How to care for your Flower ArrangementMake sure the container is filled to the brim with water upon receipt and is kept topped up each day thereafter.
If, however, the flowers have been arranged in a water retaining material (which has the property of soaking up water like a sponge) make sure that it is kept damp by adding water to the container each day.
Keep the Arrangement away from draughts and radiators. The cooler the room, the longer the flowers will last.
If in any doubt, consult your florist. He wants your flowers to last well and give you satisfaction.
Caution! Furniture Care Whilst every care and attention is taken in theproduction of this arrangement and container, we advise you to place a table mat or such-like between the container and furniture surfaces etc. in case of leakage.
How to care for Your RosesCut the stems and place immediately in DEEP water up to the neck. Leave in a cool place for a "good drink". Arrange in a DEEP vase or again cut stems to suit the vase, allowing for PLENTY of stem in water. DO NOT leave them in a draught, near heat, or in direct sunshine. If the roses should flop at their heads re-cut and plunge the stems only into boiling water for a short time.
How to care for Your FlowersCut one inch off the bottom of soft stemmed flowers with a sharp knife, slantwise. Hard and woody stemmed flowers should be sliced slantwise and one to three inches of bark at the end of the stem scraped away with a sharp knife. The flowers should then be placed in deep water for at least an hour before arranging. Always arrange in a clean container with as deep a depth of water as possible, topping up daily. Remove all leaves which, on arranging, will be below water level. As far as possible avoid putting flowers in draughty or hot locations and keep out of direct sunshine. Should any flower flag, again treat as above.
How to care for Your Tied ArrangementIMPORTANT! Do not untie your flowers. After removing wrapping, trim ends of stems. Place arrangement in a suitable container and fill with water. As far as possible avoid putting flowers in a draughty or hot location and keep out of direct sunshine.
