Care Instructions

Replenish the water frequently. Change the water entirely every 2-3 days.
Trim at least a half inch of stem off your flowers before you put them in a vase and each time you change the water.
Use sharp scissors when cutting.
Keep your flowers away from heat and bright light.
Avoid sitting your flowers beside ripening fruit or vegetables, especially bananas and apples.
After you throw out your last arrangement, be sure to wash the vase/container very thoroughly in hot soapy water or, better yet, in your dishwasher.
Use “flower food” for most flowers.

Use fresh flowers. Pick flowers to dry that are just starting to open to maximize their shelf life and reduce the risk of petal loss. Cut your flowers only after the morning dew has just dried.
Use healthy flowers. The healthiest flowers will hold their integrity for a longer amount of time, so make sure to pick flowers that are not wilted, damaged, or compromised for any reason.
Dry your flowers out of direct sunlight. Dry your flowers out of direct sunlight, because the light will cause the color of your flowers to fade.
Keep out of moisture. Choose a dry location free of humidity with a slight cross-breeze to dry your flowers.
Preserve your flowers with hairspray. Spritz your flowers with hairspray once they are dry to help the dried flower hold its shape and prevent petal loss.
