Flower Bouquet Care
Seasonal & Native Bouquets
Bouquets are easy to care for. Simply cut off 1 cm off the stems and change the water daily, keep them out of direct sunlight and in a cool room. You can put a couple of drops of bleach in the water to keep down the bacteria and a teaspoon of sugar to feed them if you wish. This will help you flowers last longer.
And most of all... enjoy your beautiful gift.
Flower & Succulent Bouquet Care
Succulent Bouquets.
We offer a beautiful range of bouquets with succulents in them and the are very easy to care for. Follow the instructions for the seasonal bouquet.
When the flowers have pasted... remove the succulents from the sticks they are on. Place them on soft soil in the garden or pot in a semi shade persition. They will grow even without roots with regular watering.
Enjoy.
