Care for Flowers?

Isn’t it fun to receive flowers? The bell rings, and upon answering the door, you find a friendly delivery driver holding a gorgeous, artistic flower arrangement from Flowers On Main. Your day got instantly better.
After reading the card, you look for the perfect place to display your new bouquet of color, but, where to put it?
Did you know that keeping your vase of art away from heat will help your flowers last longer? Do not put them near a heater vent, on top of an appliance that gets warm such as a television or in direct sunlight during hot summer months. This will slow down the growth of bacteria in the water, and the high quality blooms from Flowers On Main will brighten your home even longer.
What else can you do to care for your flowers? You’ll want to change the water in the vase when you see it become cloudy. Each time you do this, cut the stems on the diagonal with a sharp knife. This will allow the flowers to drink the water more easily. It’s better to use a knife rather than scissors so that the end of the stem isn’t pinched closed. Also, if you receive a beautiful Flowers On Main wrapped bouquet, strip away any foliage that may be submerged when placing the blooms in water.
Now, you may be asking, “Do I need to put something in the water to keep it fresh?” Good question. The best thing to put into the water is the professional preservative which comes with every Flowers On Main masterpiece. If you run out of this, just keep the water clean. You can also add one tsp. of bleach to every one quart of water to kill bacteria. Contrary to popular belief, adding aspirin, Sprite, or sugar does not help preserve your flowers, and is unnecessary.
Now, all that’s left is to enjoy the fresh aromatic scent and unique colorful beauty of your Flowers On Main arrangement. Isn’t life great?
