Cut Flowers

 Recut flower stems under water with a sharp knife. Remove a ½ ” – 1″ 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 your FTD® 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.
