Cut flowers |
Cut off stems with a sharp knife, scissors
or secautiers about (2.5cm/1inch). Remove any leaves/foliage that
will be below the water level. Place them in deep, clean water in
a clean container prior to arranging them, Let them have a good drink
for a couple of hours (overnight if possible). |

Roses |
Follow the cut flower guide above. If
roses wilt/flop, wrap in newspaper including heads, re-cut and plunge
stems in aprox 2" of boiling water for aprox one minute then
plunge into deep water. Leave for 2 hours. This should wake them up
and bring them back to life. |

Hand-Tied arrangements |
Follow the cut flower guide. However, if
delivered in water, pierce film over sink and allow to drain before
undoing ribbon. Then follow the cut flower guide (don't untie your
hand-tied as you will spoil the arrangement of your flowers). |

Aqua Hand-Tied arrangements |
Most aqua hand-tieds come in a nice presentation
box because they are intended for someone that has no vase or for
someone that leads a busy life style, also a great favourite for the
hospital deliveries. If this is the case then all you need to do is
simply add water slowly to the center of the flowers, approx. half
a mug every 5 days. You should get approx. 2 weeks from an aqua hand-tied
arrangement depending on the type of flowers used. |

add a little water daily. |

near radiators, draughts or hot locations such as a mantle place.

Caution... |
Some flowers and foliage may be toxic or
cause skin irritations. Keep out of reach of children. Always wash
your hands after handling plants. Lily stamens are known to stain
permanently - avoid contact with all surfaces (you may prefer to remove
stamens). |
