You’re thinking… flowers need to eat just like me? What does that mean exactly? Sounds strange but yes, just like us, flowers need all the creature comforts in order to thrive. Say for example we were thrown into a harsh environment of extreme cold or heat, no water, no food. It’s clear we would not be able to withstand those conditions for long and we would expire. Like any other living things, flowers are no different. Flowers need proper conditions, hydration and most importantly, nourishment. Under the right circumstances cut flowers can last surprisingly longer than you might expect after harvest.<\/p>\n

Ever notice how much better you feel when you are eating a healthy, well-balanced diet? You’ve probably also noticed that when you aren’t being as mindful of your diet, your body begins to respond in different ways letting you know something isn’t working well. Flowers are no different. Give them the right nourishment and they stay fresh, vibrant, and looking fabulous. Flower food is an essential part of a flower’s wellbeing. Simply put, it feeds fresh-cut flowers with the nutrients they need but are no longer getting since they were harvested. Specially formulated to give flowers exactly what they need, with the right treatment flowers can pleasantly surprise you with how long they can last after harvest.<\/p>\n

Too much of anything isn’t good for you, right? If we spend too long in the sun, we can get a sunburn and dehydrated. Too long in low temps and we can freeze. Flowers are much the same with the exception they are unable to change their conditions as we can. Too cold and flowers can have frost damage which is irreversible. Too hot and it leads to stress and accelerated development which will result in a shorter shelf life. Placing flowers in drafts will dehydrate them. Placing them in direct sunlight can burn them. Given the right conditions though, such as good hydration, flower food for proper nourishment and of course the right environment and temperatures, flowers will most likely surprise you with how long they can last after harvest.<\/p>\n
Growers are always the first link in the chain, conditioning flowers as well as protecting them as much as possible from harsh or extreme temperature fluctuations before shipping from the farm. The next stop at the wholesaler or bouquet operation on their journey to you is no different. Maintaining the cold chain, as it’s known, is a key factor in the longevity of cut flowers. Arriving at your local retailer, the cold chain is maintained as flowers are conditioned and your retailer will take great care to avoid extreme heat, cold, or drafts when they are ready to put flowers on display. The last link in the chain is you! Once you get your beautiful flowers home and you’ve followed our recommended care steps, be sure to avoid placing your floral creation in extreme heat, cold, drafts, or direct sunlight to keep flowers fresh, vibrant, and healthy for the longest possible!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tUn vase propre, de l\u2019eau fra\u00eeche et des nutriments = des fleurs qui durent longtemps.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Like you, a flower is a living thing; “breathing”, feeding, hydrating is all in a day’s life of a cut flower. The first step to staying happy, healthy, and vibrant is keeping flowers in a clean environment so that the elements do not prevent them from hydrating and nourishing properly. How can you help? Keep the flowers’ environment, vase and cutting tools clean. Research shows that uncleaned containers and tools can reduce the vase life of a fresh-cut flower by up to 20%!<\/p>\n
Utilisez le sachet de nourriture avec la bonne quantit\u00e9 d\u2019eau \u00e0 temp\u00e9rature ambiante pour cr\u00e9er ce que l\u2019on appelle la solution de nourriture pour fleurs. Ce sachet contient les nutriments dont les fleurs ont besoin mais aussi il permet de garder la solution propre. Suivez les instructions de dosage sur l\u2019emballage.<\/p>\n
Les fleurs ont besoin d\u2019un vase propre, d\u2019eau \u00e0 temp\u00e9rature ambiante et de nourriture pour rester fra\u00eeches et belles. Bien qu\u2019elles puissent sembler d\u00e9licates, dans de bonnes conditions, les fleurs coup\u00e9es pourront vous surprendre quant \u00e0 leur dur\u00e9e de vie.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLes fleurs ont soif, donnez-leur ce dont elles ont le plus besoin\u00a0: de l\u2019eau et des nutriments\u00a0!\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Just like us, flowers need hydration and nourishment in order to thrive. Without them flowers will not have the energy to reach their full vase life potential and expire earlier than they should. Water and flower food are essential parts of a flower’s wellbeing. Flower food properly dosed and mixed with water is specially formulated to give flowers the nutrients that they need but are no longer getting since they were harvested. The right treatment makes all the difference in how long flowers can last after harvest.<\/p>\n
Growers are always the first step in a flower’s journey to fresh, taking great care when harvesting to hydrate stems before preparing for transport. When they arrive at the wholesaler or bouquet operation, flowers are conditioned once again before departing to your local retailer. At the retail level, flowers are conditioned as they are incorporated into designs or put on display for sale ready for you to take home for an amazing flower experience. Now it’s up to you to satisfy those flower cravings! How you care for your flowers once you get them home makes all the difference in how long you’ll enjoy them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLa nourriture pour fleurs maintient les fleurs nourries, hydrat\u00e9es et belles\u00a0!\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
You might be wondering why should you use flower food? Flower food is a vital part of a flower’s wellbeing after harvest. Simply put, it feeds fresh-cut flowers with the nutrients they need but can no longer receive since being harvested. When a flower is growing in the field, the leaves are acting as “sugar factories”, converting light energy from the sun, water from the soil, and CO2 (Carbon dioxide) from the air into sugars via the process of photosynthesis. These sugars provide the necessary energy for the flower to open and develop normally. Once the flower is cut from the mother plant and processed, the leaves are no longer efficiently producing sugars. Eventually the cut flower will need a flower food to supplement the sugars it can no longer produce. Given the right treatment, flowers can pleasantly surprise you with how long they can last after harvest.<\/p>\n
Les horticulteurs sont \u00e0 la base du bon soin des fleurs fra\u00eeches coup\u00e9es, lors de la r\u00e9colte ils hydratent les fleurs avant de les pr\u00e9parer et de les emballer pour exp\u00e9dition. Quand les fleurs arrivent chez les grossistes ou bouquetteries, le processus d\u2019hydratation se r\u00e9p\u00e8te, avec en plus l\u2019ajout de nourriture pour fleurs coup\u00e9es. L\u00e0, apr\u00e8s ce premier voyage, les fleurs sont reconditionn\u00e9es, afin qu\u2019elles arrivent chez le fleuriste aussi fra\u00eeches que lorsqu\u2019elles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9colt\u00e9es. Les fleuristes prendront ensuite soin de la fleur dans leurs compositions ou bouquets pour que vous en profitiez au maximum. Le dernier et le plus important maillon de la cha\u00eene, c\u2019est vous\u00a0! La fa\u00e7on dont vous prendrez soin de vos fleurs une fois \u00e0 la maison fera toute la diff\u00e9rence.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDosez-moi correctement ! Suivez les instructions au dos du sachet.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Generally speaking, it’s safe to say too much or too little of anything, even if it’s something your body needs, may not end up being good for you. Flowers and people are a lot alike in this respect, especially when it comes to nourishment. Giving flowers flower food so they are fed and nourished is one of the most important things you need to do to keep flowers fresh and vibrant. Too little won’t do the job and too much can actually have a negative effect. The best solution? Dose them right! Following the instructions on the back of your flower food packet for the right water to flower food ratio and your flowers can astonish you by lasting much longer than you might expect after harvest.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRetirez les feuilles susceptibles de tremper dans l\u2019eau.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Ever notice how quickly standing water turns “scummy” when plant material is in water? In just a day or so water with leaves submerged will quickly begin to grow bacteria causing the water to become contaminated. You certainly wouldn’t drink this water. Just like people, flowers need fresh water in order to stay healthy. Without it, their condition deteriorates quickly. One of the ways you can keep the water fresh is by removing any foliage that may fall below the water level. Keeping leaves above water level will help flowers stay hydrated and removing below will help water not to develop bacteria. Given the proper conditions, hydration, and nourishment flowers can last well beyond what you might expect after harvest.<\/p>\n
Les horticulteurs sont le premier maillon de la cha\u00eene. Lors de la r\u00e9colte, ils nettoient les tiges et les hydratent avant de les emballer pour le transport. Quand les fleurs arrivent \u00e0 leur prochain arr\u00eat chez le grossiste ou la bouquettterie, g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement des feuilles sont retir\u00e9es puis les fleurs sont reconditionn\u00e9es pour la livraison aux fleuristes. Chez votre fleuriste, \u00e0 nouveau des feuilles seront retir\u00e9es lors de la r\u00e9alisation de compositions ou de bouquets. Le maillon de la cha\u00eene le plus important\u00a0? Vous\u00a0!

Like you, a flower is a living thing; “breathing”, feeding, hydrating is all in a day’s life of a cut flower. The first step to staying happy, healthy, and vibrant is keeping flowers in a clean environment so that the elements do not prevent them from hydrating and nourishing properly. How can you help? Keep the flowers’ environment, vase and cutting tools clean. Research shows that uncleaned containers and tools can reduce the vase life of a fresh-cut flower by up to 20%!<\/p>\n

Just like us, flowers need hydration and nourishment in order to thrive. Without them flowers will not have the energy to reach their full vase life potential and expire earlier than they should. Water and flower food are essential parts of a flower’s wellbeing. Flower food properly dosed and mixed with water is specially formulated to give flowers the nutrients that they need but are no longer getting since they were harvested. The right treatment makes all the difference in how long flowers can last after harvest.<\/p>\n
Growers are always the first step in a flower’s journey to fresh, taking great care when harvesting to hydrate stems before preparing for transport. When they arrive at the wholesaler or bouquet operation, flowers are conditioned once again before departing to your local retailer. At the retail level, flowers are conditioned as they are incorporated into designs or put on display for sale ready for you to take home for an amazing flower experience. Now it’s up to you to satisfy those flower cravings! How you care for your flowers once you get them home makes all the difference in how long you’ll enjoy them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLa nourriture pour fleurs maintient les fleurs nourries, hydrat\u00e9es et belles\u00a0!\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
You might be wondering why should you use flower food? Flower food is a vital part of a flower’s wellbeing after harvest. Simply put, it feeds fresh-cut flowers with the nutrients they need but can no longer receive since being harvested. When a flower is growing in the field, the leaves are acting as “sugar factories”, converting light energy from the sun, water from the soil, and CO2 (Carbon dioxide) from the air into sugars via the process of photosynthesis. These sugars provide the necessary energy for the flower to open and develop normally. Once the flower is cut from the mother plant and processed, the leaves are no longer efficiently producing sugars. Eventually the cut flower will need a flower food to supplement the sugars it can no longer produce. Given the right treatment, flowers can pleasantly surprise you with how long they can last after harvest.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, it’s safe to say too much or too little of anything, even if it’s something your body needs, may not end up being good for you. Flowers and people are a lot alike in this respect, especially when it comes to nourishment. Giving flowers flower food so they are fed and nourished is one of the most important things you need to do to keep flowers fresh and vibrant. Too little won’t do the job and too much can actually have a negative effect. The best solution? Dose them right! Following the instructions on the back of your flower food packet for the right water to flower food ratio and your flowers can astonish you by lasting much longer than you might expect after harvest.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRetirez les feuilles susceptibles de tremper dans l\u2019eau.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Ever notice how quickly standing water turns “scummy” when plant material is in water? In just a day or so water with leaves submerged will quickly begin to grow bacteria causing the water to become contaminated. You certainly wouldn’t drink this water. Just like people, flowers need fresh water in order to stay healthy. Without it, their condition deteriorates quickly. One of the ways you can keep the water fresh is by removing any foliage that may fall below the water level. Keeping leaves above water level will help flowers stay hydrated and removing below will help water not to develop bacteria. Given the proper conditions, hydration, and nourishment flowers can last well beyond what you might expect after harvest.<\/p>\n

Ever notice how much better you feel when you are eating a healthy, well-balanced diet? You’ve probably also noticed that when you aren’t being as mindful of your diet, your body begins to respond in different ways letting you know something isn’t working well. Flowers are no different. Give them the right nourishment and they stay fresh, vibrant, and looking fabulous. Flower food is an essential part of a flower’s wellbeing. Simply put, it feeds fresh-cut flowers with the nutrients they need but are no longer getting since they were harvested.

Too much of anything isn’t good for you, right? If we spend too long in the sun, we can get a sunburn and dehydrated. Too long in low temps and we can freeze. Flowers are much the same with the exception they are unable to change their conditions as we can. Too cold and flowers can have frost damage which is irreversible. Too hot and it leads to stress and accelerated development which will result in a shorter shelf life. Placing flowers in drafts will dehydrate them. Placing them in direct sunlight can burn them. Given the right conditions though, such as good hydration, flower food for proper nourishment and of course the right environment and temperatures, flowers will most likely surprise you with how long they can last after harvest.<\/p>\n

You might be wondering why should you use flower food? Flower food is a vital part of a flower’s wellbeing after harvest. Simply put, it feeds fresh-cut flowers with the nutrients they need but can no longer receive since being harvested. When a flower is growing in the field, the leaves are acting as “sugar factories”, converting light energy from the sun, water from the soil, and CO2 (Carbon dioxide) from the air into sugars via the process of photosynthesis. These sugars provide the necessary energy for the flower to open and develop normally. Once the flower is cut from the mother plant and processed, the leaves are no longer efficiently producing sugars. Eventually the cut flower will need a flower food to supplement the sugars it can no longer produce. Given the right treatment, flowers can pleasantly surprise you with how long they can last after harvest.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, it’s safe to say too much or too little of anything, even if it’s something your body needs, may not end up being good for you. Flowers and people are a lot alike in this respect, especially when it comes to nourishment. Giving flowers flower food so they are fed and nourished is one of the most important things you need to do to keep flowers fresh and vibrant. Too little won’t do the job and too much can actually have a negative effect. The best solution? Dose them right! Following the instructions on the back of your flower food packet for the right water to flower food ratio and your flowers can astonish you by lasting much longer than you might expect after harvest.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRetirez les feuilles susceptibles de tremper dans l\u2019eau.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Ever notice how quickly standing water turns “scummy” when plant material is in water? In just a day or so water with leaves submerged will quickly begin to grow bacteria causing the water to become contaminated. You certainly wouldn’t drink this water. Just like people, flowers need fresh water in order to stay healthy. Without it, their condition deteriorates quickly. One of the ways you can keep the water fresh is by removing any foliage that may fall below the water level. Keeping leaves above water level will help flowers stay hydrated and removing below will help water not to develop bacteria. Given the proper conditions, hydration, and nourishment flowers can last well beyond what you might expect after harvest.<\/p>\n
