Flower Care Tips

• Keep your flower fresh longer and hydrated by trimming the ends, which tend to get gummy and closed, and changing the water every 3 or 4 days.
• Prevent mold by removing the leaves that are left on the stems below the water level.
• Use a clean vase to keep the bacteria away.
• Keep the water from getting cloudy and inhibit the growth of bacteria by adding  1/4 tsp bleach per liter of warm water.
• Nourish the plants by dissolving 3 tbsps of sugar per litre of warm water.
• Enhance your flowers' longevity by mixing 2 tbsps apple cider vinegar with the vase water before adding the flowers.
• Avoid flowers becoming dehydrated by keeping them away from appliances that give off heat.
• Lily pollen can stain. Carefully remove stamens from any newly opened flowers and avoid any direct contact.
• For flower boxes and baskets, just add 50-100 ml of water into floral foam every day.
