Flower Care

1. Keep all foliages cool, EXCEPT tropicals.

3. Strip leaves from the bottom half of each stem.
4. Recut at least 2 cm off each stem and place in cold water.
5. Do not smash or split stem ends.
6. Use a preservative with autumn foliage as this will keep leaves looking fresh.
7. Preservative is optional in other foliages, but do NOT use with beech or asparagus fern.
8. Replace vase water with fresh preservative every day.
9. Misting is recommended.
