Floral Greens Care: Keep the water in the vase of your Seeded
Eucalyptus fresh. Replace the water every 3 days with cold water
maintaining the water level near the top of the vase. Re-cut
1/2" from the base of each Seeded Eucalyptus stem under water using a
sharp knife with each water change. Remove any foliage
that may become submerged after re-cutting to avoid bacteria
growth.
Variety note: Pronounced
(yew-ka-lip-tus) The pictured floral green is called Naked Seeded
Eucalyptus. Its leaves have been removed exposing the small seed
pods. This exotic floral green adds texture to any arrangement.
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 Seeded 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.
