General
Tropical Flower Care: Keep the water in the vase of your
Red
Pincushion 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 Pin Cushion stem under water using
a sharp knife with each water change. Remove any foliage
that may become submerged after re-cutting.
Variety note: Very similar
to the "Fireworks Pincushion" only a darker shade of
red. Leucospermum Red Pincushion is sold by the stem.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your Red Pincushion with each water change. Floral preservative helps to
prevent bacteria growth and feeds your Pincushion Protea 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.
