Care and Handling Recommendations

On our Flowers shop

• When we receive our flowers, they come in boxes. We inspect all our flowers and make sure they are up to our standard.
• We cut all the stems and dip them in instant hydrating liquid before putting in water.
• We do not process any of your flowers (cutting any leaves or thorns of roses).
• We will take your flowers off from water right before they go out for delivery, you might find the delivery box a little wet when you receive your flower.

Before you receive flowers

• Make sure buckets/containers are clean, may wash with diluted dishwashing liquid or bleach, make sure to raise well.

When you receive flowers

• Fill your buckets/containers with at least 6 inches of fresh water.
• We recommend using close to room temperature water or even slightly lukewarm water (Especially in winter).
• Add the provided flower food to the water, follow the instructions of the package. Adding TOO MUCH flower food will make flowers wilt faster.
• Remove all packages and elastic bands.
• Cut all leaves below the waterline to prevent bacteria growing in water which might cause premature wilting.
• Cut the stems about 1 inch from the bottom at diagonally 45 angles to maximize water intake.
• Immediately after cutting, put flowers into the prepared water.
• Make sure you are NOT over-crowded your bucket. Over-crowding may affect or damage the blooming flower.
• Re-check on flowers after 3-4 hours, if the flower is drooping, RECUT the stem another 1 inch, it is possible the air bubble is formed inside the stem which blocks the water intake.
• For ANY foliage, put them in FRESH water ONLY. Flower food will make foliage wilt faster.
• Keep both flowers and foliage in a cool (prefer darker) location. Please avoid any direct sunlight, wind drafts or heat and extreme temperatures.
• Putting flowers in warm temperatures will help flowers (especially roses and carnations) bloom quicker. Vice versa, putting flowers in a cooler location will slow down the process.
• Change water every 48 hours or when the water becomes cloudy.
• Make sure your flowers will have sufficient water at ALL times.

For Roses

• All roses are with guard petals attached, in order to protect during transportation. After removing the packaging cardboard, carefully remove any brown or discolored guard petals. This might up to 8 petals per rose.
• Wear gardening gloves while handling since we do not remove any thorns on your roses before delivery.

For Hydrangea

• Your hydrangea will arrive in buckets, OR flat in a box, Just leave them in cooler temperature.
• When re-cutting hydrangea, cut the bottom diagonally AND cut UP the stem vertically.
• Hydrangea will drink an exceptionally large amount of water, please DO NOT over-crowded your buckets/ containers.

For all dye or tinted flowers

• Your dye flowers will transfer its color to ANYTHING, please be careful when processing. It is normal that the water will be slightly tinted and just change to freshwater.
