Tips Regarding Florist in Southport

Throughout our 20 years of experience, we've gathered numerous tips how to make the most of your flowers once you've taken them out of their protective wrapping. Some of these, you may already know. Others are bound to surprise you.

Always keep vases dry and clean. When storing them, place them upside down to ensure they're always completely dry.
If possible, use only glass vases. You can put these safely into your dishwasher, where the high temperature will make them as clean as possible. Don't use vases in crystal or metal as the water inside will get ‘dirty’ more quickly.
Fill your vase with enough water. Right from the tap is ideal, and don't worry if the water's hardness is relatively high. The flowers can take it.
Cut the stems at an angle. Then they won't be sitting flat on the bottom of your vase. This allows for better water intake. For cutting, use a knife instead of scissors.
Ensure that leaves don't touch the water, to keep them from rotting.
Try to find the ideal location for the flowers. They should have enough light. Don't place them in the vicinity of air streams or air conditioning as this will evaporate the water in your vase quicker.
Never keep fruit near your flowers. Certain fruits such as kiwis, bananas and apples produce ethylene which speeds up the rotting process.
Remove any dead flowers from the bouquet. Not only are they unattractive, but they spoil the water.
Refresh the water after six days and retrim the stems.
