Phoenix Flower

Preparation

• Trimming Stems: Trim 1-2 inches off the stems at a 45-degree angle with clean scissors or shears for better 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 with cool, fresh water. Replace the water every 2-3 days or when it becomes cloudy.
• Flower Food: Incorporate floral preservative or flower food into the water to nourish the phoenix flowers and prolong their freshness.

Placement

• Ideal Location: Place the vase in a cool area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts to extend the life of the flowers.
• Ethylene Sensitivity: Keep phoenix flowers away from ripening fruits to avoid premature wilting due to ethylene gas.

Longevity Tip

• Maximizing Vase Life: Regularly re-trim the stems and remove any wilted blooms to maintain a fresh and lively arrangement.
