Cut flower care instructions

Verify vase water level every other day. Add water with flower food as needed. If the water becomes cloudy, change the entire vase water with clean preservative water. Replace foliage that will sink under the water line in your vase. Every other day re cut stems half inch. This fresh cut insures good water flow through the flower stem.

Control the water supply instantly upon arrival. Fill a bowl or sink with water, fully place the stem ends under the water and cut them at a 45° angle using a scissors, knife or pocket pruner. Trimming your flower stems at a 45 degree angle will ensure that they have enough surface area to receive water and that they don't sit flat on the bottom of the vase.
