By following the instructions below, you will maximise the vase life and enjoyment of your flowers. Flowers that arrive in bud will open in 3-4 days.
Flower Care
Tied Bouquets
1 Carefully unwrap your flowers.
2 Remove the biodegradable moisture wrap and bag around the base of the
bouquet (do not untie the flowers yet)
3 Cut at least 2.5cm from the bottom of the stems at a 45 degree angle with snips or a sharp knife.
4 Remove all foliage from any stems that will be underwater.
5 Place your flowers in a large clean vessel 3/4 filled with cool clean potable water
and flower food. You can now cut and remove the tie if you like, or leave it in
place to maintain the bouquets shape and for easy removal of the flowers when
changing the water.

the water every 2-3 days.
