1. Begin with a clean vase. If possible, do not use water from a softener
for the flowers. The sodium (salt) content may decrease the life of some
flowers.
2. Always add Floralife® Flower Food to the water, following packet
or label directions. Floralife® Flower Food hydrates and nourishes
flowers for the maximum enjoyment of the customer.
3. Remove all of the foliage from below the water line. This prevents
the foliage from decaying and keeps the water cleaner and the stems free
flowing.
4. Give all flowers a fresh cut before placing them into flower food solution.
It helps ensure hydration.
5. Flowers will live longer if not placed in direct sunlight, in a draft
or on a television set.
6. Replenish the vase / container with a Floralife® Fresh Flower Food solution
as needed, due to water uptake and evaporation.
If a rose wilts and becomes limp, remove it from the vase/arrangement.
Recut the stem under water (cut off the bottom inch of the stem). Place
the flower into a warm water/flower food solution for one hour or until
the flower becomes firm. When it becomes firm, you can return it to the
vase / arrangement.
Flower Care Do’s and Don’ts
Don’t leave flowers out of water for extended periods. Be sure
to get them home and into water as soon as possible!
Don’t put flowers in a warm setting (i.e., sunny spot or on a television).
Warm water signals flowers to hurry up and open, thus shortening your
enjoyment.
Do Follow the directions on the flower food package - mixing incorrectly
is as bad or worse than not using any flower food at all.
