Cut flower care instructions

Keep the container, vase or liner filled with fresh water. For great results, you should use floral preservative, if you have one. Combine it with moderately warm water, in the proportion advised on the package. Even if the container has floral foam, it is better to keep the water level high to promote long lasting flowers.

Check the water supply straightaway upon arrival. Fill a sink or bowl with water, completely plunge the stems under the water and cut them at a 45 degree angle using a scissors, pruner or knife. Cutting your flower stem ends at a 45-degree angle is going to guarantee that they have adequate surface area to receive water and that they don't stand directly on the bottom of the vase.
