Care
Buy fresh flowers that have been properly treated by the grower. This will give a longer vase life. Select a clean vase and fill it with tap water (room temperature).
Add cut flower food (Chrysal, Floralife, Vaselife) to the water for a longer vase life. Trim 3 to 5 cm diagonally off the stem with a clean and sharp knife or secateurs.
Make sure there are no leaves hanging in the water.
Do not place flowers in a draught, in full sun or near a source of heat.
Regularly top up with tap water.
Do not place the flowers near a fruit bowl. Fruit emits ethylene gas which will cause the flowers to age more rapidly. Watch out for flowers that are insufficiently ripe: they will open less successfully.
For floral work: soak florist's foam (oasis) thoroughly and add cut flower food (Chrysal, Floralife, Vaselife) to the water.
