John Wolf Florist

Keep the vase filled (or floral foam soaked) with water containing a flower food offered by your florist. Flower foods supply sugars, balance ph and limit bacterial growth. It is significant to follow the mixing directions on the food packet. Most packets are to be mixed with either a pint or a quart of water. Do not dilute with more water than is specified on the packet. Check your arrangement daily to make sure it has plenty of clear fresh water. If possible, re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife or scissors that will not crush the stems.
