Cut flower care instructions
Control the water supply right away upon arrival. Fill a bowl or sink with water, fully plunge the stems underwater and cut them at a 45-degree angle using a knife, pocket pruner or scissors. Trimming your flower stem ends at a 45° angle will make sure that they have enough surface area to receive water and that they don't stand directly on the bottom of the vase.
Ensure vase water level often. Add water with preservative as required. If the water changes state to cloudy, replace the entire vase water with fresh flower food water. Change foliage that will sink under the water level in your vase. Often re cut stem bottoms 1/2". This fresh cut insures good water flow through the flower stem.
Wedding flowers
