In a preferred embodiment is a stem that connects the leaves of a simulation plant to the plant simulation decorative cloth. The stem is a connector that is comprised of metal wire or wires and a fabric covering, for example cotton. The combination of these materials gives the stem a unique physical property of being flexible yet elastic. This is exhibited in the way it gives the leaves a life-like realism effect in the way the leaves shake and/or move upon any disturbance. The stem can be sewn or glued onto the cloth, by machine. If sewn onto the cloth, the extended part of the stem's cotton fabric covering is sewn onto the cloth. The metal wire can be copper or aluminum or iron or titanium or copper alloy or brass, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, with a cross-sectional area of 1.5, or 2.5, or 4, or 6 square millimeter. Other unique properties of the stem are that it is more slender than stems without the present invention's metal wire; the stem has a better stereoscopic effect than stems without the present invention's metal wire for supporting the standing of the plant; the plant stem can flexibly bend or be set at different angles according to a user's requirements, and then return elastically to its original position; and the leaves can swing slightly so that the simulation plant looks life-like.
This embodiment is illustrated by FIG. 3 wherein the stem which is comprised of metal wires and wrapped in fabric, connects the simulation leaf to the simulation decorative cloth.
