Proper flower care techniques.
1: Begin with a clean vase. Add fresh water.
2: We recommend adding flower food to the water, but many people substitute an aspirin tablet, tablespoon of bleach or white vinegar.
3: Remove all of the foliage from below the water line. This prevents the foliage from decaying and keeps the water cleaner and the stems free flowing.
4: Give all flowers a fresh cut before placing them into the water. This helps ensure proper and full hydration.
5: Flowers will live longer if not placed in direct sunlight or within an area that receives a constant draft of air.
6: Every three days we recommend changing the water, cutting the stems and again adding water additive. This ensures the longest life vase of your flowers.
Reviving a Wilted Rose
If a rose wilts and becomes limp, remove it from the vase/arrangement. Re-cut the stem under water (cut off the bottom inch of the stem). Place the flower into a warm water/flower food solution for one hour or until the flower becomes firm. When it becomes firm, you can return it to the vase/arrangement.
Flower Care Don'ts
Don't leave flowers out of water for extended periods. Be sure to get them home and into water as soon as possible!
Don't put flowers in a warm setting (i.e., sunny spot or on a television). Warm water signals flowers to hurry up and open, thus shortening your enjoyment.
Flower care instructions for different kinds of flowers
Roses
1.Remove any leaves that may be under water.
2.While holding the stems under water in a sink or under running water, cut about one inch off each stem with a sharp knife or shears. DO NOT let the newly cut end dry off before transferring it back to your arrangement or other container.
3.Water to which a good floral preservative has been added is the best solution in which to arrange fresh cut roses. Using it as recommended will provide additional days of vase life. Avoid using water from a water softener.
4.Immediately after the stems are cut, place your roses in a clean, deep vase of warm preservative solution (about 100 degrees F). If possible leave them in a cool dark room or refrigerator to 'condition' for 2 or 3 hours after arranging.
5.Temperature is key to the lifespan of flowers. Display your fresh cut rose arrangements in a cool area out of direct sunlight and drafts.
6.Wilted Roses may be revived by placing them under water. Submerge the entire rose under water in a sink or bathtub. In 20 to 60 minutes, the rose should have absorbed enough water to replenish itself. While submerged, cut off 1 inch of the stem using a sharp knife or scissors.
7.Roses are thirsty flowers. It is important to check to see that the vase is full and add preservative solution often. Be sure foam materials are completely saturated and the container is full daily.
Gerbera Daisy
1.Remove plastic protective cups from the flower.
2.While holding the stems under water in a sink or under running water, cut about one inch off each stem with a sharp knife or shears. DO NOT let the newly cut end dry off before transferring it back to your arrangement or other container.
3.Water to which a good floral preservative has been added is the best solution in which to arrange fresh cut daisies. Using it as recommended will provide additional days of vase life. Avoid using water from a water softener.
4.Immediately after the stems are cut, place your daisies in a deep vase of warm preservative solution (about 100 degrees F). If possible leave them in a cool dark room or refrigerator to 'condition' for 2 or 3 hours after arranging.
5.Temperature is key to the lifespan of flowers. Display your fresh cut gerbera daisy arrangements in a cool area out of direct sunlight and drafts.
6.Daisies are thirsty flowers. It is important to check to see that the vase is full and add preservative solution often. Be sure foam materials are completely saturated and the container is full daily.
7.Gerbera stems are highly subseptible to bacteria blockage. This may cause the head to droop over. Use clean water and replenish preservatives every 1-2 days.
Lilies
1.Remove any leaves that may be under water.
2.While holding the stems under water in a sink or under running water, cut about one inch off each stem with a sharp knife or shears. DO NOT let the newly cut end dry off before transferring it back to your arrangement or other container.

7.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. If you get any lily pollen on your clothing DO NOT rub off with your hands (rubs pollen deeper into the fabric). Use a toothbrush or a dry towel to brush off pollen.
Tulips
1.Leave tulips in the wrap and place in a vase of water under a light source, for about an hour before arranging. This will help to keep the tulips upright for longer. Tulips tend to curve towards the light.
2.Remove any leaves that may be under water.
3.While holding the stems under water in a sink or under running water, cut about one inch off each stem with a sharp knife or shears. DO NOT let the newly cut end dry off before transferring it back to your arrangement or other container.
