Roots of the flower Alstroemeria
You get several flowers and buds on each alstroemeria stem. Five stems per bunch; bunches are not split.
Make the most of your vase
Five stems are enough for a medium-sized bouquet. Pairing them with fine foliage brings out the colourful lines.
When they arrive
Recut the stems with a sharp tool. If there is a whitish or pale section at the bottom of a stem, cut it off to help it take up water. Remove leaves that would sit in the water, but leave a few on the stem, as they help it drink. Cut flower food is especially important here, as it helps preserve the colour of the petals. Prolonged contact with the plant can irritate some people's skin, so wash your hands after handling it.
Water and placement
Keep in a cool place, away from heat. Alstroemeria is sensitive to ethylene, a gas released by ripening fruit, so keep it away from the fruit bowl. Remove yellowing leaves and change the water when it turns cloudy.
Choose a vase
A medium vase; branching stems need room to open.
Before arranging
Until you arrange them, keep the stems upright in water. Do not tie the bunch too tightly: the stems are soft and the buds break easily.
Vase life
Alstroemeria is considered a long-lasting flower: usually 7-14 days in a vase. Each individual flower lasts about a week, and the stem keeps opening buds for up to two weeks.
Drying and another use
If you are looking for flowers to dry, alstroemeria is less suited to hanging to air-dry, because its delicate petals tend to shrink and lose color.
