Getting the most out of your flowers.

Here a few tips for getting the most from your flowers..... Always make sure your vase is clean.

Fill the vase two thirds full with clean cold water, add your flower food....Top Tip** Dont overfill the vase as this will casue the stems to rot prematurely.

Remove any foliage that will sit below the waterline, this will avoid build up of baddies and bacteria.

Trim (pref at a sharp amgel) 2-3cm from the bottom of the stems.

Change the water as oftern as possible to prolong the vase life of your flowers.

Choosing the right vase.....Pick a vase that half the height of the flowers, this will give your vase of flowers good a good proportion.

The best conditions.....Flowers prefer to be in cooler conditions, unlike us that like it cosy! Keep them away from drafts and heat sources such as radiators or fires. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight Top Tip**this is interesting, keep your flowers away from the fruit bowl, espically apples, fruit releases athylene gas which causes flowers to detetoriate.

Last but not least........ENJOY!!
