Before shipping your flowers, we prepare them for their journey with proper hydration methods. |em>If your flowers appear sleepy and thirsty after their journey, it is |strong>absolutely NORMAL|/strong>.|/em> Just follow these simple steps and the flowers will bloom delightfully. 

1. Remove flowers from box by cutting any straps. Do not remove the rubber bands holding the flowers together in a bunch. 
2. Fill containers with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water. 
3. Add floral food to prevent bacteria in the water and give added nutrients to the Carnation Flowers. If you do not have flower food, it can be purchased at any local floral supply or floral goods shop. 
4. Remove any leaves that fall below the water line. Leaves will mold or rot and cause bacteria to form and shorten the flower life. 
5. Cut stems diagonally approximately one inch from the stem's bottom edged.  Do so under running water with sharp scissors or knife. 
6. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared water. 
7. Allow flowers at least 4 hours to hydrate well. Carnations may take up to 12 hours to properly hydrate. 
8. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. 
9. To keep the flowers fresh, change the water every 24 to 48 hours or when the water becomes cloudy. Remember that exposing flowers to warm environments (outside, a hot room..etc) will help the flowers bloom, and storing your Carnation Flowers in a cooler environment will slow down the opening process. Assure that your flowers have sufficient water. The flowers will drink an exceptionally large amount of water upon arrival.
