Floral Greens Care: Keep the water in the vase of your Baby Eucalyptus fresh. Replace the water every 3 days with
cold water keeping the water level near the top of the vase.
Re-cut 1/2" from the base of each stem under water using
a sharp knife with each water change. Remove any foliage
that may become submerged after re-cutting to prevent bacterial
growth.
Variety note: Baby
Eucalyptus is perhaps the most popular and widely used Eucalyptus.
The silvery-gray foliage can be used as a filler in fresh
arrangements or dried for dry arrangements or used in potpourri.
Baby Eucalyptus has a distinctive Eucalyptus fragrance.
Common names include:
Silver Dollar Gum, Spiral Eucalyptus and Baby Eucalyptus.
There are literally dozens of Eucalyptus cultivars available
within the floral trade, with most varieties exhibiting a distinct
Eucalyptus aroma. Most varieties of Eucalyptus are sold as a
10 stem bunch.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your Baby Eucalyptus with
each water change. Floral preservative helps to prevent bacteria
growth and feeds your flowers insuring a longer vase life.
To
make your own cut flower food mix 1/2 teaspoon of table sugar to a
quart of cold water... mixing thoroughly.
