Cut Flower Care
Inspect the Water
Make sure your vase is filled with cool water & stir in flower food according to packet. Ensure the water in the vase is clear. If not, replace right away. Flowers drink a lot, so top up the water regularly.
Vase Location
Position your flower arrangement in a cool, draft-free area. Avoid direct sunlight and places like directly under ceiling fans, on top of radiators, or on windowsills with the heating vent below.
Water Change
Every 2 days, carefully pour out the old water and replace it with fresh, cool water. The flowers get pretty thirsty; this is especially true for the first couple of days. Upon arrival, place flowers in a full vase of water. Be sure to check water level twice a day, especially the first two days. Our flowers are cut and delivered very fresh, therefore still very much alive and thirsty!
Remove Wilting Flowers
Regularly inspect the arrangement for wilting or dead flowers and remove them as they can produce bacteria and kill the other flowers. Foliage sitting in the water will rot and make the flowers in turn rot. Plus, it makes the water icky and stinky, keeping the water foliage-free will keep the water clear and fresher longer.
Avoid Fruit
Don't place your flower arrangement near fruit. The ripening fruit releases small amounts of ethylene gas which can reduce the longevity of your floral arrangement. The release of ethylene from the fruits/veggies can affect the flowers and cause them to wilt and wither away much faster.
Orchid Care
Sunlight
Position your orchid in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. At least 6 hours of indirect sunlight (bright shade) a day. An east-facing window is best.
Water Sparingly
Water sparingly to avoid over watering. 1oz of water PER STEM every 14 days (2 oz for a double orchid, 3 oz for a triple orchid, etc). Pro Tip: Most people tend to overwater their orchids...if anything, it's best to underwater them!
Succulent Care
Water Sparingly
Water sparingly to avoid over watering. 1oz of water every 10-14 days. Also know that succulents have a dormant period when don't need as much water then. Generally this is in the cooler months of the year. Since they aren't actively growing, they don't use up as much water. You should only be concerned about dying leaves if the newest or uppermost leaves on your succulent are shriveling. If it's just the ones near the bottom of the stem (closest to the soil), you don't have anything to worry about!
