Tropical Flower Care: Keep the water in the vase of your "Red
Sunset" Leucospermum 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 Leucospermum stem under water using
a sharp knife with each water change. Remove any foliage
that may become submerged after re-cutting.
Variety note: This very colorful
pincushion is know as 'Red Sunset'. As the flower ages the needle
like petals
will develop a reddish tint. Leucospermum Red Sunset can be used
as a focal point or a medium mass flower. They are usually sold by
the stem.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your "Red Sunset" with each water change. Floral preservative helps to
prevent bacteria growth and helps nourish your Pincushion
Leucospermum 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.
