When deciding on a location for the plant, consider its preferred light & heat levels. For example, plants that like high humidity (eg: maiden hair ferns) will flourish in a bathroom.

Position plants away from strong heat or cold draughts.

Water most plants from below and provide good drainage.

Most plants prefer to dry out a little between thorough waterings.

Feed plants regularly with the appropriate food.

Give broad glossy leaves an occasional wipe with a damp cloth.

Pruning plants can encourage new growth.

Flowering plants kept slightly pot bound will produce more flowers.

Check your plants regularly for signs of stress, pests or disease & treat accordingly.

Remove dead leaves and flowers as they occur.

For Roses:
  • Scald the bottom of the stem of the roses in boiling water for approximately 30 seconds before placing them in a clean vase of fresh water to which you have added the Flower Food.
  • Refresh the vase and water daily. If roses begin to wilt, re-cut the stems.
  • If you have received your roses while at the office, they can be left in the box with the water vials until you arrive home.

For Tropical Flowers: (blooms include: Heliconia, Orchids, Anthuriums)
  • A regular misting with a fine spray and a wipe over with a damp cloth will ensure your tropical flowers retain their glossy foliage.


For Lilums:
  • To prevent pollen stains, remove stamens by gently pulling them up out of the flower with a tissue.
  • Pollen stains can be brushed off or capture the pollen with cellotape & remove. If pollen gets into the fabric, treat as you would an-oil based stain.

For Tulips:
  • Tulips continue to grow after they are cut, stretching towards a light source.
  • Turn your vase occasionally to ensure an even growth of your tulips.
  • Never mix tulips and daffodils as daffodils emit sap which can contaminate the water.
  • Add water regularly - tulips are a thirsty lot!
