fall stems

Most fall stems and faux arrangements are intended for indoor use. Smaller stems are commonly displayed on tabletops, mantels, consoles, and shelves, while larger tree-style or floor arrangements are freestanding on the floor in entryways, living rooms, or dining areas.

They’re commonly made from polyester and various plastics (such as polyethylene/PET). Some stems use silk fabric leaves to create a more lifelike appearance.

Common varieties include chrysanthemums (mums), eucalyptus, plum-leaf arrangements, sedum stems, and evergreen/tree-style faux plants.

Use smaller stems as tabletop centerpieces in vases or small pots—on dining tables, coffee tables, mantels, and entry consoles. Group multiple stems in taller vases for fuller arrangements, or place larger tree-style or free-standing pieces on the floor in entryways, living rooms, bedrooms, hotels, or event spaces.

Some packs are sold with about 20 flowers (often two vases containing 10 of each color, e.g., 10 orange and 10 black). Chrysanthemum flower heads in these listings are roughly 2.75 inches (about 7 cm) in diameter.

Artificial fall stems require very little upkeep—no watering or pruning. Periodic dusting or gentle cleaning will keep them looking fresh.
