To properly care for your greenery, please follow the instructions below:

1. Open your box of greenery and inspect.*
2. Ensure that your flower buckets are clean and disinfected.
3. Fill the buckets with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water. If you have flower food follow the instructions on the packet to prepare your water.
4. Ensure that you have sufficient room in each bucket for the amount of stems you will be storing. Overstuffing may cause damage to stems and leaves.
5. Remove greenery from box by cutting any straps.
6. Remove any stem bunch packaging material, including plastic sleeve and/or newspaper.
7. Cut stems diagonally under running water with sharp scissors to desired length.
8. Remove any foliage that lies below the water line to prevent bacteria from entering through the water.
9. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared buckets.
10. Allow greenery at least 4 hours to hydrate well. It may take up to 12 hours to properly hydrate.
11. Keep greenery away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat.
12. Change water every 24 hours to keep greenery fresh. Be sure that your stems have sufficient water. They will drink an exceptional amount of water upon arrival.
