Preserved Eucalyptus / Gum
Description
Long leaves ：Soft Cascading Stems & Strong Scent
The preservation process naturally softens the stems, allowing this eucalyptus to create a beautiful cascading and draping effect. Its distinctive long foliage also makes it a popular choice for wreaths and larger floral designs.
This variety naturally has a strong eucalyptus aroma, which can remain quite noticeable after preservation. The preservation process may also alter the character of the original natural scent, so it may smell different from fresh eucalyptus.
Please take extra care when using larger quantities or if you are sensitive to strong scents. We recommend keeping it in a well-ventilated area, particularly when using multiple stems.
Please note : Some stems may appear slightly whitish or powdery — this is a natural feature of Eucalyptus and gives it its beautiful silvery look.
Preserved eucalyptus retain a soft, supple texture allowing them to sway gracefully in the breeze. A perfect filler, they add movement and depth to any arrangement, especially when paired with native blooms. For a fuller appearance, we recommend 2–3 bunches.
Preserved eucalyptus tends to have a flatter shape compared to dried varieties due to its softer finish ( Baby Blue keep the shape the most), but offers a wider range of colours with vibrant tones and excellent colour retention. It also carries more of the eucalyptus scent than dried types.
For the best of both worlds — rich colour and natural volume — we recommend mixing preserved and dried eucalyptus. Dried varieties are not dyed, showcasing natural hues that pair beautifully with any preserved colours. Each bunch is unique and may vary slightly in fullness or shade due to the natural preservation process.

* Please note :
>This product naturally carries a beautiful eucalyptus scent, and its fragrance may undergo slight changes during the preservation process. Typically, plants that naturally have a scent retain some smell after preservation. This is more noticeable initially and gradually diminishes over time. If you are highly sensitive to scents, we recommend choosing dried items over preserved ones. Dried flowers also retain some scent, but it is entirely natural and tends to fade more quickly than preserved flowers.
> Some bunches are more green / red, some are more white, some has larger leaves, some has smaller depending on the stems. Enjoy the nature of natural products.
> As each stem is made from natural materials and individually preserved by hand, slight variations are part of their natural beauty. In rare cases, some stems may gradually release colour or residue over time. We kindly recommend placing them away from direct contact with vases, furniture, walls, and other surfaces to help avoid potential staining.

Bunch Volume, Size & Substitutions
Our dried and preserved flowers are natural products, so no two stems or bunches are exactly alike. Colours, shapes, textures and fullness may vary from the product photos.
🟡Bunch Volume & Stem Count
Where a stem count is specified, please refer to the product details. Otherwise, bunches are prepared based on overall volume rather than an exact number of stems. Product photos provide a guide to their general appearance and fullness.
🟡Stem Length & Size
Product photos are for reference, and actual bunch or bouquet dimensions may vary slightly. We sometimes leave stems longer to give you more flexibility when arranging them. If you need a specific or maximum stem length, such as for hampers or smaller vases, please let us know when ordering. We are happy to trim them where possible.
🟡Flower Substitutions
Each bouquet and arrangement is individually handcrafted. We aim to maintain the overall style, colour palette and value shown in the photos, but some flowers or foliage may be substituted depending on seasonal availability and quality. Any substitutions will be carefully selected to complement the original design and be of equal or greater value. Some flowers may also have wooden or wire stem extensions for additional support or easier arranging.
Lifespan & Care
Our dried and preserved flowers are made from real, natural blooms. While dried flowers retain much of their natural character, preserved flowers are specially treated to maintain softness and flexibility.
Unlike fresh flowers, they require no water and can often be enjoyed for months to years, depending on the flower variety, environment and care.
However, there is no fixed lifespan or guaranteed period of appearance. Colours, textures and shapes may begin changing at any time, and how long flowers remain beautiful is also a matter of personal preference.
Humidity, moisture, direct sunlight and heat can accelerate deterioration, sometimes significantly, and may cause fading, drooping or mould.
For best results, display your flowers indoors in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
