HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR LOOSE CUT FLOWERS
("Loose cuts" are flowers that arrive out of water and are typically wrapped in cellophane or paper.) |
 |
| • |
Upon arrival, fill a clean vase with lukewarm water. |
| • |
If floral food has been provided, add the food according to the instructions on the packet. (Some flowers do not require floral food, so it may not always be included.) |
| • |
Remove any lower foliage from the stems to ensure no leaves are under water. |
| • |
Immediately before their placement within water, re-cut the stems on an angle with a sharp knife or scissors, at least 1 to 2 inches from the bottom. |
| • |
Add fresh water and, if included, floral food daily. If the water becomes murky, clean the vase and re-cut the stems. |
| • |
For maximum life, display your flowers in a cool location out of direct sunlight, and away from drafts. |

ADDITIONAL ROSE CARE |
|
| • |
If a rose wilts prematurely, re-cut the stem and submerge the entire flower and stem under lukewarm water. Keep the rose submerged for two hours to revive the stem. |
| • |
Alternatively, cut the stem short and float the bloom in a low bowl for a lovely, simple display. |

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR FRESH FLORAL ARRANGEMENT
("Floral arrangements" are flowers that arrive in a vase or container that have been designed by a florist.) |
|
| • |
Upon arrival, check water level immediately. |
| • |
Add lukewarm water on a daily basis to keep the water level near the top of the container. |
| • |
For maximum life, display your flowers in a cool location out of direct sunlight, and away from drafts. |
