Care Instructions
Temperature
Please keep your arrangement in a cool area, typically in the mid 60's.
This is a happy range to help the flowers mature and open at good pace. One that will allow the flowers to not only last, but also allows you to see each flower bloom into their most beautiful stage. Anything warmer than 70 degrees is too warm and may result in the flowers wilting more quickly.
Freshen Up
Re-cut the stems and change to fresh clean water at least every 3 days.
When re-cutting the stems, cut with very sharp shears/scissors at a 45 degree angle and place in fresh water immediately.
Water
Never let the water level fall below the neckline of the container. Make sure that your container remains full. If it is in a clear vase, take a peek to make sure that all stems appear to be in the water so that they can drink and stay hydrated.
If the vase is not clear, use your hand to gently lift the side of the arrangement out of the way so that you can see the water level inside.
Surroundings
Do not place your arrangement in the sun or in any direct line of heat/chill. This could include a window, next to a vent, next to a stovetop or oven when on, next to the tv, etc.
Sometimes your flowers may arrive wrapped in plastic. We do this when it falls below 40 degrees outside to help protect them from a chill. Please remove the bag immediately as prolonged wrapping can cause the flowers to suffocate.
What are your flowers telling you?
Dry/Crunchy leaves
This is caused from a lack of water and/or it being too warm. Temperatures above 70 degrees can dry the flowers out, even if they have water.
Flowers opening too quickly
This may be caused by either being in a room that's too warm or from a processing/care error with the farm/wholesaler/florist.
Wilting
This can be caused by lack of water, high temperature, or bacteria, or age. Recutting the stems, refreshing the water, and placing in a cooler room MAY help resolve this issue.
Fading/bruising
Fading of color is a sign of an older bloom. Bruising can also reflect age or it can be from rough handling, particularly on white blooms.
Translucent Petals
This is typically from exposure to cold or freezing temperatures.
Tight Blooms
Tight or closed buds means that they are SUPER fresh! this is the ideal state as it means longer vase life. As for roses, some varieties open more than others. A rose not fully opening does not mean it's unhealthy, it may just be the specific variety.
