Things you'll need
-
A large vase (trust us, our flowers are long).
-
We recommend a tall, 12" clear glass vase that is at least 5" wide.
-
Remember to wash the vase with anti-bacterial cleaning soap every time you change the water and before its first use.
-
Scissors.
-
In a pinch, you could work with almost anything. But professional pruning scissors will allow you to cut three to four stems at a time.
-
We recommend the Felco F-2. It’s used by the farm, friends, and family alike.
-
Water.
-
Tap water that is high in fluoride and sodium is toxic for roses. Just something to keep in mind in case you live in a city that has added fluoride to its water supply.
-
Change the water every time you trim the stems, every two days.
-
Flower food.
-
Don't worry about purchasing this. We’ll send over two packs of our recommended flower food.
-
Use one pack per arrangement, every time you change the water.
-
Cold air.
-
Avoid heating vents and direct sunlight. Find the coolest part of your home to place your vase and we promise your flowers will last longer.
