Its small, rounded-to-ovate leaves provide a sophisticated, cool-toned palette that complements both vibrant spring blooms and muted winter arrangements. Celebrated for its incredible fragrance and structural beauty, Gunni is an essential greenery for creating high-end, airy floral designs with a modern touch. Care & Handling Guide To maintain the striking silver-blue color and crisp texture of your bulk Eucalyptus Gunni, please follow these professional steps: Unpack Immediately: Remove the stems from their shipping box upon arrival to allow the foliage to breathe. Stem Preparation: Strip any leaves from the bottom portion of the stem that will be submerged in water to prevent decay and keep the water clear. The "Angle Cut": Using sharp floral shears, cut 2–3 cm off the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle to ensure maximum water uptake. Initial Hydration: Place the stems in a clean bucket or vase filled with lukewarm water; this helps the stems drink more efficiently. Optimal Environment: Keep your eucalyptus in a cool location, away from direct sunlight, heating vents, or cold drafts to prevent the leaves from drying out. Fresh Water Maintenance: Change the water every 2 days and provide a fresh trim to the stems to maximize their vase life. Design & Styling Tips Vertical Interest: Thanks to its sturdy, upright stems, Gunni is perfect for adding height and structure to large vase arrangements. Aromatic Accent: Gunni is one of the most fragrant varieties; use it to add a fresh, medicinal, and clean scent to any room. Exceptional Drying: This variety holds its silvery-blue color remarkably well when dried. Simply hang the stems upside down in a cool, dry place to use in permanent decor.
