Cut Flower Care: Keep the water in the vase of your Star of
Bethlehem 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 Star of Bethlehem stem under water using a
sharp knife... with each water change. Remove any foliage
that may become submerged after re-cutting.
Variety note: Star of
Bethlehem is available in two color forms, white and orange.
Orange Star of Bethlehem is called Dubium. The pictured Star of
Beth stems are in a very tight bud
stage. They will open from the bottom of the flower head to the top
bearing white star shaped flowers. Star of Bethlehem is sold in 10
stem bunches.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your Star of Bethlehem
with each water change. Floral preservative helps to prevent
bacteria growth, aids in keeping vase water clear, and feeds your flowers
and foliages insuring 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.
