Aralia (Fatsia japonica) – The Architectural Heart of Greenery
Aralia is a cornerstone of our designs at KvětinyExpres.cz. This evergreen plant, native to Japan, is prized by florists for its large, palmate-lobed leaves with a distinct gloss. It is a structural powerhouse that instantly adds volume, texture, and a high-end feel to any arrangement.
Appearance and Floristry Role: The leaves of the Aralia have a unique, graphic shape resembling an open palm. Their deep green color and leathery texture provide a perfect foil for delicate flower petals. In our bouquets, Aralia acts as a natural frame or "pedestal," visually pushing the main blooms into the spotlight.
Versatility and Longevity: Aralia is incredibly hardy. It stays fresh in a vase for over two weeks, making it the ideal greenery for luxury bouquets as well as funeral flowers and wreaths, where it provides a dignified and stable foundation.
Florist Andrea’s Tip: "Aralia is my go-to greenery for large, modern arrangements. I love using it as an elegant 'collar' for rose bouquets. The dark, glossy leaf serves as a perfect backdrop that makes the flower colors pop. At KvětinyExpres.cz, we guarantee A1 quality—every leaf is hand-cleaned to maintain its mirror-like shine."
✦ Vase Care: Simply trim the stem diagonally and provide plenty of fresh water. If the leaves lose their luster, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth will restore their natural glow.
