• Unwrap your flowers and remove the hydration pack.
• Guard petals (slightly blemished or discoloured outer petals) on the roses are intentionally left on as they protect the bloom during transit. They can be easily removed, if you wish, though we often prefer to leave them intact as they add character and make the rose open nicer!
• Remove any extra leaves or foliage (if applicable) that would be below the waterline to avoid contaminating the water.
• Fill a clean vase with room temperature water and add a sprinkle of the provided flower food. Hang onto the package for future waterings.
• Trim the stems for best water absorption, remove the tie and place flowers in the vase.
• Change/add fresh water daily, adding a sprinkle of flower food to the water each time to prolong the life of your blooms.
• Fresh flowers enjoy natural light and to be in a cool, dry environment, just keep them away from direct sunlight and heat sources (like an oven or radiator).
  Summer heat note: Totally bring your flowers outside to accent your picnic or patio barbecues! Don't forget to bring the flowers back inside to keep cool - humidity and direct sunlight will wilt your bouquet.
• Some flowers will bloom faster than others and at different times. Remove stems as they expire to keep the others blooming bright!

Some ranunculus are delivered in more closed buds as they are fresh from the grower, which means you will be able to enjoy them for longer as they open over the course of a few days. Warmer water can accelerate the opening of the flowers should you wish for them to bloom faster. If you would prefer the flowers to be open for a special occassion or event, we recommend placing your order 3-4 days prior. 

Since we're dealing with nature, size may vary slightly but your blooms will be beautiful and fresh - guaranteed!
