Flower Care

• Lift the bouquet out of the bag or box and carefully remove the paper wrap and hydration pack.
• Do not remove the string as this holds the handcrafted design together.
• Remove any leaves that would be below the waterline to keep the water clean and prolong the vase life.
• Cut the flower stems on an angle and split woody stems with scissors. Trim to the right length for your vase.
• Pour the flower food into your chosen vase and fill with freshly‐drawn, lukewarm water.
• Place the flowers in the vase ensuring the water is high enough to reach any shorter stems.
• Position the flowers away from direct sunlight, draughts, radiators or air conditioning.
• If these steps are followed, a mixed bouquet should last 5‐7 days. The flowers may last varying lengths of time, simply remove any dying flowers as the bouquet ages.

Orchid Plant Care

• Orchid plants should be kept in a well‐lit place but out of direct sunlight.
• Avoid draughts and extreme temperatures of below 12°c or above 25°c.
• Water/mist the roots and leaves regularly (approx. once a week) avoiding the flowers. The roots should remain moist but should not sit in water.
• Wipe any dust from the leaves as required to ensure light reaches the foliage.
• If this care guide is followed, orchid flowers should last for approx. 4 weeks. Once the plant has finished flowering, cut the flower stem back to the third node above the leaves. In time a new flower stem may appear.

Wreath & Garland Care

Our winter wreaths and garlands are handmade to order by our team of master florists. They remain fresh for approximately one to two weeks and dry beautifully.

• Mist with water regularly (front and back) to keep both the foliage and the base moist.
• Keep outside or in a cool place to maximise the lifespan.
