Caring for Your Flowers

1. Check the arrangement daily to see if the foam is still damp.
2. If dry, add ½ cup of water through the centre of the arrangement. 

If your flowers have been arranged in a container, it is more than likely your florist has used floral foam. This will need to be topped up to ensure that the foam does not dry out. Remove any spent flowers to inhibit the growth of bacteria.

If you have received Flowers in box, please check to see if floral foam has been used. If not, a water bag would be used for travel purposes.  In this case, the flowers will need to be placed in a vase to maintain longevity. 

For all floral gifts, choose where you display your flowers wisely. Keeping them out of direct sunlight, away from heaters and air conditioners, and also away from the fruit bowl will help extend the longevity of your blooms. Take care with pets as some flowers can be harmful if consumed.

1. Keep in a well lit room, but out of direct sunlight
2. Water approximately once a week 

Indoor plants prefer to be kept out of direct sunlight, but thrive in a well lit room. They can dry out easily with heaters or air conditioners, so misting plants with water regularly will help create some humidity. The bathroom can be an ideal room to help increase moisture. 

If a plant displays some yellowing in the leaves, it is generally a sign of over, or under watering. As a general rule, plants like to be watered once a week by watering over a sink, so that the water runs out of the drainage holes. The best way to tell is if you insert your finger into the potting mix - if it is damp, it won’t need watering. Always ensure that plants are able to drain any excess water away from the soil.
