DO YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR MINNOW MAGIC LAST?
To make your flowers make you smile for longer, follow these easy rules:
- Please make sure they don't go thirsty and give your arrangements a top up of water once a day.
- Make sure they stay strong and don¹t wilt, by not leaving your arrangement near any direct heating or cooling.
- Sometimes your flowers can make a mess, so if you have lillies, simply remove the stamens as soon as they become visible.
- If you have a big beatiful bunch please then give the end of the stems a 2cm angled chop every 2-3 days.
- And remember, if you have tropical orchids, then they feed from their petals. So don't just water them, but spray their petals with a spritzer also!
If you follow these simple steps then your flowers will stay fresh for longer and continue to be.. more than flowers .. impressions.
