Tropical Flowers Care: Keep the water in the vase of your
Niobe
Protea fresh. Replace the water every 3 days with cool water keeping the water level near the top of the vase.
Re-cut 1/2" from the base of each Niobe Protea stem under water using
a sharp knife with each water change. Remove any foliage
that may become submerged after re-cutting.
Variety note: The
"Mink" line of Proteas has over 10 varieties of hybrid
and native plants available to the floral trade. These beautiful
flowers dry quite well and can be recycled into dried arrangements.
Niobe Protea is sold by the stem.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your Niobe Protea with each water change. Floral preservative helps to
prevent bacterial growth and feeds your tropical flowers insuring 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.
