Care

 To support longevity of your blooms, we suggest to:

• Unwrap and Reuse paper and twine if and where possible

• Keep flowers tied if you’d like arrangement to remain in tact, if you’d like to set your stems free, unknot the twine and reuse.

• Cut all stems on the angle. This ensures maximum surface area to absorb water

• Keep blooms away from the fruit bowl! Fruits and Vegetables have their own lifespan and release a chemical called ethylene gas, which speeds up the decay of flowers. So if you’d like longer lasting flowers, we suggest keeping them at a distance.

• Refresh water every 2 days…Avoid waiting until water is discoloured and smelly (I know I know, its easy to put off...but trust me, it REALLY makes a difference….A clean vase is a good start too!)

• Avoid using any flower foods…This is an old and in my opinion outdated technology. Essentially, what flower food does, is makes your flowers bloom faster, and in doing so, speeds up their lifespan (ie. They die just as quickly as they bloomed).

• Dispose of flowers appropriately.

• I encourage you to adopt Wabi Sabi approach. In Japanese Culture, the tradition of Wabi Sabi is fundamental. At the core of it, the culture finds beauty in the transient nature and impermanence of all things including imperfections. To value each stage of nature, and in life as they come. There is as much beauty in a beings life, as there is in it’s death. To follow and appreciate your flowers as they enter and leave each stage of their may teach you a thing or two, or perhaps to reflect upon in your own life…who knows!
