Flower Care Tips
-
Recut flower stems under water with a sharp
knife. Remove a half inch to one inch portion of the stem, plus any
leaves that will be below the water line.
-
Always keep flowers in a cool location—away
from heat, drafts and direct sunlight.
-
Use floral preservative, available from Village
Florist to make your flowers last longer.
-
Without preservative, recut flower stems,
change the water, and clean container daily.
Floral Arrangements
-
Add water daily to bouquets arranged in floral
foam.
-
Place arrangements in cool place away from
heat, drafts and direct sunlight.
Flowers to Wear
-
Carry corsages and other body flowers in the
florist’s box to your destination. Pin or put them on once you’re
inside.
-
Guard flowers from sudden exposure to cold
air.
-
Always wear flowers blossoms up, stems down.
Green & Blooming Plant Tips
-
Follow directions on the plant card or ask
Village Florist for complete plant care instructions.
-
Place plants near a window with eastern or
southern exposure.
-
For green plants, use artificial light when
natural light is not available.
-
Do not place plants over radiators or in
drafts.
-
Keep the humidity in the room as high as
possible for blooming plants.
-
Thoroughly wet all of the soil and allow excess
water to run out of draining holes. Plants should never sit in
water.
-
Blooming plant soil should be moist; inspect
soil moisture daily.
-
Water requirements for green plants vary; check
the soil moisture weekly.
-
Avoid using softened water.
-
Avoid sprinkling water directly on leaves.
-
Plants grow best with proper light and
moisture, adequate temperatures and a little plant food. Use
fertilizer only when plants are actively growing.
