Sanitation: Matters!

Botrytis: Keep petals DRY

Temperature: Avoid fluctuations

Ethylene Gas: Silent, but deadly!

Mix flower food with COLD water

Be Prepared: Make quick transfers

Hydration: Allow time (2 – 4 hrs min)

Dosing: Measure to get your money’s worth

No Ice: Serve your flower solutions straight up!

Peel guard petals only if blemished or diseased!

Stripping: Best performed in privacy of your home

Sugar: I love you (tuberoses, protea, lisianthus, peonies)

If you wouldn’t drink it, or out of it: Neither will your flowers
