How to Care for your Lisianthus

Trim Stems

  • Cut 1-2" off the bottom of each stem
  • Re-Trim every 2-3 days

Remove Lower Leaves

  • Stip off any leaves that will sit below the waterline in your vase.
  • Leaves in water promote bacterial growth and shorten vase life.

Prepare Fresh Water with Flower Food

  • Use room temp water
  • Replace water every 2 days
  • Clean the vase each time

Bonus Tip

  • Lisianthus are ethylene-sensitive - avoid storing them near produce like apples or bananas, as the gas accelerates wilting.
