ORNITHOGALUM

Ornithogalum thrysoides is also known as the Star of Bethlehem or Chincherinchee.

Ornithogalum is a spiked cluster of 12 - 18 small star shaped flowers on a single stem. Each flower measures 1" across.

Care and Handling:
  • Unpack as soon as possible to prevent wilting and accumulation of Ethylene gas. Cut off 5 cm of stem, using stem cutters, a sharp knife or scissors.
  • Place the flowers in warm water with Chrysal plant food. Put flower buckets in cooler with relative humidity of 90 - 95%.
  • Loosen bunches in buckets for better circulation. Remove damaged flowers or leaves. Replenish Chrysal solution every day or two as needed.
