Flowers are cut farm fresh, professionally packaged for
shipment and should arrive in excellent condition.
The instructions below will help ensure
you get the maximum flower life and enjoyment
from your tropical bouquet.

It is important to unpack the flowers immediately.
Do not refrigerate.

 To restore plant cells and extend vase life, immerse
entire stems in water at room temperature for
10 minutes immediately after cutting one-fourth inch
from each stem. Cutting at an angle will allow maximum
water absorption and make them easier to arrange.

  Always make sure your flowers have plenty of water as
tropical flowers typically need water. Misting flowers daily
will help to extend vase life and keep a fresh appearance.
Change flower water and trim flower stems every few days.

To control flower water odor and prevent bacterial buildup,
you may wish to add a few drops of bleach into the water.
Included in your order is a supply of nutrient which should
be used as needed.

Keep flowers out of direct sunlight and breezy areas and
maintain temperatures above 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
Also, avoid placing flowers near fireplaces, stoves
and strong drafts.

Flowers may be arranged into one or more bouquets.
Place green foliage behind flowers and
try to set the flowers at different heights.
Use a favorite vase and your artistic abilities
to create your own special island paradise!
