GENERAL FLOWERS BOUQUET CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut the bottom of the flowers bouquet stems diagonally under running water, using a sharp knife
   WHY? This increases the surface area of the flower stem underwater, and allows the fresh flowers bouquet to draw in water instead of air
2. Remove all the leaves that fall below the water line.
   WHY? These leaves breakdown and decay, which promotes bacterial growth, which can block the stem and stop the flowers taking up the water
3. Arrange your flowers bouquet in a vase with lukewarm water mixed with the first packet of flower food
   WHY?   This will help the closed flower buds to start opening and help to prolong the life and beauty of your flowers bouquet
4. Place your flowers bouquet in a location away from direct sunlight, electrical appliances and drafts.
   WHY? Temperature is key to the lifespan of flowers. Appliances such as televisions give off heat, causing flowers bouquet to dehydrate.
5. On the 3rd Day - Re-cut stems, replace vase with fresh water adding the 2nd packet of flower food while removing any fading flowers.
   WHY? This helps to prolong the life and vibrancy of your flowers bouquet.
