Flower Care

🌸 Flower & Plant Care Guide

Helping You Enjoy Your Gift for Longer

💐 Bouquets & Mixed Flowers

  • Carefully remove any cellophane – it may contain water to keep flowers fresh in transit.

  • Cut stems at a 45° angle, about 3cm from the ends.

  • Stand the bouquet in deep water for at least one hour in a cool, shaded place.

  • Fill a vase with clean water and add the provided flower food.

  • Place flowers in the vase and top up water regularly.

  • Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and draughts.

  • Some flowers may arrive in bud – this ensures longer-lasting blooms!

🌹 Roses

If rose heads begin to droop:

  1. Re-cut the stem.

  2. Wrap the head in paper to support it upright.

  3. Submerge 5cm of the stem in boiling water for 30 seconds.

  4. Re-cut the stem and place in deep, cold water for 2 hours.

🌸 Lilies

  • Lily pollen can stain. Gently remove stamens from newly opened blooms.

  • Avoid contact with clothing and soft furnishings.

💧 Hand-Tied Bouquets

  • Release the water reservoir by cutting a hole in the base over a sink.

  • Remove gift wrapping but do not untie the stems—they are professionally arranged.

  • Follow standard bouquet care instructions.

🪴 Arrangements (in Foam or Container)

  • Top up the water in the container daily.

  • Keep in a cool area, away from heat and direct sunlight.

🕯️ Candles

  • Candles are for decoration only. Do not light, as they may pose a fire risk.

🍎 Fresh Fruit in Arrangements

  • For display only. Do not consume.

  • Fruit may be secured with fixings and is not food safe.

🌿 Plants

  • Most plants prefer light and an even temperature.

  • Avoid placing in draughts, near radiators, or in smoky areas.

  • Watering tips:

    • Foliage plants need minimal water in winter.

    • Flowering plants (e.g. Azaleas, Hydrangeas) may require daily watering.

    • St. Paulia & Cyclamen – water from the base, not the top.

  • Fertilise as recommended for the specific plant type.

⚠️ Safety Advice

  • For display only. Do not consume any part of the arrangement.

  • Keep flowers and plants out of reach of children and pets.

  • Some flowers and plants may cause irritation or be toxic if touched or ingested.

  • Avoid placing arrangements on unprotected surfaces, as moisture may damage furniture.
