| Our exotic, tropical flowers have a very long vase-life. The life of
the flowers is dependant a great deal on the way you handle them once you
remove them from the shipping box. Instructions: Please remove the flowers from the box immediately upon receipt. Cut about 1/2 inch from the end of the stem. We have found the best thing to do next is to immerse the flowers in a tub of clean, fresh, room-temperature water for 15 - 20 minutes, if at all possible. (This will rejuvenate them. It is not an absolutely necessary step if you have no means, but it will assist in prolonging their lives. If the flowers are wilted, this IS a necessary step.) When you are ready to arrange the flowers in a vase, you will want to use clean, fresh, room-temperature water. Be sure to keep an adequate amount of water in the vase. The fresher the water, the longer the life. So, if you change the water regularly (even daily, if possible) you will help increase the life. When you do change the water, cut the bottom of the stem a little. This also increases the life of the flowers. These flowers will live the longest if they are not directly exposed to sunlight. They also do not like air conditioning; if they are in an air-conditioned room, you will definitely want to keep the air from blowing directly on them. When the Ginger flowers become old, they will start getting dark at the tip of the flower. You can pinch the dying part away; this gives the flower a renewed look and makes it so you can enjoy it longer. If a flower dies, just remove it from the arrangement. You will find that you really do not need many flowers to make a beautiful arrangement. Even one flower in a small vase with some foliage can be exquisite. We would really appreciate hearing from you, if you experiment and find other ways to prolong the lives of these flowers, or anything else you discover along the way that will assist others to increase their enjoyment. |
