Care Using Water
Steps:
1. Cut a stem, remove the leaves and dip it in warm water for 5 seconds so that the latex sap flows.
2. Next, dip the stem in a vase with cold water mixed with flower food to cauterize it and stop the sap from flowing.
3. Add a stem of red berries for "instant Christmas" decor and place it wherever you want to introduce holiday cheer!
Care Using Flame
Steps:
1. Cut a stem.
2. Run the bottom of the stem over a gentle flame for a few seconds.
3. Insert the stem into a floral water tube that I've covered with fabric and tie unto a gift package or use as a place setting.
Tips to keep in mind:
• Temps should be between 65-75 degrees. Never under 50 degrees!
• Bright room, no direct sunlight
• Water - keep the soil feeling slightly moist but never saturated.
• No drafts or heater vents.
