Fil the container with fresh,
room temperature water until it
is two-thirds full. There should
be enough water to submerge
all the stems without liquid
overflowing.

not available, use sugar - it is
essentially the same thing!

CLEAN
Clean off any damaged blooms,
leaves or foliage that fall below
the vase waterline. If left they
will disintegrate and cause the
water to turn brown.

Special Tips for Special Flowers
Roses
To maximise the longevity of your roses, avoid keeping them close to fruit and vegetables,
especially apples. The ripening fruit lets off small amounts of ethylene gas which can accelerate
aging of flowers - find a well ventilated spot away from direct sunlight to achieve the perfect
balance.
Orchid
Orchids often suffer from over-watering. Be sure to keep your orchid plant healthy by using the
ice-cube watering technique. Simply place an ice cube directly onto the orchid roots and leave it
to melt. This will help to improve water absorption and prevent root-rot.
Lilies
Lilies are notorious pollen producers - to avoid damage to the delicate petal fibres and ensure
that your lilies remain fresh for longer, it is advisable to carefully pluck the pollen from each of
the stamens, taking care not to allow the pollen to touch the petals.
