Fresh or dried flowers? How to choose the right version

Fresh or dried flowers? How to choose the right version

Our vases are 3D-printed and not waterproof on their own. That is why we offer every shape in two versions, so you get exactly what suits your flowers.

With water tube: for fresh flowers

In this version there is a built-in holder with a plastic tube (Ø 55 x 180 mm, included). This makes the vase waterproof and lets you effortlessly keep a fresh bouquet in it. The tube can be removed for filling and cleaning.

For dried flowers: the open vase

Without the tube the vase is lighter and more affordable, and perfect for dried bouquets, pampas, or a few branches. No water, no maintenance, beautiful for years.

Not sure? Then choose the version with a water tube. You can use it for both fresh and dried flowers, and simply leave out the tube when you choose dried.

Keeping the water tube clean

Refresh the water every two to three days and rinse the tube when you swap bouquets. Just lift the tube out of the vase to do so; the vase itself stays dry and clean. This prevents residue and makes your bouquet last longer.

Still unsure?

Putting fresh flowers on the table or in the kitchen? Choose the version with a water tube. Looking for a maintenance-free accent on a cabinet or windowsill? Then the open vase for dried flowers is exactly right. And if you really can't decide: the water tube works either way, dry or wet.
