Lengthen the Life of Your Arrangement
A little extra care can make a big difference for any size flower arrangement or fresh flower bouquet. Most floral arrangements last 4-7 days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive, if tended to. Here are the three top tips for looking after your flowers:
Water
Keep the vase filled (or floral foam soaked) with water containing the flower food we gave you. Flower foods make flowers last longer but it is important to follow the mixing directions on the flower food packet. Most packets are to be mixed with c a pint of water. Flower foods should not be diluted with more water than is specified on the packet.
Food
If the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely with properly mixed flower food solution. If possible, re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into solution. Be careful not to cut yourself!
Temperature
Keep flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators. Appliances like televisions give off heat, which causes flowers to dehydrate. Most flowers will last longer under cool conditions.
NB. Images show the standard bouquet. Deluxe bouquet has more flowers.
Gorgeous Gerberas
Despite arriving in Europe in the 19th Century, these cheerful flowers were little-known just 20 years ago. However they are now extremely fashionable, popular with both traditionalists and those looking to add a modern touch to their homes. Originating in South Africa, this beaming bouquet prefers warmth and bright light to keep it in peak condition. Ideal as a “Get Well” present, a way of congratulating someone on some good news or simply a pleasant surprise for anyone you know who could use some inspiration for smiling!
People love to talk about sending flowers, but don't always get round to actually doing it. So send someone a hint to buy you this arrangement. You can also add a message and your name (if you want). Good luck!
