Common options include chrysanthemum (mum) bunches, eucalyptus stems or trees, sunflower stems or bushes, bead grass, and sedum stems.
Faux fall stems are commonly made from polyester, plastic, and wire. Some styles also use silk fabric and iron wire for added structure and realism.
Many faux stems have a wire or iron-wire core that makes them flexible and bendable for shaping. They can usually be trimmed to fit vase height or arranged to achieve the desired silhouette.
Care is minimal: faux stems require no watering or pruning. To maintain color and remove dust, wipe gently with a soft cloth or use a duster on a regular basis.
Some faux stems are labeled for indoor use while others are specified for sheltered outdoor use. Always check the product listing for the recommended placement.
Some sets include vases or pots—for example, a chrysanthemum set may come with two white vases, and certain eucalyptus options are shown with a plastic pot.
