Fresh Cut Flowers & Arrangements
Simply one of the nicest
choices! A mixed bouquet of fresh cut flowers in the colors of your choice
or for an elegant alternative - send a white on white arrangement!
You've just received a
gorgeous bouquet of colorful, fragrant flowers. Now what? Here are some tips
for keeping your flowers beautiful longer.
-
Re-cut your flower stems
at an angle under lukewarm water using a sharp knife.
-
Remove any leaves from the
bottom of the stem as leaves should never be covered with water.
-
Arrange each flower
separately into a vase or container filled with room temperature water
and floral preservative. (if no preservative is available, use a drop of
bleach)
-
Empty and refill the vase
or container with clean water each day.
-
For lilies & gladioli add
a tablespoon of white vinegar to the water.
-
For roses & snapdragons
add a pinch of salt to the water.
-
You can
reduce murky water by adding one aspirin tablet.
-
Spray a fine mist of water
on leaves & blossoms during hot weather.
-
Place your bouquet in a
cool location, and away from direct sunlight, electrical appliances and
drafts.
