Make a statement with our tall artificial Polyscias stem. 38 inches tall from stem to tip with numerous, round fleshy leaves. May also be named Peruvian Grape Ivy. No matter what you call it, pretty in tropical settings in tall vases. Polyscias is a native to the South Pacific.
FAQs, cleaning, and designing with tropicals:
- Most faux tropicals like our artificial Polyscias stem are made with combinations of plastic, polyester, and wire
- Artificial stems ship flat, but in most cases bendable into more realistic shapes
- Occasionally dust your stems with a feather duster. You can wash your faux tropicals under running water, held upside down, briefly. Or wipe with a damp cloth. Do not submerge in water.
- The base stems are sometimes thick and wood-like. Trim with sturdy wire cutters
- You’ll want to design your tall tropical stems in tall containers. Clear glass is pretty, but baskets and rustic pottery work well, too
- Tropical foliage works well with tropical flowers. Feel free to create a bouquet
- Now the fun starts. Use as many tropical stems as will fit into your container
- For bouquets, cut, trim, and divide your faux tropicals into smaller parts. Sturdy wire cutters will cut through hard bases
- Consider this simple design rule for arrangements: Use 3, 5, and 7 stems to fill your vase.
- Enjoy!
