HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY FLOWERS?
You can extend the life of your flowers by giving them a little TLC! Follow these tips below to get the most out of your bouquets!
- Change the water every day or every other day
- Give them a snip at the bottom at an angle every few days, this allows the flowers to continue to absorb water.
- Remove any leaves that may touch the water, as well as any flowers that are dying. This allows the flowers to absorb fresh water, while not sending water to areas that do not need it.
- Use a little flower food, depending on your arrangement size you should use anywhere from a sprinkle to a quarter of a packet. Do not use a full packet all at once.
- Do not place your flowers near fruit or onions. It ages the flowers faster!
