Flower Care
How can I make my flowers last longer?
Certain varieties of cut flowers last longer than others. Carnations, for
example, can remain vibrant for long periods. Roses have a shorter vase
life, but are prized for their special and delicate beauty. When buying
flowers, be sure to ask your florist how long you should expect your arrangement to last. Whatever variety you choose, a little TLC will go a
long way to keep your blooms looking fresh longer. Here are a few handy
tips that can help add days to their beauty!
Essentials For Your Flowers
Keep them in a cool spot (65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit ; 18 to 22 degrees
Celsius), away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vent, direct drafts
from a ceiling fan and the tops of televisions or radiators. (Appliances like televisions give off heat, causing flowers to dehydrate.)
When your flowers arrive in wet foam, keep the floral foam soaked in
water. When your flowers are arranged in water, keep the vase filled
with water. Colored containers need direct checking for water level
(actually look inside the container). If the solution becomes cloudy,
replace it entirely. If possible, recut the stems at an angle by removing
1 to 2 inches with a sharp knife.
Tip:
2 drops of Peroxide will reduce bacteria, hence, a longer lasting bloom.
Remove leaves that will be below the waterline. Leaves in water will
promote bacterial growth that can harm the flowers.
What is floral food and why use it?
Floral food is a combination of additives that help nourish the flowers
and discourage bacteria from growing in the water. It is one of the best
and easiest ways to extend the life of your flowers. It is very important
to follow the directions on the package correctly. Improperly mixed floral
food can do more harm than good. MORE IS NOT BETTER!!! As a courtesy,
for our customers, our Flowers are treated before they leave our shop,
so you don't have to.
