Tips for long lasting flowers

 

Bouquets

• As soon as your flowers arrive, cut 1" from the stems and stand them in a bucket of water for about an hour to give them a good drink.
• Before arranging them strip off all the bottom leaves that will be sitting in the water to prevent them going mouldy and smelling.
• Replace the water and recut the stems by 1/2" on a daily basis
• Place your flowers in a cool place out of direct sunlight
• Use flower food to prolong life and keep and maintain healthy flowers.

Arrangements

• Top up with fresh water at least once a day
• Keep out of direct sunlight and in a cool spot
