FRESH FLOWER CARE GUIDE
FRESH FLOWER
ARRANGEMENTS
Refill water if any was lost during travel. To improve longevity, refresh water every few days or sooner if it begins to look cloudy. If you are able to recut stems, trim by .25” - .5” before refilling vase with fresh water.
If your arrangement was designed in floral foam, monitor hydration and add water when it begins to feel dry.
Remove dying or dead flowers from your arrangement as they wilt will allow the remaining flowers to stay fresher, longer.
Display fresh flower arrangements out of direct sunlight, away from heat sources and fresh fruit.
FRESH FLOWERS
WRAPPED IN PAPER OR
SHIPPED IN A BOX
Remove any foliage from stems that will fall below the waterline. Cut stems by approximately .5” - 1” and place or arrange in a vase of clean water.
If your flowers have arrived in a box, for instance from a bulk flower seller, they may need additional time to hydrate before using. Place them in a bucket of room-temperature water and let them rest for at least one to three hours. Do not overcrowd.
Flower food is a nice addition, but if you don’t have it, it’s okay.
DRIED FLOWER
WREATHS
Dried flowers are delicate and can break easily. Display your dried wreath indoors our outdoors in a covered area (such as a porch) where it won’t get wet. Dried flowers are also extremely flammable, please use caution around candles or open flame.
When not on display, store your dried wreath an a cool, dry area and out of direct sun. A box works well for protection, or you can use a plastic bag, just be sure to leave the bottom open so air can circulate.
