Cut flower care instructions

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

Make sure that the container, liner or vase are filled with fresh water. For better results, you should use floral preservative, if you've got one. Mix the preservative with lukewarm water, in the proportion advised on the box. Even if the container has floral foam, you ought to keep the water level high to achieve long lasting flowers.
