Flower Care
Most floral arrangements last 4-7 days or longer, depending on the variety of flowers used and most importantly the care they receive after delivery. display them in a cool spot as heat is a flower killer
-
Most flowers prefer temperatures between 18 to 22 degrees Celsius and are best displayed away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators, which give off heat and can cause flowers to dehydrate.
-
Avoid placing fresh flowers near ripening fruit, which releases tiny amounts of ethylene gas that can age them prematurely.If you received a fruit basket with your flower order please remove the fruit from the arrangement as soon as possible.
-
Hospitals, Nursing Homes & houses where elderly people live are notorius for high heating levels, especially in the the winter months, therefore we recommend longer lasting flowers such as Liliums, Alstromeria & Natives.
