Page HTML - Product Page - Preserved Stems 101
Preserved stems are a distinctive type, and often more preferred type, of "dried" stem that have undergone a multi-step process to maintain the flora's original pliability (flexibility) and shape of its fresh counterpart. This rather complex process imparts preserved stems with the "best of both worlds" between fresh and faux stems - you get the real-deal plant material of fresh stems and the low maintenance and longevity of faux stems!
PRESERVED STEM PROPERTIES:
- 100% Real Plant Stems (not artificial, not silk, not faux)
- Long-Lasting (average 1+ years)
- 100% Water-Less (no water required)
- Flexible + Natural Shape. Preserved stems largely retain the pliability (flexibility) and shape of fresh stems.
- Easy Care, Low Maintenance
- Easy-to-use and gorgeous alternative to both fresh foliage and faux foliage. Preserved stems get the "best of both worlds".
- Handmade + Eco-Friendly + Sustainable
A FEW IMPORTANT BITS TO ALSO KNOW:
- Handmade + Product of Mother Nature. Each stem and bunch will vary naturally in size, shape, and coloring, and may contain minimal natural or blemishes or blemishes from the preservation process. Bunch weights, heights, and/or stem counts provided are approximate.
- Preserved + Colored. Usually contains tint, dye, and/or airbrush. Occasionally, the coloring may rub off or bleed, and so use of a vase or liner is recommended between stems and furniture or important surfaces.
- Humidity. Not recommended in excessively humid environments.
- Water. 100% water-less product and not intended for use in water.
- Shedding. Some shedding is natural and may occur.
- Scent. May contain natural scent and/or scent imparted by the preservation process, which usually fades over time and once aired out. Most recipients welcome scent, but scent may not be as welcome by recipients who are more sensitive to scents.
