What are sola wood flowers?
The flowers I use are made from the root of a plant called aeschynomene aspera, but that’s complicated, so it is also known around the world as sola, shola, and a few other names. They have a cork or foam-y feeling, can be dyed any color, and weigh next to nothing, and can last forever!
Eco-Friendly
The wood used to make these flowers grows so quickly that it is considered a renewable resource & they journey to the US on cargo ships, not planes.
Diverse
With hundreds of flower options available all year round, seasons don’t affect which flowers you can have for your home.
Versatile
Sola wood flowers have the ability to take on nearly any color. This means they can fit into any color palette to perfectly match your home.
Everlasting
Leave your items out year-round, or pack them away & bring them back out each year. They are easy to take care of and can last forever.
Good for Allergies
Sola wood flowers are not scented and don’t shed pollen, which are common sources of allergens. I also use faux greenery & fillers.
Budget-Friendly
While the initial cost is comparable to fresh flowers, you can keep your wood flowers around your house for years.
Caring for wood flowers.
- Do not water the flowers!
- Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid fading colors.
- Dust with a clean paintbrush, or blow dryer on low.
- Flowers can be moved back into place by gently adjusting stems.
- Keep flowers indoors, not exposed to rain or wind.
- Store in an open, breathable container like an unsealed cardboard box.
- Keep flowers away from areas with high humidity.
