Flower Care Tips

Begin processing flowers as soon as you receive them.
Mix flower preservative in a clean container according to package instructions using the correct amount of warm water.
Carefully remove foliage that will be under water in the container.
Re-cut stems with a sharp knife or floral cutters
Flowers displayed in a cool location will always last longer. Keep them out of direct sunlight, and away from extreme temperatures caused by radiators and air conditioning units.
Try to keep flowers away from fruits and vegetables as they produce a gas called ethylene. (Ethylene promotes fast deterioration and a shorter life for the flowers).
Check water levels in the container daily.
Re-cutting stems every day helps remove any air blockages that may occur.
Remove wilted flowers and leaves daily to help remaining flowers last longer.
Wash container after use with disinfectant cleaner and hot water. Do not simply rinse out with plain water because harmful bacteria will not be removed.
