in loose tassels, with rounded leaves set along the upper stems. At 70cm tall it is a stem for a tall floor or table vase rather than a small posy for a bud vase. It is made of 80% polyester, 10% iron and 10% polyethylene and weighs just 0.1KG, so it sits happily on a high shelf or a mantelpiece without weighing down a lightweight vase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trailing plumes give it movement, so it looks its best where they can hang over the rim of a vase: on a hall sideboard, a dining table, a bedroom chest of drawers or a living room console. A faux stem needs no watering and never wilts. That makes it a good choice for a room with little daylight, a guest room that is not used every week, or a busy home where fresh flowers would soon be forgotten. On its own it reads quiet and airy. Gathered with other faux stems, it adds height and a soft, falling line to a fuller arrangement, and the cream tone sits comfortably beside linen, pale wood and plaster walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maker asks that it be handled with care, as the leaves and flowerheads can break. The maker also asks that the stem be trimmed and folded into place before use. Trim the stalk to suit the height of your vase first, then ease each branch outwards until the plumes hang as you want them. The styling props shown are not included. For a simple display, stand a single stem in a narrow-necked vase so the branches fan out on their own. For a fuller look, pair it with leafy stems of a similar height and let the cream plumes fall at the front.\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\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80% Polyester, 10% Iron, 10% Polyethylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCream\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.
