FRESH FLORAL CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Maintaining Your Flower Arrangement
Upon receiving your floral arrangement, always check the water level. If needed, add water into your vase, ensuring that all stems are submerged. It is important to keep your arrangement away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. To keep your flowers hydrated, trim the stems every few days and refresh with clean water.
Helpful Tips For Keeping Your Flowers Blooming Longer
If you’re looking to have your flowers fresh for a few extra days, try these tips to make your blooms last longer.
1.
Remove greenery on floral stems before you add to vase ( this is done by us but a good pro tip!). Foliage in water can cause bacteria to grow & decrease the longevity of your flowers.
2.
Use room temperature water in your vase. Add flower food prior to putting your flowers in your vase.
3.
Trim your florals daily to keep flowers hydrated, ensure you replace with fresh clean water to keep your flowers happy.
4.
Be sure to keep your floral arrangements out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures.
PLANT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Feel the Soil to Know How Often to Water Your Plants
For potted plants at home, you may be unsure of how often to water them. For most plants, the golden rule is to see if the first inch or so of soil is dry. If dry, this is an indication that the plant needs water. If there are leaves that have shriveled or are dry/discoloured, the plant might need a little extra water than a regular routine.
2. It’s Better to Underwater Your Plants Than Overwater Them
A plant can recover faster from being deprived of water than one given excess water. To rescue an overwatered plant, you may need to repot the plant and remove any unhealthy roots and over watered soil before moving the plant into a new pot.
3. Houseplants Love Stability
We recommend scoping out where you’ll put your plant in your house before picking one out. Plants thrive once they are used to their surroundings and finding a spot with the right amount of light is important. Temperature is also important. Fluctuating temperatures will shock your plant and therefore lead to the plant not being able to develop and maybe even die. Most plants prefer temperatures of 18-25C.
4. Smaller Plants Are the Fastest Growing Plants
When buying your chosen plant, it’s always better to purchase a smaller plant over a larger one. This is because a smaller plant will be able to get more established in its home and have a larger ratio of roots to top growth. A larger plant will not continue to grow until its roots catch up with the top growth.
5. Keep an Eye Out for Yellow or Droopy Leaves
Feel free to reach out and ask us if you're concerned about your plant and we can try and help navigate him or her back to good health! We can advise what fertilizer you might want to try.
6. Dust Your Plants!
Plants that collect too much dust on their leaves can’t get the sunlight they may need to survive. A few times per year, use a wet cloth and lightly wipe down the leaves of your plants on both sides.
