Instruction manual
1
A bouquet of not fully opened flowers with dense buds will stand much longer. Chrysanthemums and lilies will stand for a long time, and roses will retain their freshness longer if they are not mixed with other flowers.
2
Before placing flowers in a vase, tear off all the leaves and branches that will be in the vase. Also trim the ends of the stems just before immersion in water.
3
To preserve freshness, you can add to the water a purchased product for cut flowers or 1 tablet of aspirin per 1 liter of water.
4
You can not allow the flowering of water and the formation of mucus in it. To do this, it must be changed every 2 days. Water temperature should be slightly below room temperature.
5
To prevent the flowers from drying out and drooping, do not place them near heat sources such as a stove or battery.
6
Avoid freezing flowers. Even if you are carrying flowers from a store or apartment in a car, be sure to wrap the flowers in a newspaper or packaging material when the temperature is below freezing.
