Filler Flower Care: Keep the water in the vase of your Hypericum
berries fresh. Replace the water every 3rd day with cold water keeping
the water level near the top of the vase. Re-cut 1/2" from
the base of each Hypericum stem under water using a sharp
knife
with each water change. Remove any foliage that may become
submerged after re-cutting to help prevent bacterial growth.
Variety note: There
are many varieties of Hypericum existing in the floral trade. Some
Hypericum is used for their colorful berries, while others are used for the
beautiful foliage. Berried varieties are considered a medium
filler flower and are available in green,
yellow, pink, peach, several shades of red, white and burgundy.
Hypericum is available year round and sold in 10 stem bunches.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your Hypericum with
each water change. Floral preservative helps to prevent bacteria
growth and feeds your Hypericum berries helping to insure a longer vase life.
If you run out of commercial flower preservative you can
make your own fresh cut flower food mix 1/2 teaspoon of table sugar to a
quart of cold water... mixing thoroughly.
