1. Trim the Stems

• Cut at an Angle: Use sharp, clean scissors or a floral knife to trim the stems about 1-2 inches from the bottom at a 45-degree angle. This increases the surface area for water absorption. Make sure to remove any rubber bands or plastic sleeves/paper around the bunches.
• Underwater Cutting: If possible, cut the stems underwater or immediately place them in water after cutting. This prevents air from entering the stems, which can block water uptake.

2. Place in Fresh Water

• Clean Vase: Fill a clean vase with fresh, lukewarm water (not too hot or cold). Lukewarm water is ideal for encouraging quick hydration.
• Add Flower Food: If you have a packet of flower food, mix it into the water according to the instructions. While not essential for eucalyptus, flower food can help keep the water clean and prevent bacterial growth.

3. Keep the Water Clean

• Change Water Regularly: Silver Dollar Eucalyptus can drink a lot of water, so it’s important to change the water every 2-3 days to keep it fresh and free of bacteria. When you change the water, trim the stems slightly to maintain optimal water absorption.
• Clean the Vase: Make sure to wash the vase thoroughly every time you change the water to avoid any bacterial buildup.

4. Remove Any Submerged Foliage

• Prevent Bacterial Growth: Gently remove any leaves or foliage that will be submerged in the water. This keeps the water cleaner for longer and helps prevent bacteria from growing.

5. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat

• Cool, Shaded Spot: Place your Silver Dollar Eucalyptus in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts. Too much heat can cause the leaves to dry out and fade more quickly.

6. Avoid Overcrowding in the Vase

• Proper Spacing: Silver Dollar Eucalyptus tends to have large, round leaves, so make sure your vase isn’t too crowded. This allows proper air circulation and ensures the stems don’t rub against each other, which can cause damage.

7. Remove Wilted or Damaged Stems

• Prune as Needed: If any stems or leaves begin to wilt or discolor, remove them to keep the arrangement looking fresh and healthy. This also helps the remaining foliage stay hydrated.

8. Store in a Cool Room

• Maintain a Stable Temperature: Silver Dollar Eucalyptus thrives in cooler temperatures, so avoid placing it near hot appliances or in places with fluctuating temperatures.
