Tropical Flowers Care: Keep the water in the vase of your
Pink
Mink 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 Pink Mink stem under water using
a sharp knife with each water change. Remove any foliage
that may become submerged after re-cutting.
Variety note: Pink
Mink is the best known Protea of the feather types. These
unusual flowers are named after the Greek God Proteus, the God
of the Sea. The flowers name is referring to its need for a lot
of water. The flower dries very well and can be recycled into
dried arrangements. Pink Mink Proteas are sold by the stem.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your Pink Mink Protea with each water change. Floral preservative helps to
prevent bacterial outbreaks, keeps the water clear and feeds your flowers
and foliages 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.
