For faux trees, begin by following the included assembly guide. Many trees feature removable, numbered branches that correspond with matching numbers on the trunk. Align each branch with its matching placement and slide it securely into place. When assembled correctly, the tree will have the proper structure and foundation needed for shaping.

Once assembled, shape the tree from the bottom up, gently separating branches and bending stems to create variation in direction and height. For botanicals, carefully fan out leaves, stems, or sprays to restore fullness and movement. Avoid making the arrangement too symmetrical—natural greenery has organic variation, with some branches or stems extending forward, others angled outward, and softer movement throughout.

To keep faux trees and botanicals looking their best, dust leaves, stems, and branches regularly with a soft cloth or duster. Avoid harsh cleaners, excess moisture, or heavy pressure, as these can affect the finish and shape of the piece. After moving or restyling, make small adjustments to refresh the silhouette and maintain a natural appearance.
