​Flower Care 101​
​

1. ​Fill containers with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water.
   
2. Pour flower food in the water depending on size of the container, add more or less depending.
3. Using scissors or a knife, cut the stems diagonally approximately an inch from each stem's bottom edge.
4. Immediately after cutting place stems in prepared water. 
5. Allow flowers at least 1 hour to hydrate well. 
6. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. 
7. Change water every 3 days to keep flowers fresh.
8. Assure that you have sufficient water in the vase as the flowers will drink an exceptionally large amount of water upon arrival.​​
9. For the specific case of lilies, remove stamen (in the center of the flower) to avoid stains on flowers or clothing.
