Caring for cut flowers
• If your flowers arrive already arranged it is important to add water daily. Bouquets of flowers require a vase of fresh water to which the provided preservative should be added.
• Carefully remove the wrapping from the bottom of stems and any water sachets.
• Re-cut the stem ends on an angle and remove any foliage which will be under water.
• Do not place flowers on a TV - they do not like heat. Keep out of drafts and direct sunlight.
• Every 3 or 4 days change water and re-cut stems.
• Display your fresh cut rose arrangements in a cool area out of direct sunlight and drafts
• Roses are thirsty flowers. It is important to check to see that the vase is full and add preservative solution often.
• Any lilies received should have the pollen stamens removed as they open. This will enhance the life of the lily and prevent any staining from the pollen.
Home Recipe for Flower Preservative:
1 can of 7-Up or Sprite to 1 liter of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar added to water or a splash of hydrogen peroxide.
Orchid Care Tips
• Remove the water vial from the stem of each spray.
• Trim one-half inch or more from each spray.
• Submerge the entire stem, including the flower head, in fresh (room temperature) water for 10-20 minutes.
• Fill a vase with room temperature water and add the flower food as directed.
• Remove flowers from water, shake off excess, and place in a glass vase.
• Mist flowers a few times each day.
• Keep out of direct sunlight and away from hot or cold drafts.
• Re-cut stems and change the water every other day.
