1. Make sure to unpack and refresh the flowers
Because the stem of Anemones is hollow, it can dehydrate to varying degrees during transportation, causing the flower to wilt and the flower head to bend. After receiving the flowers, do not open the packaging. Instead, insert them, still in the packaging, into water to refresh for more than 5 hours. This way, once the stem has absorbed enough water and becomes straight, the flower head will remain upright.

2. Prune the branches
Remove some leaves, and make sure there are no leaves below the mouth of the bottle, as they can easily rot. Too many leaves will compete with the flower head for water and nutrients.
Adjust the length according to the height of the vase, with a distance of 10-15 cm between the flower head and the vase being ideal.
3. Pay attention to the water level
About one-third of the vase's height should be filled with water, and add the appropriate amount of preservative according to the ratio of 1 pack of preservative to 500 ml of water. With preservative, you can change the water every 3 days, otherwise, it's best to change it every day.
4. Handle with care
The stem of Anemones is quite brittle and easy to break. You need to be gentle when handling it. If you notice any fragile parts that are prone to breaking, you can apply a splint to prevent it. Use some straight objects to wrap and secure, such as straws or cut flower stems.

5. Vase insertion suggestions:
Trimmed Anemones should be placed in a vase with a smaller diameter. Since the stems of Anemones are brittle, they can be placed in a vase that's closer to the center to prevent accidental collisions and breakage.
The trick to inserting Anemones into a vase is to arrange them in a "scattered and orderly" manner, which not only creates a layered aesthetic but also ensures that each flower has enough space to bloom fully.
Fun facts about Anemones
Anemones are cold-resistant but not heat-resistant, so the higher the indoor temperature, the shorter their lifespan will be.
The flower head of Anemones is very small when it is not yet open and looks beautiful after it blooms fully.
Anemones tend to droop, and if you notice drooping, cut the flower head from the drooping part and place it in a shorter container, where it will continue to bloom. If there is only a flower head left without a stem, you can float the flower head in a beautiful flat dish, which will have a unique beauty.
Do not place it in direct sunlight or near fruit!
All good things are worth waiting for. With patience and care, you will be amazed by the beauty of Anemones after they bloom.
