Additional Information
Please Note
Your greenery will arrive looking thirsty and sleepy. This is completely NORMAL. Please see our Flower Care tab on this page to learn how to properly care for and handle your flowers.
As flowers are a natural product of Mother Nature and monitor resolutions can differ, the exact color tones of this flower may vary to some degree.
Package contents and prices are based on availability and may change due to weather and market conditions. If a substitution is necessary, we take great care to ensure your order closely matches your original flower choice, even if this means substituting flowers of higher value. While we will make every effort to contact you, there may be rare instances where we are unable to reach you in time. In such cases, we may proceed with substitutions to ensure your order ships on schedule, even without prior verbal confirmation.
Caring for Your Greenery
Greenery is shipped fresh directly from our farms to your doorstep. If your greens appear "sleepy" or "thirsty" after their journey, this is completely normal. Follow the steps below to help them rehydrate and stay fresh.
Greenery Care Steps – From Arrival to Use
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect
Unpack Promptly: Open your boxes as soon as they arrive and remove any straps or outer packaging such as foam or paper.
Inspect Your Greens: Look over your greenery for any concerns before continuing with processing.
Step 2: Prepare the Containers
Use Clean Buckets: Choose buckets or containers that are clean and free from soap residue or bacteria. Rinse with warm water if needed.
Add Water: Fill each container with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water. If flower food is available, follow the packet directions and mix it in.
Step 3: Trim and Place in Water
Remove Packaging: Take off any rubber bands or plastic sleeves protecting the greens.
Remove Foliage Below the Waterline: Strip any leaves that will fall below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
Trim the Stems: Use clean, sharp floral shears or scissors to cut about 1 inch off each stem at a diagonal under cool running water. Avoid using household scissors, which can crush the stems and limit water absorption.
Place Immediately: After trimming, place the stems directly into the prepared water.
Step 4: Hydrate and Maintain
Hydration Time: Allow your greenery to hydrate for at least 4 hours — 8 to 12 hours is ideal.
Monitor Water Levels: Greens drink heavily when they first arrive, so check water levels frequently and refill as needed.
Avoid Overcrowding: Ensure each container has enough space for the amount of greenery you're processing. Overcrowding can lead to damaged stems and leaves.
Storage Conditions: Store hydrated greenery in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, heat, or drafts until you're ready to use it.
Step 5: Refresh and Use
Change Water Daily: Refresh the water every 24 hours to keep your greens fresh and bacteria-free until use.
