Flower Care
Bouquet
- In order to maintain your arrangements, please take care when removing the cellophane or wrapping. Cutting the stems of the flowers will allow for longer-lasting arrangements
- When removing the stems, ensure they are cut on an angle about 3cm from the end
- Place the flowers in deep water and stand in a cool, shady area for a minimum of an hour then fill a vase with water, add the flower food and place the flowers in the vase
- Keep your flowers away from droughts, direct heat or sunlight and ensure that they are placed in a cool location. Top up regularly with fresh water
- Some of your flowers may still be in bud, which allows you to enjoy them for as long as possible
Arrangements

All Cut Flowers
- Re-cut all stems approximately 3-4cm
- Keep flowers in a cool place but away from droughts
- Keep flowers away from extreme heat and cold, ea. heaters, air conditioners, TV, microwaves, computers
- Keep flowers away from fruits: they release a gas called ethylene, which accelerates the aging process of cut flowers
- You may use fresh water at tap temperature as an alternative to flower food preservative
- Re-fill vase with fresh water 2-3 days
