Caring for your Summer-Salt Perfume Trio

Anthurium is a tropical bloom that drinks steadily and dislikes the cold, so keep the trio in clean, room-temperature water and well away from air-conditioning vents and direct sun, both of which dull the spathes' lacquered sheen. Recut the firm stems on a slant every few days and refresh the water before it clouds, since these thick stems can foul standing water faster than they tire themselves. The waxy spathes also appreciate a little ambient humidity; a light misting now and then keeps them taut and glossy in Dubai's dry indoor air. Handle the faces gently when you reposition the stems, as bruised or creased spathes mark easily and won't recover their finish.

How long your flowers last

Built entirely from anthurium, the Summer-Salt Perfume Trio holds remarkably well, with a realistic display of 2–3 weeks when kept in good conditions. Because every stem here is anthurium, there is no faster-fading partner bloom to watch for; the arrangement ages evenly, with the glossy spathes gradually softening in colour rather than wilting outright toward the end of the third week. The earliest signs of decline tend to show in the spadix and at the spathe edges, while the waxy faces and sturdy stems are what carry the piece for the full span. The single most useful habit is to change the water every two to three days and trim a small slice off each stem at the same time, which keeps the cut clean and the long anthurium vase life that Amicis selected this trio for fully intact.
