Tip of the Day

Calla Lilies
When you receive your calla lilies, mini or standard, please be sure to condition them properly. They need to be cut approximately 1/4 inch off the bottom and placed in room temerature water. Remember that the vases or buckets need to be clean. Also, the calla lilies only need two inches of water in there vase or bucket. Mini callas are shipped fully open so they should stay out two hours before being placed in refridgeration. Large callas should stay out between four and six hours at room temperature before being chilled.

Tip of the day

Today will be the beginning of our tip of the day.
Care and handling of flowers should be first on the list.
All flowers received have different little things you can do to enhance their vase life.
We will start with alstroemeria.
The flowers when you receive them are normally dry packed, meaning they have not had
water since they were cut at the farm. For this reason you should re cut the stems under
water and dip into floral Quick Dip, this will ensure that the flowers will uptake water in a
quick amount of time. You should then place your alstroemeria in a clean bucket of water
with the appropriate amount of preservative. Let your flowers stay out of the cooler for a minimum of one hour before placing in the cooler. Depending on the tightness of the flower
you may want to leave them out for 24 hours before placing in the cooler.
Here's to happy flowers!!
