Floral Greens Care: Keep the water in the vase of your Plumosa fern
fresh. Replace the water every 3 days with cold water... keeping
the water level near the top of the vase. Re-cut 1/2" from
the base of each stem under water using a sharp knife...
with each water change. Remove any foliage that may become
submerged after re-cutting to avoid bacterial growth.
Variety note: Plumosa
fern is available year round in bunches of 10 stems or more.
Within the floral trade two sizes of Asparagus plumosus is
available, tips and long. Tips are useful when length is not
needed.
This lacey, delicate looking foliage makes an excellent filler
in flower arrangements. Asparagus plumosa is actually related to
the Asparagus spears that we eat. Plumosa Fern is an
easy to grow house plant and is commonly used in outdoor patio
planters.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your Asparagus plumosus with
each water change. Floral preservative helps to prevent bacteria
growth and feeds your floral greens insuring a longer vase life. To
make your own cut flower food mix 1/2 teaspoon of table sugar to a
quart of cold water... mixing thoroughly.
