Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your eucalyptus, remove any lower leaves that would fall below the waterline in your vase to prevent bacterial growth. Recut the stems upon arrival and place them in a clean container with room-temperature water mixed with floral preservative if available. Keep the eucalyptus in a cool environment, away from drafts and direct sunlight, to extend its lifespan. Change the water every two days to keep the foliage crisp and fragrant. It is compatible with almost all floral stems, including roses, peonies, and wild grasses.
