Flower Care

How to care for your hand-tied arrangement

Just follow these simple steps and your flowers will look lovelier, for longer ...

Remove the hand-tied arrangement carefully from its packaging so that the flowers and foliage are not bruised or damaged in any way.
Your hand-tied arrangement should not be left in the water bag for any longer than 24 hours.
Take your hand-tied arrangement over to a sink and snip the water bag base to release the water.
You can either leave the packaging on or remove it all with care, but do not untie your flowers.
Cut at least 2cm from the ends of the stems at a 45° angle with scissors or secateurs. Flowers with a woody stem should be cut at an angle and split. Do not hammer or crush the stems.
Select a vase which is large enough for your bouquet to stand upright and fill it with water and add the flower food. Place your flowers in the vase.
Ideally place your flowers away from draughts and direct sunlight in a cool room. Some fruits give off gases which reduce the life of certain flowers so we recommend keeping fruit separately.
Remove any spent blooms, together with any faded foliage.
To prolong the life of your flowers please remember to change the water in the vase at least once a week.

If the Rose head flops, as soon as possible, cut off the stem end as above and stand the Rose in 2cm of boiling water for 15 mins or so; this should clear any air locks in the stem.
