Flower Care Baby Blue Eucalyptus:
True blue eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) cut flowers are beautiful and aromatic additions to any floral arrangement, but like most cut greenery, they need a little care to maintain their freshness. Here are some care tips to help keep your eucalyptus vibrant.
By following these simple care tips, your cut Baby Blue Eucalyptus will stay lush and vibrant, adding a unique, aromatic touch to your floral arrangements. The soft silvery-green leaves are not only beautiful but also help to complement and enhance other flowers in the bouquet.
1. Trim the Stems
- Before placing eucalyptus in water, trim the stems at a 45-degree angle, about 1–2 inches from the bottom. This increases surface area for water absorption. If the stems are woody, you can gently crush the ends with a hammer to help them drink more effectively. Make sure to remove any rubber bands or plastic sleeves/paper around the bunches.
2. Use Clean Water
- Fill a clean vase with fresh, lukewarm water. Make sure to change the water every 2–3 days to prevent bacteria buildup, which can shorten the life of your eucalyptus.
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.
