YOU RECEIVED FLOWERS FOR VALENTINE'S?

How to care for your cut flowers

• Remove any leaves that may come in contact with the water in the vase
• Fill a vase with room temperature water and add floral preservative to the water.
• Cut up to one inch off the flower stem. Cut at an angle. Immediately place them in water. This will allow the flower to absorb more water.
• Display your flowers in a cool area and away from direct sunlight
• If possible change the water daily, this will minimize bacterial growth
• For longer lasting flowers you can place your vase and flowers in the refrigerator at night and remove them in the morning
• Keep flowers away from ripening fruits and cigarette smoke as they produce ethylene gas and it will considerably reduce vase life.
