What is aralia?

Aralia, also known as Angel Tree or Indian Ginseng, is a shrub native to Asia and Australia with lush green foliage. Its large, bipinnate leaves bring a touch of the tropics to any room, filling it with life and freshness.

Fresh Aralia has a soft, velvety texture and thick, tough leaves. Its fragrance is faint and pleasant, reminiscent of citrus and fresh herbs. Aralia’s appearance is truly striking, with deep green leaves that shimmer in the light and long, flexible stems that can be used to create a variety of decorative shapes.

Preserved Aralia leaf retains the natural essence of the plant, but with improved shelf-life. Through a stabilisation process, it stands the test of time and retains its shape, colour and texture for years.

To the eye, the preserved Aralia leaf is virtually indistinguishable from the fresh leaf. The leaves retain their shape and deep green colour, bringing the same touch of tropical nature to the decoration. To the touch, the texture is slightly firmer, but still soft and pleasant. The fragrance is more subtle than that of the fresh Aralia leaf, but retains the citrus and planty notes that characterise it.

Preserved Aralia Leaf is an ideal choice for those who want to decorate their homes with tropical greenery without worrying about wilting. It is perfect for creating long-lasting floral arrangements, eye-catching centrepieces or even for incorporating small decorative details into furniture and special corners.

Durability of Aralia

With proper care, fresh Aralia stems can last up to 2 weeks in ideal conditions, which is sufficient for some occasions, but this requires water and special care.

Once preserved, Aralia can last for years and requires no maintenance other than avoiding damaging stem conditions. This is why preserved Aralia can be particularly useful for those looking for a versatile and long-lasting decorative option that can add a touch of nature and elegance to any room.

How to keep the preserved Aralia in good condition?

• Avoid any action that may crush, press or bend foliage, petals and flowers.
• Avoid direct or indirect exposure to sunlight.
• Avoid the presence of intense sources of indirect light, including those behind glass or similar surfaces.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to environments with humidity levels above 50%.
• Avoid continuous exposure to temperatures exceeding 30°C.
• The use of these elements is recommended for indoor use only.

For which professionals is it useful?

Professionals dedicated to decorating environments where constant aesthetics are crucial can make the most of it, as it can last without frequent intervention. It is a very adaptable trunk that can be used in both modern and traditional styles of decoration, making it suitable for many different situations.

Interior designers working with hotels, shops, restaurants and the like, and event organisers are some of the professionals who can take advantage of it.

Production and preservation process

1. Selection and preparation: We carefully select the Aralia stems to ensure they are in optimum condition.
2. Preservative treatment: The preservative and colorant (50% glycerin + water + colorants) are applied by the absorption method, immersing the lower part of the stems in the liquid. After 24 to 36 hours, when the preservative is completely absorbed, the product can go to the next stage.
3. Drying: The product enters the drying station at a higher temperature and lower percentage of ambient humidity where it remains for 24 to 48 hours.
4. Inspection and packaging: Finally, we remove damaged and wilted leaves and select only the best, healthiest, most attractive stems and carefully package them to protect them during transportation and storage.
