Artificial Flower

Faux blooms are sold as single stems, filler branches, and packed bunches, and the first thing to settle is which of those three you actually need.

• Stem length, because a vase looks balanced when the flowers rise about one and a half times its height.
• Petal material: silk-feel fabric, latex-coated real touch, or foam, each with a different finish under light.
• Quantity per order, since many listings price per stem rather than per bunch.

Order one stem first when color accuracy matters, as screen photos rarely match a room's lighting exactly.
