Cut Flower Care: Keep the
water in the vase of your Kangaroo Paw fresh. Replace the water every 3rd
day with cold water keeping the water level near the top of the vase. Re-cut
1/2" from the base of each Kangaroo Paw stem under water using a
sharp knife with each water change.
Variety note: Kangaroo
Paw is available nearly year round in shades shade of burgundy, red,
green and
yellow. Bunches can measure 24" to 30" or more in length with
5 to 10 stems per bunch. The velvety "feet" like flower
buds seem or open randomly throughout the bunch revealing the
Kangaroo Paws very interesting small greenish flowers.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains
your Kangaroo Paw with each water change. Floral
preservative helps to prevent bacteria growth and supplies your
Kangaroo Paw flowers with required nutrients helping to insure a longer vase life.
If you run out of commercial flower preservative you can
make your own fresh cut flower food mix 1/2 teaspoon of table sugar to a
quart of cold water... mixing thoroughly.
