Cut flower care instructions

Control the water supply at once upon arrival. Fill a bowl or sink with water, completely plunge the stems under the water and cut them at a 45° angle using a scissors, pruner or knife. Cutting your flower stem ends at a 45 degree angle will guarantee that they have sufficient surface area to take in water and that they don't sit flat on the bottom of the vase.

Ensure vase water level regulary. Add water with flower food as needed. If the water changes state to cloudy, replace the entire vase water with new preservative water. Change foliage that will fall below the water line in your vase. Often re cut stem bottoms 1/2". This insures good water flow through the flower stem.
