Tropical Flower Care
Flowers are cut farm fresh, professionally packaged for shipment
and should arrive in excellent condition. The instructions below will
help ensure you get the maximum flower life and enjoyment from your tropical
bouquet.
- It is important to unpack the flowers immediately. Do
not refrigerate.
- To restore plant cells and extend vase life, immerse
entire stems in water at room temperature for 10 minutes immediately
after cutting one-fourth to inch from each stem. Cutting at an angle
will allow maximum water absorption and make them easier to arrange.
- Always make sure your flowers have plenty of water as
tropical flowers typically need water. Misting flowers daily will help
to extend vase life and keep a fresh appearance. Change flower water
and trim flower stems every few days.
- To control flower water odor and prevent bacterial buildup,
you may wish to add a few drops of bleach into the water. Included in
your order is a supply of water clarifier and nutrient which should
be used as needed.
- Keep flowers out of direct sunlight and breezy areas
and maintain temperature above 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, avoid placing
flowers near fireplaces, stoves and strong drafts.
- Flowers may be arranged into one or more bouquets. Place
green foliage behind flowers and try to set the flowers at different
heights. Use a favorite vase and your artistic abilities to create your
own special island paradise!
Lei Care
After receiving your leis, spray lightly with water
as needed to moisten them. Do not over mist them so that they are dripping
wet. Put them into an airated plastic bag and place them in the vegetable
bin of your refrigerator if not too cold, or in a cool but not cold location.
The best temperature to store them is around 55 - 60
degrees F. Some vegetable bins are colder than the recommended temperature.
Leis should last for 3-5 days from the date we ship them. Remember, leis
will brown and be unusable if placed in too cold or breezy a location
-- please check your storage area for the proper conditions before placing
them into storage.
