Almost every plant needs a different watering schedule so it’s always a good idea to research your plants if you’re unsure. As a general rule, always water gently, allowing your plants to drink- not swim! If the leaves look floppy or dehydrated, give your plant a drink. If the soil feels damp, your plant should be okay for a few days.
Why can’t I mix Daffodils with other cut flowers?
Daffodils are poisonous to other flowers. A milky sap leaks from their stems that pollutes the vase water and causes other flowers to decompose.
How do I water my arrangement?
Flowers love water so don’t be afraid to pour water directly over your arrangement. Topping up the water level everyday will flush out any old water and prevent the hassle of having to remove the flowers from the vase to properly clean it out.
Why should I remove leaves that fall below the water line?
Leaves and foliage that remain underwater will rapidly decompose. This creates harmful bacteria that shortens the life of flowers and causes the water to smell really bad!
Does misting my tropical flowers really help them live longer?
Yes! Tropical flowers are grown in humid environments and can absorb moisture through their petals. By misting them with water every day or two, you can temporarily re-create their natural environment, keeping them healthy and hydrated for longer.
