Care tips
Trim stems at a sharp angle and place them in clean, lukewarm water immediately upon arrival. Remove the lower leaves to prevent bacterial growth. Re-cut stems and refresh water every 2–3 days to prolong vase life. Keep away from direct sunlight, drafts, and ripening fruits. To stagger bloom time, consider placing stems in slightly cooler temperatures overnight.
