Caring For Your Flowers

Look for your favorite flower in the bunch. Hold the flower just below the blossom. Lightly grip so you do not crush the stem or accidentally break the flower. Then, cut one individual stem at a time. Be sure to cut long stems, this will allow you to fit more in your vessel and is better for the plant. The length from your wrist to elbow is what we recommend. Lastly, gently remove the bottom ⅔ of the leaves, and place the stem in water right away

1.
We do not recommend leaving your flowers in a hot car and try to keep them out of direct sunlight.
2.
I am sure we have all smelled the terribly smelly old flower water. Just rinsing it out before the next use is not good enough. The most important thing to keep your flowers fresh is starting with a clean vase or jar at home. Using hot soapy water or even a touch of bleach to clean it after each use is super important. Bacteria in the water clog the stems’ ability to take up water and will drastically reduce vase life.
3.
Give the stems a fresh cut at a 45-degree angle before putting them in the clean vase(s) at home. This maximizes the surface area for water uptake.
4.
Be sure there are no leaves below the water line in the vase. This will cause the water to build bacteria quickly.
5.
Most people spend about an hour or so on the farm. We close at 5:00PM on Thursdays & Fridays, and 3:00PM on Saturdays and ask that you please give yourself plenty of time to pick your flowers.
6.
We recommend every 2-3 days changing the water and giving the stems a fresh cut on the bottom.
7.
Keeping the flowers away from direct sunlight will also extend their vase life.
