SO01 is a stemmed sola ball flower with a surprisingly organic, almost seed-head character. Each spherical head is built from a dense mass of fine sola tips, and on the brown version the surface is broken by scattered round hollows that give it a honeycombed, pod-like look. The ivory version is fuller and fluffier, with tightly packed frilled tips and only faint openings between them.
Every head sits on a thin, straight brown stick, so the flowers can go directly into a vase, a foam base or a reed-diffuser bottle without extra wiring. The product images show the two tones mixed in one vase: brown heads carry the arrangement while a few ivory ones lift it, a combination that suits Japandi, rustic and earthy interior schemes.
Like all Floral Mongers sola items, SO01 is handcrafted from sola (shola) pith, a light, spongy plant material that is carved and shaped by skilled artisans in India. Sola absorbs fragrance oils well, which makes these stemmed balls a practical choice for diffuser sets as well as purely decorative bunches.
Buyers can order a single tone or an assorted brown-and-ivory mix. As a sola flower manufacturer in India, we supply these for wholesale, retail repacking and export, with head size and stick length discussed per order.

Natural variation
Because each ball is shaped by hand, the spacing of the hollows, the fullness of the tips and the roundness of the head differ slightly from piece to piece. The sola pith itself also varies naturally in density, so the brown colouring can settle a little lighter or deeper on individual heads. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep in a dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight
- Hold by the stick rather than pressing the head to avoid crushing the tips
- Remove dust with a soft brush or a cool, low hair-dryer setting
- Apply diffuser oils sparingly; heavy saturation can darken the ivory heads
- Store upright or in a rigid box so the heads do not press together
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
