*In the event that a substitution may be necessary to make certain that your flowers are delivered on time, we take the utmost care in assuring that your order is as similar to your original flower choice as possible even if this means substituting flowers of higher value.

Your Tweedia flowers are shipped directly from our farms with no water tubes. Before shipping your flowers, we prepare them for their journey with proper hydration methods. If your flowers appear sleepy and thirsty after their journey, it is absolutely NORMAL. Just follow these simple steps and your 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. If there is plastic wrapping remove in order to prevent condensation which leads to rotting.
2. Milk will bleed from the stems. To ensure that this sap does not ruin your flowers, dry it off quickly.
3. Fill containers with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water. 
4. Add floral food to prevent bacteria from growing in the water and to give added nutrients to the Bouvardia flowers. If you do not have flower food, it can be purchased at any local florist. 
5. Remove any leaves that fall below the water line. Leaves will mold or rot and cause bacteria to form and shorten the flower's life. 
6. Using sharp scissors or a knife, cut the stems under running water diagonally approximately one inch from each stem's bottom edge.
7. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared water.
8. Allow flowers at least 8 hours to hydrate well.
9. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. 
10. Change water every 24 to 48 hours or when the water becomes cloudy to keep flowers fresh.

Remember that exposing flowers to warm environments (outside, a hot room, etc) will help the flowers to bloom, and storing your Tweedia flowers in a cooler environment will slow down the opening process. Assure that your Tweedia flowers have sufficient water. The flowers will drink an exceptionally large amount of water upon arrival.
