For Care & Conditioning:
- Use a lean vase.
- Hold each ilex next to the vase to determine how much of the stems to remove.
- Cut the stem at a 45-degree angle so it’s easier for the flowers to absorb water and stay healthy.
- When cutting stems, cut them under water to prevent nasty air bubbles.
- Don’t forget to drop the included flower food in your vase of ilex.
- Recut the stems each time you change the water and get rid of any leaves that dwell under the waterline
- Don’t put your ilex in an area that has abnormal heat sources, direct sunlight or cold drafts from the A/C.
- Give your ilex room-temperature water to sip on.
- Change the water at least every two days and remember to re-cut your stems each time you do.
- To fight off bacteria, add 1/4 tablespoon of bleach per litre of water in the vase.
- If you are out of flower food, you should use one tablespoon of sugar to keep your ilex feeling in tip-top shape.
Mayflower Market flowers are sold in bunches as indicated above and wrapped in brown paper, tied with raffia (very much similar to flowers purchased from a street vendor or market in Europe) and delivered to you ready to pop into your favorite vase & brighten up your home or workspace.
