General Flower Care Tips

Hydrangea
Hydrangeas like acidic soil and are gorgeous blooming shrubs with plenty of color June through December. They like full sunlight and good, rich potting soil kept evenly moist. Prune the plant in early spring.

Ivy
Ivy is easy to care for and likes to grow in bright but indirect sunlight. Mist occasionally and keep the soil moist.

Kalanchoe
Kalanchoe are succulents which grow best indoors in full sunlight. Avoid getting water on the leaves feed only twice a year. Use general purpose potting soil with a little bit of added sand.

A bit of Flower History
Flower arrangements care
Arrangements in green (Oasis) foam are easy to look after, however they will not last quite as long as cut flowers in water. Oasis foam arrangements are kept in a water-retaining foam, and upon receiving the arrangement you should gently pour clean water into the centre or back of the design. Wait until the water is absorbed by the foam and then add some more water. Keep doing this until the arrangement will take no more water. Having watered the arrangement, gently tip off any excess water, wipe and dry the base. Top up the arrangement with water each day.
As with other arrangements, do not place the arrangement in full sunlight or in a window and keep the arrangement away from draughts, radiators and TVs.
Spray the arrangement with a gentle mist of water daily and remove any old flowers from the arrangement. To rearrange any flowers, re-cut the stem ends under water using a sharp knife or scissors. Then, insert each flower back into the arrangement. Where foam has been used, be sure to insert the stems firmly and deeply.
