A bit of care...

Floral Arrangement in a Vase

  • Upon receipt, add clean fresh water to the vase, bringing the water
    line close to the top of the vase.
  • Every day, change the water by inverting the vase over the sink
    and refilling with clean room-temperature water.
  • Every 2 to 3 days, gently lift the entire bouquet out of the vase.
    Make a new cut approximately ½ inch from the end of each stem using a sharp knife at a 45 degree angle. Clean the vase and replace the flowers. Add fresh room-temperature water and floral preservative according to the packet instructions.
  • Remove individual flowers as they begin to wilt. On multi-bloom stems, remove only the blooms that have wilted. This allows the remaining buds to open.
  • Display in a cool location away from direct sunlight, heat and drafts.

Floral Arrangement in Foam

  • Keep the stems anchored in the foam.
  • Add water daily to keep the foam thoroughly saturated. The foam has been pre-treated with a floral preservative.
  • Remove the individual flowers as they begin to wilt. On multi-bloom stems, remove each bloom as it wilts, allowing the remaining buds
    to open.
  • Display in a cool location away from direct sunlight, heat and drafts.
