Flower Care

We at Springvale Flowers take pride in sending you only the freshest flowers. Here is a handy guide to help you in preserving your arrangements and plants so that they look their healthiest for the longest period of time. With just a little bit of maintenance they should stay fresh for days to come. As always, if you have any questions about their care, please call us and we'll be glad to help you.

Floral Arrangements: Upon receiving your floral arrangement, check the water level. Add water daily, keeping the water level near the top of the container.

Freshly Cut Flowers and Boxed Roses: As soon as you receive them, add Floral-Food (provided) to a clean vase. Remove the leaves from the lower stem of each flower. Cut each stem at an angle, under running water, with a sharp knife so that the flower can "drink." Refill water daily or as needed.

Green Plants: Medium light locations are preferred by most green plants. This means light near a sunny window, but protected from direct sunlight. To determine medium light, place your hand one foot above the area you've chosen as the plant's home. You should get a distinct shadow.

• Moderately moist soil is best; avoid over-watering. Always allow a watered plant to drain freely. Never let the pot sit in water.
• Temperatures found in most homes are acceptable, but moderate locations are preferred. Ideally, 70 degree days and 50 - 55 degree nights.
