Do this when you get home
- The stem is woody. Cut 3 cm on a slant, then split the end in a cross.
- Don't use deep water. 5-10 cm is enough.
Day to day
- Change the water about every 3 days
- The leaves blacken before the flower. You can pull the black ones off.
- When you're done changing water, hang it upside down to dry. It makes a handsome dried flower.
Common questions
The leaves turned black?
Protea leaves fail before the flower. Pull off the black ones. The head still looks good.
