Green Olive Leaf Spray - 35 Inch

The Story

Soft sage-green leaves and naturally scattered olives give this branch the quiet character of freshly cut olive foliage. The leaves feature subtle variations in tone, with silvery undersides and muted green faces that catch light differently as the branches are shaped, creating depth without relying on bold color. Small olives are tucked naturally throughout the stem, adding another layer of realism and making the branch feel gathered directly from a mature olive tree.

Its branching habit feels loose and organic rather than overly full, allowing each stem to spread naturally inside a vase. Whether used as the primary botanical or mixed with flowering stems, it brings freshness, softness, and balance while allowing surrounding florals to remain the focal point. The restrained color palette and natural movement make it a greenery that feels equally at home in spring, summer, autumn, winter, and holiday arrangements.

Provides soft botanical texture while creating natural fullness and supporting focal flowers throughout an arrangement.

Our Standard Faux Collection is selected for realistic color, dependable durability, and natural botanical character.

Vase Recommendation: Everyday, Statement, Narrow Neck, Standard Opening, and Wide Mouth vases.

Arrangement Role: Filler and texture stem.

Pairing Approach: Pairs well with white hydrangeas, olive branches, magnolia stems, ranunculus, peonies, orchids, eucalyptus, and flowering branches.

Placement Idea: Entry consoles, coffee tables, dining tables, kitchen islands, bookshelves, office shelving, and fireplace mantels.

Quick Styling Formula: 3 Green Olive Leaf Spray - 35 Inch + 3 Cream True Bloom Real Touch Distant Drum Rose Stem - 20 Inch + 2 Green Round Eucalyptus Stem - 32 Inch + 1 White True Bloom Real Touch Hydrangea Stem - 20 Inch = a relaxed, Mediterranean-leaning year-round vase: sage olive, creamy roses, and soft rounded greens. Set the olive sprays first, the tallest off-center at about 1.5× the vase height, with the other two stepping down. Place the three cream roses 2–4″ lower and forward. Let the round eucalyptus fall out on both sides at uneven heights, then set the white hydrangea low at the rim.

Where It Works Best

• Entry consoles
• Kitchen islands
• Dining tables
• Coffee tables
• Bookshelves
• Fireplace mantels
• Office shelving

Mel's Styling Take

Olive is one of my go-to greens when I want an arrangement to feel relaxed instead of stiff. I’d start with it as your base, letting the branches open out and fall a little over the rim, then work your flowers into it. It softens big shapes like roses and hydrangea, ties different stems together, and gives you that easy, lived-in look you see in really well-styled homes.

Pairs Well With

• White Hydrangea
• White Ranunculus
• Buttercream Cymbidium Orchid
• Green Aspen Branch
• Mixed Eucalyptus Bundle

Good to Know

• Wired branches shape easily for a more natural appearance.
• Lightweight foliage makes layering simple without overwhelming an arrangement.
• Suitable for year-round decorating.

Questions & Answers

Is it Real Touch?
No. This is our Standard Faux olive, with a traditional faux leaf finish and scattered olives, made to be the airy, natural-looking greenery around Real Touch blooms. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth.

Does it have olives on it?
Yes. Small olives are scattered along the 35-inch spray among soft sage-green leaves for a natural, just-cut look.

How many sprays do I need?
Two to four sprays work as greenery in a mixed arrangement; five to eight make a full olive-only vase or an oversized statement piece. The wired stem bends to shape.

Climate & Care Considerations

This faux olive leaf spray is intended primarily for indoor decorative use and performs well in most climate-controlled home environments, including both dry and moderately humid regions.

To help preserve the color, finish, and shape of the foliage, avoid placing the stem in prolonged direct sunlight or close to strong heat sources such as fireplaces, radiators, heating vents, or windows that receive intense afternoon sun. Long-term exposure to heat and ultraviolet light may gradually affect the original coloration.

The stem should also be kept away from direct moisture, damp storage areas, and extended outdoor humidity. Covered outdoor use may still expose the materials to condensation, temperature changes, and moisture in the air, so this stem is best kept indoors unless specifically styled outside for a short, protected occasion.

For routine care, remove dust with a soft, dry cloth or a gentle burst of cool air. Avoid wet cleaning products, soaking, or spraying the foliage directly. When storing the stem, place it loosely inside a dry container so the branching remains open and the leaves are not compressed.

Care & Maintenance

You chose stems that last. Here’s how to make sure they do.

Faux florals are low maintenance, but not no maintenance. A little intentional care goes a long way toward keeping your stems looking the way they did the day they arrived.

Think of this page as your go-to resource. Bookmark it, come back to it, and use it whenever your arrangements need a refresh.

Every stem is chosen with intention — so it works in your home, not just in a vase.

First Things First: Know Your Stems

Not all faux florals are cared for the same way. True Bloom Floral carries three tiers, each with slightly different needs.

True Bloom stems
Our highest tier. Premium real touch stems with detailed surface coatings. Handle gently and keep completely dry.

Real Touch stems
Soft, natural-feeling stems. Clean gently using dry methods or a lightly damp cloth for spot cleaning.

Standard faux stems (including filler)
More forgiving. Can be cleaned with a damp cloth or mild soap solution when needed.

When in doubt, less is more. Gentle care works for every tier.

Everyday Care: The Four Habits That Matter

1. Dust regularly
Dust dulls color and texture over time. A quick dust every 1–2 weeks keeps stems looking fresh.

2. Keep out of direct sunlight
Bright rooms are fine, but prolonged direct sun will fade colors over time, especially deeper tones.

3. Avoid heat and humidity
Keep stems away from fireplaces, radiators, kitchens, and bathrooms. Heat and moisture can damage materials.

4. Reshape as needed
Real touch stems are flexible. Gently reshape petals or bend wired stems to create natural movement.

Cleaning Your Stems

True Bloom & Real Touch Stems

These require the most careful approach.

What works:

• Soft brush (makeup brush, paintbrush, microfiber cloth)
• Hair dryer on cool, low setting (held at least 12 inches away)
• Gentle shake outdoors
• Lightly damp cloth (Real Touch only, for spot cleaning)

What to avoid:

• Submerging in water
• Harsh cleaners or sprays
• Heat or warm air

Standard Faux & Filler Stems

More flexible and easier to clean.

What works:

• All dry cleaning methods above
• Damp cloth or gentle wipe
• Mild soap solution with cool water
• Salt or cornstarch method (shake in a bag to remove dust)

What to avoid:

• Soaking stems
• Aggressive scrubbing

Reflexing Your Stems

Reflexing is a professional floral technique that opens petals outward to create a fuller, more natural look.

Why reflex?

Stems are packed tightly for shipping. Reflexing opens them up, adds dimension, and transforms the overall look.

Best stems for reflexing:

• Roses
• Peonies
• Tulips
• Gladiolus

How to reflex:

• Work slowly with your fingertips
• Gently bend outer petals backward
• Warm petals slightly between your hands if needed
• Never force anything

A reflexed stem instantly looks more elevated and intentional.

Highly Pigmented Stems

Deep tones like reds, burgundies, and jewel shades may transfer color if pressed against light surfaces for extended periods.

This is normal for richly pigmented materials.

To prevent issues:

• Avoid prolonged contact with light fabrics or surfaces
• Wipe surfaces promptly if transfer occurs
• Give stems space when arranging

Storing Your Stems

How you store your stems matters just as much as how you display them.

• Store upright when possible
• Wrap loosely in tissue paper
• Use a supportive storage box
• Keep in a cool, dry, dark space
• Avoid overpacking

Giving stems space helps preserve their shape and structure.

A Note on Vases

Faux florals don’t create water stains or bacteria, but vase care still matters.

• Dust interiors regularly
• Wipe glass vases to remove smudges
• Use filler (stones or foam) to stabilize arrangements
• If adding water for aesthetics, keep real touch stems above the waterline

How Long Will My Stems Last?

With proper care, True Bloom and Real Touch stems typically last five years or more.

The three biggest factors that shorten their lifespan:

• Direct sunlight
• Dust buildup
• Poor storage

Avoid those, and your arrangements will stay beautiful for years.
