Caring For Your Bouquet

Carefully remove all the packaging.

If you want to keep the shape of your bouquet don't cut of the string that ties it, if you prefer to arrange your flowers yourself then remove the string.

Using a sharp clean blade or knife cut approx. 3cm off the stem at a 45- degree angle.

Fill the vase with fresh clean water.

Remove any leaves or fronds that fall below the water level, these will contaminate the water and kill your flowers.

Place the bouquet in a clean vase, so that the stems reach at least half way down.

Place the bouquet in a cool position, away from draughts, direct sunlight, heating or cooling appliances or vents.

Change water every few days and give the stems a little re-cut to ensure your flowers last.

Caring for your arrangement.

Do not allow the oasis to completely dry out or become water logged.

Check the water level each day and top up with water if required.

To prevent water damage, always place arrangements on surfaces that are non-porous, even better use a protective mat.

NB. Always place flowers in a cool position, away from any draughts, direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, appliances.

Lily pollen will stain. In case of contact dab off with cellotape, do not use water. Berries will also stain and must not be eaten.
