Caring For Your Fresh Cut Flowers

Follow these simple steps after receiving your shipment of fresh cut flowers. You will enjoy their stunning display of vibrant colors and delicious aromas day after day!

1. Always begin with clean tools and containers: scissors, shears, vases.
   
2. Add lukewarm water to your container. Hot water signals the flowers to open much faster.
3. Cut approximately 1 inch from the flower stems, using a 45 degree angle.
   
4. Mix in your floral food or preservative according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Remove all foilage from below the water line. This prevents decay and bacteria.
6. Do not place flowers in direct sunlight, or drafts from air conditioners or heaters.
7. Every 2 or 3 days, re-cut the flower stems and replace the water and floral food.

Remember to treat your freshly cut flowers with care and affection. They will reward your efforts with long lasting beauty, elegance and style!
