FLOWER FACTS
|
Making Flowers Last Longer
- Always use clean vases or containers. This will prevent any
bacteria from ruining the quality of the flowers.
- Remove all of the leaves which will be under the water while
in the vase. Leaves that are submerged will rot, thus creating
bacteria and shortening the life span of your flowers.
- Always add the cut flower food supplied to you by your floral
provider, to the water in the vase. Change the water and flower
food every three to four days.
- Our grower fresh flowers are shipped when they are in bud or
half open, which is the recommended state to pick flowers. You
will then have the pleasure of seeing them slowly open up, this
also increases the life span of your flowers.
- Never place your floral arrangements in full sun or over a
radiator. This will cause excess water loss from the flowers, and
they will wilt very quickly. For a maximum life span the best
place for your flowers is in a cool room.
- Use a container that is in proportion to the amount of flowers
you have. Too small of a container for the flowers will not hold
enough water, and they may dry out before you realize it.
- Once or twice a day lightly spray your finished arrangement
with clear water to create a humid atmosphere around the flowers.
