Cut Flower Care: Keep the water in the vase of your Godetia
"
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 Satin Flower stem under water using a sharp
knife
with each water change. Remove any foliage that may become
submerged after re-cutting to avoid bacterial growth.
Variety note: Somewhat
similar to an
Anemone, Godetia is available with purple, rose, coral, red or white flowers
in 10 stem bunches. Godetia is very sensitive to ethylene gas (normally not a
problem in the home).
Satin Flowers may be available
at your local Garden Center during the spring for planting
outdoors.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your Godetia with
each water change. Floral preservative helps to prevent bacteria
growth and helps feeds your Satin Flower 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.
