Asapalathus Flower

Preparation

• Trimming Stems: Trim 1-2 inches from the stems at a 45-degree angle using clean scissors or shears to enhance water absorption.
• Remove Foliage: Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline to minimize bacterial growth in the vase.

Watering

• Fresh Water: Use a clean vase filled with cool, fresh water. Change the water every 2-3 days, or whenever it looks cloudy.
• Flower Food: Add floral preservative or flower food to the water to nourish the Asapalathus and prolong its freshness.

Placement

• Ideal Location: Place the vase in a cool area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts, as cooler conditions help the flowers last longer.
• Ethylene Sensitivity: Keep Asapalathus flowers away from ripening fruits, as they release ethylene gas, which can cause premature wilting.

Longevity Tip

• Maximizing Vase Life: Re-trim the stems every few days to refresh water uptake and remove any spent blooms to maintain a fresh appearance.
