Pin Cushion Flower

Preparation

• Trimming Stems: Trim 1-2 inches from the stems at a 45-degree angle with clean scissors or shears to enhance water absorption.
• Remove Foliage: Remove any leaves that may be submerged in water to prevent 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 when it appears cloudy.
• Flower Food: Add floral preservative or flower food to the water to nourish the pin cushion flowers and extend their freshness.

Placement

• Ideal Location: Keep the vase in a cool area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts for optimal longevity.
• Ethylene Sensitivity: Avoid placing pin cushion flowers near ripening fruits, as they release ethylene gas that can cause wilting.

Longevity Tip

• Maximizing Vase Life: Re-trim the stems every few days and remove any wilted blooms to maintain a vibrant arrangement.
