{"product_id":"reed-artificial-stem-green","title":"Reed Artificial Stem - Green","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reed stem is an artificial stem that rises from a single slender stalk and arches over into long, trailing strands of small green clusters, with fine leaves set between them. It is 132cm tall and 15cm across, which gives it the height to stand well clear of a tall vase and the reach to spill over its rim. It is made from 80% polyethylene, 10% polyester and 10% iron, and at 0.08KG it adds almost no weight to an arrangement, so it sits happily alongside heavier faux flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the strands fall rather than stand, it looks its best where it has room to hang: a vase on a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a deep windowsill or the end of a console table. Mixed into a bunch of faux flowers, it softens the outline, letting green tumble over the rim while the larger blooms sit at the top. It also gathers well into a hand-tied bouquet, where the trailing strands add length and movement beneath the heads of bigger stems. Laid flat along a table or a shelf as a garland, it brings the look of spring greenery to a dinner or a celebration, and, being artificial, it never wilts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maker asks that it be handled with care, since the leaves and flowerheads can break, and that the stem be trimmed and folded into place before use. Iron is a metal that holds a bend, so take a moment to shape the arch and set each strand where it should fall before the stem goes into a vase. Cut the stalk to the height of your vessel with sturdy cutters, leaving enough length for the cascade to clear the rim. Choose a vase with a narrow neck and stand it on a raised surface such as a shelf or mantelpiece, so the strands hang freely; 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\u003e132cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80% Polyethylene, 10% Polyester, 10% 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.
