Flower Care Instructions

1. 1. Start with a clean vase.The cleaner your vase, the better. A dirty vase can have a high level of bacteria in it that can shorten the vase life of your blooms.

 

2. Open the flower food packet and add the contents to the vase.The flower food packet contains all the nutrients your flowers need and can increase vase life substantially.

 

3. Fill the vase with cool tap water, usually two-thirds full. Remember, not enough water will hamper your flowers’ hydration.

 

4. Remove lower leaves from each stem before adding to the vase. Leaves decay much faster underwater and can create bacteria which will shorten the life of your flowers.

 

5. Remove the “guard petal” from each rose.Any outer petal that is green or slightly discolored can be gently removed.  

 

6. Cut flowers under water for best results. Snip each stem to desired height at an angle.

 

Maintaining Your Flowers

BloomingEmotions.com delivers amazing Ecuadorian flowers, but they need your help. Follow these simple maintenance guidelines and you’re on your way to keeping the flowers healthy, for maximum enjoyment.

1. Trim each stem every few days. Stems will naturally brown over and decay a little which ultimately stops water intake. Snip the bottom of each stem to keep your blooms hydrated and full of life.

 

2. Keep the water clean. When the water becomes cloudy or discolored, change it. Dirty water will block the stems and hamper hydration. Be sure to add some flower food each time you refill.

 

3. No direct sunlight, drafts or ripening fruit around your flowers. This along with good air circulation will extend the life of your flowers.  And, no placing them on top of a television or radiator either.

 

4. When a flower begins to wilt, immediately remove it from the vase. Your flowers will naturally bloom and wilt at different times. Wilted flowers look sad and can harm your other flowers.  

 

5. Enjoy your flowers!   

 

Extra Special Care For Roses

If your roses begin to wilt, or are severely dehydrated, you may be able to revive them. Trim the bottom of the stem about an inch. Next, submerge the entire rose under water in a sink or bathtub. Allow the stem to absorb water for about 20 - 60 minutes before returning to the vase.
