Care & Handling Guide: Remove the flowers from the box by cutting any straps located on the outside and inside of the box. Fill clean containers with at least 5 - 6 inches of fresh, cool water. Remove any leaves that fall below the waterline. Not removing the leaves may cause bacteria to form and shorten the flower’s life. Using sharp scissors or a knife, cut the stems diagonally approximately one inch under running water if possible. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared containers. Keep the flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts, or excessive heat/cold. Change the water and re-cut the stems every 3 days
