Light:
Flowering plants thrive on sunshine, so the more you
can provide the better they like it. If you have the
option, place them near an easterly or southerly facing
window.
Temperature: Most flowering
plants prefer temperatures in the 55 - 70 degree range
(Fahrenheit).
Watering: Inspect soil
daily and add water when the soil feels dry to the
touch. When watering, wet the soil all the way through.
Fertilizing: If you keep your
flowering plants longer than 5 weeks, plant food/fertilizer
should be added. Most garden centres can recommend
a suitable fertilizer.

few days and add water when the soil feels dry to
the touch. When watering, wet the soil all the way

Most arrangements
use floral foam to secure the fresh cut
flowers stay in place. In order to maximize
the life of the fresh flowers and greens,
add water daily. If possible, locate your
arrangement away from heat and drafts
and store in a cool place overnight.

For longevity of cut flower bouquets,
here are five steps that we recommend
you follow:
- Cut stems using a sharp knife. Do
not use scissors. Cut stems under water
that is fresh, clean and warm.
- Immediately place your cut flowers
in a vase or container filled with water.
It is recommended that you remove all
foliage that lies below the water line.
- Many cut flowers are delivered with
a small bag of floral preservative.
We highly recommend that you read the
instructions and add accordingly in
order to prolong the life of your flowers.
- Add water to the container as needed.
This is generally every couple days.
If you're not using preservatives, it
is best to scrub the container and re-cut
flower stems on a daily basis.
- Flowers are best kept away from heat
sources, drafts and the direct air from
air conditioner units/vents
