[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_toggle title="What is stabilization ?" open="false"]

Stabilization of plants is a unique, 100% natural, and eco-friendly process that offers numerous benefits and allows you to enjoy the beauty of nature without the hassle. Please visit our dedicated stabilization page by following this link.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="What product ranges does Phocealys offer ?" open="false"]

As an expert in stabilized plants and dried flowers, Phocealys has assembled over 1,500 references on this wholesale platform aimed at professionals in plant decoration to allow creative freedom.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="How are the products listed on the Phocealys e-commerce platform sourced ?" open="false"]

Concerned with the quality and traceability of our products, we have developed our range of stabilized plants and dried flowers in partnership mainly with 9 producers based in France, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands who share our values.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="What are the conditions for using stabilized products ?" open="false"]

Stabilized products have an estimated lifespan of 5 to 10 years. To preserve them, it is recommended to:

- Use them exclusively indoors

- Handle them carefully

- Avoid direct exposure to light

- Avoid storing them in overly humid places

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Can preserved plants cause stains on indoor surfaces?" open="false"]

It is a possible phenomenon. Preserved plants are dyed during the stabilization process. These dyes may seep out. This depends on the plant species and the humidity level in the air. While rare, it can happen. As a precaution, Phocealys therefore recommends not placing preserved plants directly against walls or any other surfaces, especially if the surface is light-colored.
If such a phenomenon occurs by accident, clean the affected area promptly using a sponge and clear water. The quicker the response, the more effective it will be.
Phocealys cannot be held responsible for any color transfer resulting from contact between preserved plants and a surface.
