BOUQUETS
& ROSES
Place the Flowers immediately in clean water,
mixed the flower food provided by good florists or they'll dry out
and you've defeated the object of cutting. Remove leaves below will
rot, releasing harmful bacteria that kills flowers, as well as
consuming the nutrients needed by the flower head. Repeat the
process three or four days later, removing any wilting or dead
flower heads so that the water supply is sent to the buds or still
blooming flowers.
ROSES
If a rose starts to droop at the head, re-cut
the stem, wrap the head in paper to support upright and plunge 5 cms
of the stem into boiling water for about 30 seconds. Cut the stem
again and place in deep cold water for 2 hours.
LILIES
Lily pollen can stain. Please carefully remove
lily stamens from any newly opening blooms and avoid direct contact.
HAND-TIEDS
Release the water from the water reservoir by
cutting a hole in the cellophane over a sink. Remove all gift
wrapping. Do not untie your flowers. They have been specially
arranged and tied ready to be placed into a vase. Follow care
instructions as for Bouquets.
ARRANGEMENTS
Top up the container with water daily.
FRUIT
Fresh or artificial fruit is sometimes included
in flower arrangements for decorative purposes only. Do not remove
or eat as it may have been secured with wooden, plastic or wire
fixings.
CANDLES
These are for decoration only. To avoid the
risk of fire you are advised not to light them.
PLANTS
Most plants like light and an even
temperature. Avoid draughts, fumes and cold. Foliage plants require
little water in winter. Flowering plants generally need more water.
Water Azaleas and Hydrangeas daily. Water St.Paulia and Cyclamen
plants from the bottom and not the top. All plants should be
fertilized as required.
