Exquisite Florals to Express What Words Can Not
Flower Care Certain varieties of cut flowers last longer than others. Carnations, for example, can remain vibrant for long periods. Roses have a shorter vase life, but are prized for their special and delicate beauty. When buying flowers, be sure to ask us how long you should expect your arrangement to last. Whatever variety you choose, a little TLC will go a long way to keep your blooms looking fresh longer. Here are a few handy tips that can help add days to their beauty! 1. Cut the stem with sharp pruning shears. Place in fresh water containing floral food to promote flower opening. This should be repeated every 2 to 3 days. 2. Floral food is a combination of additives that help to nourish the flowers and discourage bacteria from growing in the water. It is one of the best—and easiest—ways to extend the life of your flowers. It is very important to follow the directions on the package correctly. Improperly mixed floral food can do more harm than good. 3. Make sure to keep your flowers away from heat as well as direct sunlight. Sympathy Flowers Freehold New Jersey NJ |
