White Moth Orchid, 76cm Real Touch Faux Stem

In stock
Sale price$25.00 Regular price$29.00

An orchid does something no other stem manages: it arches. This one carries nine white blooms along a long curving spray, opening from tight buds at the tip to fully open flowers with a soft green and gold throat, and it holds that arc rather than flopping the way a fresh phalaenopsis does after a fortnight.

The stem runs 76cm, so a single one is enough to fill a tall vase or to sweep sideways out of a low round vessel. The petals have the slightly waxy, pliable feel of the real touch range, which is what stops it reading as plastic from across a room.

Moth orchid is the common name for phalaenopsis, so if you have been searching for a faux phalaenopsis stem, white orchid spray or simply artificial orchid, this is it.

How many stems do I need?

One is genuinely enough for most vases, which is unusual. Two or three in a wide vessel gives you a lush, gallery style arrangement. Any more than that and the arcs start to fight each other.

What sort of vase suits it?

A tall narrow vase reads formal and sculptural. A low round vessel is the more interesting choice, because the stem curves out and down over the rim. Both look right in white, glass or grey stone.

Can I bend it?

Yes. The stem has a wire core, so you can open the curve out, tighten it, or angle the head to face into the room.

Why you will love it

  • Nine white blooms along one long arching spray
  • Soft green and gold throat detail on each open flower
  • Real touch petals with a pliable, slightly waxy feel
  • Long 76cm stem with a wire core that bends and holds
  • One stem fills a vase, which few faux florals can claim

Details

  • Height: 76cm
  • Colour: white with a green and gold centre
  • Blooms: 9 sprays per stem
  • Use: indoor styling
  • Care: dust lightly as needed

Where it lives best

  • A single stem in a tall sculptural vase on a console, treated as the only thing on the surface.
  • Curving out of a low round vessel from our vase collection, which shows the arc off properly.
  • On a bedside table beside a lamp, where it softens the hard edges of books and a clock.
  • In a bathroom, where a real orchid would be perfectly happy but nobody remembers to water it.
  • Paired with magnolia or eucalyptus from the artificial flora range for height and contrast.

Gifting

A single orchid stem with a good vase is a considered gift that does not need to be kept alive, which makes it a kind choice for someone who travels, someone unwell, or a new home. Browse the rest of our faux flowers, or get in touch if you would like an arrangement built to suit a particular vase.

What it comes down to

A 76cm faux white moth orchid stem with nine real touch blooms on a long arching, wire cored spray. Also known as a phalaenopsis, it is one of the few faux stems that fills a vase on its own, and it looks best curving out of a low round vessel where the arc can be seen.
