Kangaroo paw is wonderful for modern designs but I find the flower/bract/whatever flops fairly soon. Is there any secret to keeping it up, so to speak?!

Ha...I should know the answer to this one...but sadly

I'll have to make it a top priority now to find the cure for flaccid Kangaroo paw

Kangaroo paw is anigozanthus, google it i am sure you will recognise it. It was defo on my idents but i dont get it very often because every time i get it it goes flaccid

flaccid and turgid are just two words that constantly make a few of us who should get a life laugh

Cut a good couple of inches off stem (slanted) and put in hot water, change water frequently. Don't buy it if it looks a little flaccid I love the stuff specially the lime green and black.

It just needs a good drink....

What Breezy said should help it stand up again.....

I use it all the time and it does last really well.

I love the green and black one, that's the one most Australians think of when you say kangaroo paw, I think the red aand the yellow ones are a bit boring. But yes, faccidity is a big problem

Many thanks! Will now try the hot water treatment though I think my kangaroo's flaccidity might be terminal. Nice to hear from downunder - I presume your weather's better than ours?! It's stinkingly wet and cold here - emigration sounds good.
