Do this when you get home
- Cut the stem on a slant, 3 cm. It's hard, so a knife works well.
- Use a taller, heavier vase. The head is heavy and tips easily.
Day to day
- Change the water about every 3 days
- One "bird head" hides several florets. When the first fades, gently tease the next one out with your fingers.
Common questions
Only one floret opened and then it stopped?
