Loose cuts are flowers that arrive out of water and are typically wrapped in cellophane or paper and with water tubes on the bottom of the stems.  Occasionally bouquets will be wrapped with a “bubble” of water at the bottom.  Please open bubble over a sink.

• * 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.
• * 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 a 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.

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.
• * 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.
