Bird of Paradise Flower

Preparation

• Trimming Stems: Cut 1-2 inches off the stems at a 45-degree angle using clean scissors to facilitate water absorption.
• Remove Foliage: Take off any leaves that would be submerged in the water to prevent bacterial growth.

Watering

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

Placement

• Ideal Location: Keep the vase in a cool area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts for optimal longevity.
• Ethylene Sensitivity: Position the Bird of Paradise away from ripening fruits to avoid exposure to ethylene gas.

Longevity Tip

• Maximizing Vase Life: Re-trim the stems every few days and remove any spent blooms to keep the arrangement looking fresh.
