Let me start by saying these Tiyard artificial eucalyptus stems are LEGIT. I was skeptical at first because, come on, how realistic can fake plants really be? But these? These are next-level.

The first thing I noticed when unboxing was how well they were packaged - no bent stems or crushed leaves. Each of the 18 stems is about 14 inches long with 13 leaves, giving you plenty to work with for arrangements.

What blew me away was the texture. They don't have that plasticky feel at all. The leaves have this subtle white powder coating that makes them look freshly picked. My mom actually thought they were real when she visited!

The wired stems are a game-changer. You can bend and shape them however you want - I've used them in vases, wreaths, and even tucked some into my curtain rods for a cute boho touch. They hold their shape perfectly.

Color is a beautiful dusty green that works year-round. I've paired them with peonies for spring, sunflowers for summer, and cranberries for winter decor - always looks stunning.

Only minor complaint? That white powder does have a slight sawdust smell initially, but it fades quickly. And honestly, it's worth it for how realistic they look.

At this price point (especially considering how many you get), these are an absolute steal compared to fresh eucalyptus that would wilt in days. No watering, no sunlight stress - just perfect greenery whenever you need it.

Final verdict? 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting low-maintenance decor that doesn't sacrifice aesthetics. I'll definitely be buying more!
