Coral and Green Anthurium Stem - 22 Inch

The Story

The Coral & Green Anthurium Stem brings sculptural shape, warm color, and a more design-forward floral moment to an arrangement. The bloom blends coral, peach, blush, and soft green tones, giving it enough color to stand out while still pairing beautifully with softer neutrals and fresh greenery.

Anthuriums are especially useful when a vase needs a stronger shape. The smooth, curved bloom creates a clear focal point, while the angled stem adds movement and helps guide the eye through the arrangement.

This stem works well in contemporary designs, tropical-inspired arrangements, and softer garden-style pairings. Style it with orchids and protea for a bolder look, or layer it with roses, hydrangeas, and ginger stem when the arrangement needs warmth, color, and a more collected floral shape.

The Faux Collection Standard

Our Faux Collection is selected for realistic form, visual impact, and styling versatility. This anthurium features dimensional veining, realistic coloration, and a sculptural bloom shape that captures the look of fresh-cut anthuriums while offering long-lasting beauty and flexibility for styling.

How to Style It

Stem Count:
Style 3–5 stems together for a contemporary anthurium arrangement, or use 1–3 stems as sculptural focal accents within a larger mixed design.

Vase Recommendation:
Best styled in narrow-neck vessels, everyday ceramic vases, glass cylinders, standard opening vases, and larger statement containers where the bloom shape has room to be seen.

Arrangement Role:
Functions as both a focal flower and movement stem. The bloom creates a strong visual point, while the curved shape and flexible stem help add direction and flow through the arrangement.

Pairing Approach:
Pair with orchids, protea, bougainvillea, roses, or hydrangeas depending on the mood of the design. Cleaner pairings will make the anthurium feel more modern, while fuller garden florals will soften the overall arrangement.

Placement Idea:
Style on kitchen islands, dining tables, entry consoles, office shelves, or in statement floral arrangements where the unique bloom shape can be appreciated.

Quick Styling Formula:
Coral anthuriums + cymbidium orchids + white king protea + airy greenery = a sculptural arrangement with warmth, color, and modern floral shape.

Where It Works Best

• Modern ceramic vase arrangements
• Large statement vessel styling
• Kitchen island florals
• Entry console arrangements
• Contemporary dining table designs

Mel’s Styling Take

I love using anthuriums when an arrangement needs one unexpected shape. This colorway is especially helpful because it works with peaches, creams, blush tones, soft greens, and whites. I’d place the bloom slightly off-center and angle it outward so it feels intentional, sculptural, and not tucked too tightly into the arrangement.

Pairs Well With

• White King Protea
• Cymbidium Orchid Stems
• Bougainvillea Stems
• Creamy Blush Lily Lilium Stem 
• Green Calla Leaf Stem

Good to Know

• Synthetic elastomer-style bloom surface gives the flower a more realistic visual finish
• Wired stem can be shaped to adjust the bloom angle
• Strong choice when an arrangement needs a sculptural focal flower
• Coral and green coloring pairs well with warm neutrals, blush tones, and fresh greenery
• Best suited for indoor decorative use

Climate & Care Considerations

This stem performs beautifully in both humid and dry indoor environments, making it a strong choice for homes in desert climates, coastal areas, and more humid regions of the country.

Because the bloom features a synthetic elastomer-style surface that contributes to its realistic appearance, we recommend avoiding prolonged direct sunlight, excessive heat exposure, and outdoor use. This is especially important for softer floral colors such as ivory, cream, blush, pale peach, and soft green, as extended UV exposure may gradually affect coloration over time.

Under normal indoor conditions, this stem is designed to maintain its color, shape, and appearance beautifully for years of enjoyment.

Product Insight

Anthurium stems are commonly used to add sculptural shape, focal interest, and contemporary tropical styling to floral arrangements while pairing beautifully with tropical and traditional blooms.

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.
