The Lisianthus, also known as Eustoma or Japanese rose, is a popular cut flower due to its versatility and playfulness. Furthermore, with a flowering time of 7-10 days, the Lisianthus is very long-lasting and easy to care for – not least because of its native origin: the harsh and dry prairie landscape of North America.
To ensure that your Lisianthus gives you pleasure for as long as possible, we will show you our care tips for the Lisianthus.
Choose a large, tall vase for the lisianthus, ensuring at least half of the stems are submerged in water. Use only a clean vase.
For the approx. 70cm long Lisianthus from Tom Flowers we recommend the TF Vase Medium .
Fill the vase with cold water so that the stems are halfway submerged or just below the leaves.
Dissolve the enclosed care product completely in the water.
Remove all leaves from the bottom up to at least halfway up the stems. The remaining leaves must not be submerged in the water. Leaves that submerge in the water will quickly begin to rot, accelerating the wilting of the entire lisianthus.
Cut the lisianthus at a slight angle using a sharp knife or TF flower scissors , ensuring the cut stem ends don't bend in the vase.
After cutting, place the Lisianthus immediately in the prepared vase so that the cut surfaces do not dry out and no air gets into the water channels of the stems.
To prevent the lisianthus from wilting or rotting too quickly, do not place it in direct sunlight, in a location that is too warm, or near fruit.
The lisianthus evaporates a lot of water through its many delicate leaves and flowers. Therefore, it's important to repeat the steps explained above every few days to ensure the lisianthus always has enough water.

It's natural that the lifespan of fresh lisianthus cannot be precisely predicted. With proper care, fresh lisianthus can last up to 10 days, making it very durable. It's important not to place the lisianthus in direct sunlight or near fruit.
Lisianthus should be cut diagonally with a clean, sharp knife. This maximizes water absorption without damaging the water channels in the stem.
Fruit produces ethylene gas. Ethylene is a ripening gas that fruit releases during ripening and can accelerate the ripening process of flowers. For long-lasting storage, we recommend storing flowers separately from fruit.
Never place Lisianthus in direct sunlight. Otherwise, the flowers will evaporate more water than they can absorb through the stem and will quickly die of thirst.
Leaves that extend into the water promote the formation of bacteria in the water. These, in turn, attack the cut flowers, causing them to wilt more quickly.
For Lisianthus, fill the vase with cold water.
Lisianthus is very fine and delicate and therefore cannot be dried.
Lisianthus represents appreciation and gratitude. The perfect flowers to express your thanks.
