Care & Tips
Bouquets & Roses
Take care when removing the cellophane. This is sometimes used
as a reservoir for water to keep your bouquet fresh during delivery.
Cut the stems at an angle about 3 cms from the end. Place in deep
water and stand in a cool, shady place for an hour or more. Fill
a vase with water, add flower food and place the flowers into
the vase. Keep your flowers in a cool location away from draughts,
direct heat or sunlight. Top up regularly with water and flower
food. Some of your flowers may still be in bud. This is because
we want you to enjoy them for as long as possible.
Roses
If a rose starts to droop at the head, re-cut the stem, wrap the
head in paper to support upright and plunge 5 cms of the stem
into boiling water for about 30 seconds. Cut the stem again and
place in deep cold water for 2 hours.
Lilies
Lily pollen can stain. Please carefully remove lily stamens from
any newly opening blooms and avoid direct contact.
Hand-tieds
Release the water from the water reservoir by cutting a hole in
the cellophane over a sink. Remove all gift wrapping. Do not untie
your flowers. They have been specially arranged and tied ready
to be placed into a vase. Follow care instructions as for Bouquets.
Arrangements
Top up the container with water daily.
Fruit
Fresh or artificial fruit is sometimes included in flower arrangements
for decorative purposes only. Do not remove or eat as it may have
been secured with wooden, plastic or wire fixings.
Candles
These are for decoration only. To avoid the risk of fire you are
advised not to light them.
Plants
Most plants like light and an even temperature. Avoid draughts,
fumes and cold. Foliage plants require little water in winter.
Flowerings plants generally need more water. Water Azaleas and
Hydrangeas daily. Water St.Paulia and Cyclamen plants from the
bottom and not the top. All plants should be fertilized as required.
