What Is A Diffuser Wood Flower?
A diffuser wood flower is a type of flower handcrafted from sola wood, a lightweight, natural material derived from the Aeschynomene aspera plant, commonly known as tapioca.
Sola wood is ideal for crafting because it is soft, porous, and can be easily shaped into delicate flower forms. The porous nature of sola wood also makes it great for absorbing and slowly releasing the essential oils or fragrance oils from a diffuser, helping to maintain a continuous fragrance flow.
Why Use Wood and Does It Really Work?
Sola wood flowers are highly popular in home decor and aromatherapy for several reasons:
- Eco-friendly: Sola wood is a sustainable material.
- Decorative: These flowers can be shaped into beautiful, intricate designs, adding an aesthetic touch to any room.
- Fragrance diffusion: They effectively disperse the scent from the diffuser for a longer period of time.
Are Diffuser Flowers Really Worth It?
Whether sola wood flowers are worth it depends on your preferences and what you're looking for in a product. Here are some factors to consider when deciding if they’re worth it for you:
Pros:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Sola wood flowers are often beautifully crafted and can add an elegant, natural touch to your space. They come in various shapes and colors, so they can match different home decor styles.
- Long-lasting Fragrance: Because sola wood is highly absorbent, it can effectively diffuse scents for extended periods. Unlike other diffusers, you don't need to constantly replace the flowers—they can continue to release fragrance over time, making them economical in the long run.
- Sustainability: Sola wood is eco-friendly, as it's made from the stems of the Aeschynomene aspera plant, which is grown sustainably. The process of crafting sola wood flowers is also generally low-impact on the environment.
- Customization: Since they are often used in reed diffusers, you can choose the scent you like best and use the flowers with your preferred essential or fragrance oils.
How Do Diffuser Wood Flowers Work
Diffuser flowers work by acting as a vehicle for distributing fragrance from a diffuser liquid, which is a blend of essential oils up the wick and into the wood flowers.
The flower is placed on top of a diffuser bottle filled with essential oils. The flower itself is made from a porous material that can soak up the liquid from the bottle. The absorption process is similar to how reed sticks in a traditional reed diffuser work.
Once the flower absorbs the fragrance oil, it starts to slowly release the scent into the surrounding air. The porous fibers of the flower allow the oils to evaporate gradually, creating a subtle, consistent fragrance in the room.
Do Diffuser Flowers Last?
Because the flower is designed to continuously absorb and release fragrance, the scent can last for weeks. As the fragrance oil is absorbed into the flower, it will slowly release it over time, providing a long-lasting scent without the need for constant attention or upkeep.
In addition to diffusing fragrance, diffuser flowers often serve as a decorative element in your space. They come in various shapes and sizes, making them not only functional but also visually appealing. The flowers are typically designed to look like natural blooms, and they can blend into different home decor styles.
How Are Diffuser Flowers Cared For?
When the fragrance starts to fade, you can replenish the diffuser oil or refresh the scent by adding more fragrance oil to the bottle. The flower will continue to absorb and diffuse the new liquid, extending its use.
