CARE
OF FLOWERS
ANTHURIUMS As soon as receiving
flowers, cut off a half-inch from bottom of each stem.
Immediately immerse the entire flower, including stem, in cool tap
water for at least 15 minutes and arrange. If you want to have
flowers last a week or longer, repeat the soaking process every
three days. Anthuriums should be kept with stems in fresh
water at room temperature (never below 55F). Mist heads with
water daily and keep them from direct breezes from air conditioners
and heaters. AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT (EVEN THROUGH
WINDOW). NEVER
REFRIGERATE.
DENDROBIUM ORCHID Cut half inch off from
bottom of each spray; immerse in cool tap water, both flower and
stem, for at least 5 minutes. Arrange, and repeat process
every three days, or place spray in container, which allows two
inches of the stem to be covered with water. Refrigerate until
ready to use them. AVOID DIRECT BREEZED FROM AIR
CONDITIONERS AND HEATERS
HELICONIAS Remove leaves from stem, cut off bottom inch of
the stem and place immediately in fresh water at room
temperature. To improve the appearance of the bracts, wash
them in water with a little detergent and rinse them with fresh
water. DO NOT REFIGERATE
HELICONIAS.
BIRD OF PARDISE Cut off the bottom inch of the stem and
immediately place in fresh water at room temperature. To bring
out extra flowers, insert your thumb inside the unopened sheath
through the open upper part of the sheath. Gently remove the
membrane that separates each flower by cutting it off.
REFRIGERATE UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO
USE.
GINGERS Cut off one inch from bottom of each
stem. Completely immerse the flower, stem and all, in fresh
water at room temperature for 15 minutes. DO
NOT REFIRGERATE GINGER.
HAWAIIAN FOLIAGE Upon receipt of foliage,
trim off one-inch from bottom of each stem and immerse foliage in
fresh water at room temperature for 15 minutes. Keep stems in
two inches of water in container. REFRIGERATE
