The following steps can be taken to prolong the life of your flowers:

Your flowers will arrive in an early blooming stage and can last up to 2 weeks with proper care.

The flowers will appear dramatically different after a few hours of hydration than when they first arrive. Please follow closely the instructions below to make the most of your order:

• Carefully unpack the flowers upon arrival.
• Use only clean vases or containers.
• Spring water will be more pure and clean than water from your tap. (If you choose to use flower food please follow the directions on the flower food container – too much flower food can do more harm than good).
• Remove all leaves and foliage which will be under the water in the vase. Leaves left underwater will rot and create bacteria.
• Cut at an angle 1 inch off the base of each flower stem using a sharp knife or scissors to allow for greater water uptake.
• Place the flowers in the water that you have prepared. Please know that flowers can take up to 12 hours to hydrate properly.
• Keep the flowers in a cool and well ventilated spot out of direct sunlight and away from heat. As a general rule of thumb: the cooler the temperature, the slower the flowers will open and the longer they will last. Avoid placing flowers near heating or cooling vents or under ceiling fans (placing flowers on or near these objects can cause the flower to become dehydrated).
• Change the water every 2 or 3 days, or whenever the water appears discolored. When you change the water we recommend you clean the vase and cut the stems again.
