How to recognise it

Tiny rounded bell-shaped seed pods along slender branching stems
Fine feathery foliage near the base
Mass of small pale green pods giving a frothy, textured look
Wiry green stems, no visible flowers once pods form

Care

Recut stems and remove any foliage that would sit below the waterline. Use clean water with flower food and change it every two days. Keep away from ripening fruit and other ethylene sources as pods can shatter. Store cool and out of direct sun or draughts.
