Remember
- Your vases must be kept clean: using bleach or a proprietary cleaner will pay dividends
- It is always best to use fresh, lukewarm water. Lukewarm water has less oxygen, so there is less risk of air bubbles in the stem stopping the flowers from drinking the water
- The sachet of cut flower food will feed and protect the flowers so use it
- Not to put flowers in bright sunlight, on TVs, by radiators or near Agas!
Don't forget to
- Check the vase water level regularly. Topping up as necessary
- Change the water if it is polluted and use some more flower food
- Re-cut the stems after a week, as this helps water uptake
- Remove faded flowers as they appear
