Red Carnation Cube

Lengthen the Life of Your Arrangement
A little extra care can make a big difference for any size flower arrangement or fresh flower bouquet. Most floral arrangements last 4-7 days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive, if tended to. Here are the three top tips for looking after your flowers:
Water
Keep the vase filled (or floral foam soaked) with water containing the flower food we gave you. Flower foods make flowers last longer but it is important to follow the mixing directions on the flower food packet. Most packets are to be mixed with c a pint of water. Flower foods should not be diluted with more water than is specified on the packet.
Food
If the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely with properly mixed flower food solution. If possible, re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into solution. Be careful not to cut yourself!
Temperature
Keep flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators. Appliances like televisions give off heat, which causes flowers to dehydrate. Most flowers will last longer under cool conditions.
NB. Images show the standard bouquet. Deluxe bouquet has more flowers.
Ruby Red
In the enchanting world of flowers, red Carnations traditionally stand for "my heart aches for you" and are also closely associated with admiration. In this Carnation Cube, a typically traditional flower has been transformed into a modern and attractive display perfect for announcing to the world that Love is in the air.
This arrangement is presented in a 12cm black ceramic cube (depending on availability - a white ceramic cube may be substituted)
