Care Tips: Amaryllis as a Cut Flower
To ensure that this beautiful Christmas flower lasts especially long in the vase, here are a few flower care tips. It can stay in the vase for up to 14 days! It helps to regularly change the water. Be careful not to add too much water to the vase, as this can cause the stem to soften.
A cool room temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius is ideal for the Amaryllis. Avoid placing the flower too close to a radiator to prevent the freshly cut stems from curling up from the bottom.
