HOW TO ARRANGE THE FLOWERS
Step 1: Remove the Sleeve
Start by carefully removing the sleeve and rubber band. This will give you a clear view of the beautiful bouquet you’re working with! .
Step 2: Remove Leaves & Stems
Clean your flowers by removing excess foliage or wilting leaves and stems. Any leaves in the water can create bacteria that will shorten the life of the blossoms. Flowers also lose their “Chi” when they dry and can drain a home’s energy so it’s important to keep them looking as fresh as possible.
Step 3: Chop the Stems
For best results, cut the stems with a scissor or knife at a 45-degree angle about one to two inches away from the bottom. This allows them to better absorb water. Make sure not to crush the stems as this can prevent water absorption.
Step 4: Drop into Vase
Drop the freshly trimmed stems into your favorite vase. Make sure your vase is large enough to house the bouquet. Additionally, it’s important not to overstuff the vase so that the flowers have room to bloom. Don’t forget to change the water every couple of days!
