Cut Flower Care

(NAPSI)-

• Arrange the flowers in a deep-vase filled with luke-warm water, then mix in the floral preservative provided by the florist.

• Remove all leaves from the stem that would fall below the waterline in the vase as they will promote bacterial growth.

• Use a knife or shears to cut an inch from the bottom of the stem while holding it under water. This allows the stem to draw in the water, instead of air.

• Keep cut flowers and arrangements looking fresh by adding warm water to the vase every day. Always keep the vase full and change the water every three to four days.

• For maximum flower longevity, recut the stems whenever you change the water. Keep the vase in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight and heating or cooling vents.
