Flower care & Hydration tips

Flower Care & Hydration Tips

To make sure your flowers and arrangements are their most beautiful & long-lasting, please carefully follow these guidelines when handling your flowers.

 

Important!

During transit from our growers, your flowers have been without water in a state of "suspended animation" for many hours.

Preparing Your Flowers

  • Prepare clean vases or containers and clean, sharp utensils such as clippers, shears, or knives. Never use ordinary household scissors. 
  • Flowers should be cut and placed into water at the same relative temperature as the flowers. Warm flowers go into lukewarm water; cooler flowers go into cold water.
  • All flower stems must be recut to enable water absorption. Cut at least one inch from the bottom at a 45-degree angle, preferably under running water.
  • Remove all foliage that will be under the water line to delay bacteria growth.

Hydration & Storage

  • Immediately place the flowers into prepared water. Do not overcrowd.
  • Store flowers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, to let them drink and recover. This process may take up to 12 hours.
  • If any stems appear wilted, recut following the above directions.
  • To slow rehydration & blooming for a day or two, use cool water and store flowers in a cool, dark place (not in a refrigerator).Hig quality clear vase for flower bouquet

Using Floral Foam

  • If using floral foam, thoroughly saturate it in water and floral preservative.
  • Place your vase or arrangement away from heat, drafts, and direct sunlight.
  • Do not let your arrangement dry out!
