Christmas Bush has been enjoyed as a garden plant and sold as a cut flower in Sydney for over a century, they were originally picked from the bush or from garden-grown plants.

Plantation production for cut flowers began as early as 1912, but it was only in the 1990s that large plantations were set up.

The contrast of green foliage with bright red flowers, which are produced around December, is what gives Christmas Bush its name and makes them ideal for use in Christmas flower arrangements

When cut, their pretty scarlet blooms are surprisingly long lasting – up to three weeks!

When you purchase or cut the Christmas Bush, (if not already in a vase with water) ensure you trim the stems at an angle with sharp, clean pruning shears before placing them in water. This helps the stems absorb water more effectively. A clean, fresh cut at the base of the stems once a week will best assist with water uptake.

Check the level daily and replenish it as needed to keep the stems hydrated.
Change the water in the vase every couple of days to prevent the growth of bacteria and to ensure the Christmas Bush has access to clean water and a clean vase or container.

Keep the Christmas Bush in a cool part of the home. Cooler temperatures will slow down the drying process and help the plant stay fresh longer.

If the air in your home tends to be very dry, consider using a humidifier to maintain moisture around the Christmas Bush.

Display the Christmas Bush away from drafts, as well as direct heat sources, such as direct sunlight, radiators, and heating vents. Exposure to heat can cause the foliage to dry and wilt more quickly.

Mist the foliage with water regularly to provide additional humidity and keep the leaves looking fresh.

Remember that the specific care requirements can vary based on the exact conditions of your home and the specific needs of the Christmas Bush. Observing the plant regularly and adjusting care accordingly will help keep it looking its best.
