Remove your flowers from their protective film and fresh bag.
Cut 2.5cm at an angle from the bottom of the stems before placing it into a vase of fresh water with the flower food. Remove leaves that fall below the water level.
If the arrangement is in foam, keep it topped up with water to stop it from drying out.
We recommend keeping the raffia in place, but for a looser style you can remove it altogether.
Avoid direct heat, sunlight and ripening fruit.
For maximum vase life, change the water regularly and re-cut stems if necessary.
In extreme heat ensure the water is changed daily.
