Care
Strip any foliage that will sit below the waterline and recut stems at an angle before placing in water. Use clean buckets with fresh water and a flower food; eucalyptus is not ethylene sensitive but benefits from clean water changed every few days. Crush or recut woody stem ends to aid water uptake. Keep away from direct heat sources.
