Caring for your flowers and wreaths(faux,dried,preserved,fresh)

How to Care for Artificial Flowers:

Fluffing the Flowers: When you receive your artificial flowers, they may appear compressed from transportation. To restore their full, natural look, gently fluff up the petals and leaves.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Use: Some artificial flowers are designed only for indoor use or covered outdoor spaces. Before placing them outside, ensure they are labeled as "Outdoor Safe." These flowers are specially treated with UV protection to prevent sun damage and fading.

Cleaning and Storing Artificial Flowers:

Dusting and Cleaning: Remove dust from flower heads by gently shaking them, using compressed air, or wiping them carefully with a soft, dry cloth. To prolong their beauty, store artificial flowers away from direct sunlight .
Avoid Chemicals and Water: Refrain from washing your flowers or using chemical sprays, such as those for cleaning silk flowers or synthetic plant cleaners. These substances can weaken the glue holding the components together or damage your faux flowers.
Storage Conditions: Keep artificial flowers out of areas exposed to excessive heat and light, such as lofts and attics. Garlands and wreaths can be safely stored inside a closet or hung on a door.
Proper Drying: If your flowers were displayed outdoors, ensure they are thoroughly dried and aired out before storing.
Maintain Space Between Items: Allow sufficient room between arrangements when storing. Use separate containers when necessary to help preserve the shape of each piece.

Care for Dried Flowers

Dried flowers are a beautiful and low-maintenance alternative to fresh bouquets, whether as a gift or for your own home. Their rising popularity is due to their ease of care and long-lasting appeal. With proper attention, dried flower arrangements and wreaths can last for years.

Here are some tips to help extend the life of your dried flowers:

Keep Out of Direct Sunlight: Avoid placing dried flowers in direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration.
Avoid Humid Areas: Dried flowers do best in dry spaces like bedrooms and living rooms. Avoid placing them in high-humidity areas such as bathrooms or kitchens.
Handle with Care: Dried flowers are delicate, so be gentle when moving or arranging them.
Place in Low-Movement Areas: To avoid damage, display them in a spot with minimal movement or disturbance.
Keep Away from Children and Pets: Place your arrangements out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental damage.
Dust Regularly: Gently remove dust buildup using a small, dry brush or a hairdryer on a low, cool setting.

By following these simple care tips, your dried flowers will stay vibrant and beautiful for as long as possible.

Here are a few maintenance tips:

How to Store a Dried Floral Wreath

To safely store your dried floral wreath, wrap it gently in tissue paper and place it in a cardboard box. Add extra tissue around the wreath to prevent it from shifting and getting damaged.

Important Tip: Avoid using plastic containers for storage. Even dried flowers contain small amounts of moisture, and sealing them in plastic can cause colors to bleed or lead to mold growth.

Tips for Caring for Preserved Flowers and Leaves:

Keep Dry: Avoid water and humid environments, as moisture can damage preserved flowers.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade the colors.
Handle Gently: Preserved flowers are delicate; support them from the base to prevent breakage.
Keep Away from Fabrics: Avoid placing them near clothing or fabrics, as the colors may transfer.
Dust Regularly: Use a soft feather duster or a hair dryer on a gentle, cool setting to remove dust.
Store in a Cool Place: Preserve their longevity by keeping them in a cool, dry environment.
Low-Traffic Area: Place them in low-traffic spaces to minimize damage.
Dispose Responsibly: Preserved flowers are biodegradable and can be disposed of in garden waste.

Handmade outdoor wreaths require minimal care and can last up to a year. Simply dust them lightly as needed and store them in a dry box, away from heat and humidity.

Care for Fresh Flowers

To ensure your flowers last longer and remain beautiful, follow these care instructions:

Choose the Right Vase: Use a vase that is about two-thirds the height of the flowers and has a neck wide enough for air circulation. Keep vases clean, and opt for dark-colored glass to help prevent algae growth.
Add Flower Food: Use the cut flower food provided according to the instructions on the packet. This helps prolong the life and vibrancy of your flowers.
Prepare the Stems: Cut the bottoms of the stems diagonally with a sharp, clean knife or secateurs just before placing them in water. Remove all foliage that will be submerged to prevent decay.
Avoid Dehydration: Keep your flowers away from central heating, direct sunlight, large appliances, and drafts to prevent dehydration.
Keep Away from Fruit: Do not place flowers near fruit bowls, especially those with apples, pears, plums, or tomatoes, as they emit ethylene gas which can cause wilting.
Regular Maintenance: Every three days, recut the stems, clean the vase, replace the water completely, and add more flower preservative.
Remove Dead Flowers: Regularly remove any dead or dying flowers and any fallen foliage from the water to maintain freshness.
Enjoy the Buds: Some flowers may arrive in bud form to ensure they last longer and you can enjoy their full bloom over time.

Care for Fresh Wreath

When you receive your fresh Christmas wreath made from real foliage, it will bring the natural scents of the season into your home. Handmade from natural materials, these wreaths require some care to stay fresh throughout the holiday season. Here are a few essential tips:

Maintain Moisture: To keep your wreath fresh and fragrant, it’s crucial to prevent it from drying out. Spray the wreath with water weekly, focusing on the back and the needles. This helps the ends absorb more moisture.
Ensure Proper Ventilation: Wreaths last longer when hung on an outside door, as they need a constant flow of oxygen to remain green and fresh. If you plan to bring the wreath inside, keep it outside until you need it to ensure it stays fresh.

With these simple steps, your wreath will remain vibrant and aromatic throughout the holiday season

Boxed Flower Arrangements Care

Boxed flower arrangements are designed to be visually stunning and require minimal rearranging. However, to keep them looking their best, follow these simple care steps:

Check the Oasis Foam: Regularly ensure the oasis foam is moist. If it seems dry, carefully pour water between the blooms directly onto the oasis. Each box includes a liner to prevent water from leaking, so avoid overfilling to prevent damage to the box. Use a water bottle with a narrow opening for better control and to prevent spills.
Monitor Freshness: Flowers fade at different rates. Remove any wilted blooms promptly to prevent them from affecting the remaining flowers, as decaying flowers can shorten the lifespan of fresh ones.
Avoid Harsh Conditions: Keep your boxed flowers away from direct sunlight, heat sources, drafts, and fruits. Flowers last longer in air-conditioned environments. Protect them from direct sunlight, open windows, cooling vents, and ceiling fans, which can cause rapid dehydration.
Reuse the Box: The beautiful box can be repurposed as a storage container in the future.

Enjoy your beautiful flowers and wreaths!
