Alu Magnetic Flower Test Tube Holder
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Alu Magnetic vase is a magnetic flower holder that puts a single stem anywhere a magnet will stick — refrigerator doors, filing cabinets, the side of a metal lamp nobody thought of as a surface until now. As a fridge flower vase it turns industrial metal into something worth a second glance on the way to the milk, a small improvement most people underestimate until the morning they notice it missing. The glass tube sits in an aluminum mount, offered as a larger tube (1.5 across, six tall) and a compact version (one inch across, three high) — and holds water the way any test tube does, by not leaking. A calla lily, a single lavender stem, a craspedia globe that resembles a small yellow planet against whatever metal you chose. The magnet is permanent. The arrangement is not. That is the entire point. A magnet, a tube, and a single person assembling both at the Chive workshop — the Alu Magnetic has never required a more complicated production method.

A (Mostly) Simple Guide to Cutting Your Flowers
So, you’ve decided to make a floral arrangement. Good for you! Let’s make sure your flowers live long enough to impress someone (even if that someone is just you).
- Start with Clean Scissors: Yes, I know you’re tempted to grab those kitchen scissors you use to cut open snack bags, but at least give them a wash first. Your flowers don’t need a side of Dorito dust, thanks.
- Cut at a 45-Degree Angle: This isn’t geometry class, but cutting the stems at an angle gives them more surface area to drink up water. It’s like giving your flowers a straw instead of expecting them to chug from a bottle.
- Trim Under Water (If You’re Fancy): If you really want to go pro, cut the stems underwater to avoid air bubbles. Sure, it feels a little extra, but your flowers didn’t ask to suffocate.
- Ditch the Underwater Leaves: Strip off any leaves that would sit below the waterline. Unless, of course, you’re into the whole swamp aesthetic.
- Give Them a Fresh Cut if They’ve Been Sitting Out: If your flowers have been out of water for a while, trim the stems again. They need a fresh start—don’t we all?
- Change the Water Regularly: Every couple of days, change the water and give the stems a trim. It’s not that hard, and your flowers will thank you by not dying immediately.
And voilà! You’re now the proud creator of a floral arrangement that might just survive long enough for you to forget to water it. Now go forth and arrange those flowers like the domestic deity you pretend to be on Instagram.
Pro Tip: Keep It Short and Sweet!
When it comes to flower stems, shorter is better. Not only do shorter stems look chic in arrangements, but they also help your blooms last longer. Why? Because the shorter the stem, the less distance water has to travel to keep those petals perky. It’s like giving your flowers a shorter commute—less stress, fewer breakdowns.
Floral Frogs: The Unsung Heroes of Flower Arranging
Sure, you could shove your flowers into a vase and hope for the best, but floral frogs are here to save your arrangement from looking like a botanical car crash. These little spiky, grippy wonders hold stems exactly where you want them—no floral flopping allowed. It’s like giving your flowers a personal stylist, minus the attitude. So go ahead, channel your inner florist, and let the floral frog do the hard work.
