5 Steps to Extend Fresh Flower Life

As a talented florist, you strive to keep your customers happy and coming back for more. But we understand that with the wide range of Floralife® care and handling products available, it can feel overwhelming to determine which ones to use and when.

Fear not! We’ll help you select the right Floralife® products to enhance and prolong the lifespan of your floral masterpieces using Floralife®’s 5 Steps of Fresh. Imagine the delight on your clients’ faces with a vibrant, fresh bouquet that lasts for days.

Step 1: Sanitize

When it comes to enjoying the beauty of long-lasting flowers, maintaining proper hygiene is an essential and often overlooked step. Microscopic organisms can be found on your cutting tools, surfaces, buckets, and even within the stems themselves. Furthermore, these unseen culprits multiply in vase water, diminishing the appearance of your floral arrangements.

Hence, your first step is to clean, disinfect, and deodorize work surfaces, cutting tools, and buckets to help maximize vase life. For this step, Floralife® Cleaner 80-0003310 is your trusty ally in preventing dirt and its harmful effects on your precious blooms.

Step 2: Hydrate

Flowers that lack the ability to hydrate and provide themselves with nourishment and energy can result in wastage. Additionally, when used in bouquets or arrangements, these flowers may fail to meet customers’ expectations in terms of longevity. Floralife® Quick Dip 80-0003783 can stimulate the uptake of flower food by unclogging the stem cells.

Step 3: Nourish

Upon receiving your flowers, it is crucial to prioritize their hydration and nourishment. For dry transported flowers, after their Floralife® Quick Dip treatment, place them in water enriched with Floralife® Express Universal 300 80-0082001. This concentrated formula caters to all the essential needs of your flowers, whether they are displayed in a vase or arranged using OASIS® Floral Foam.

Step 4: Protect

Reduce the risk of mold development by avoiding spraying water on your flowers. Instead, use a light spritz of Floralife® Finishing Touch 80-0003720 or Floralife® Crowning Glory 80-0003730 or 80-0003740 on your finished designs to give them a fresh and brilliant look.

Step 5: Customer Care

Finally, it’s time to introduce Floralife® Flower Food.

Once the bouquet or arrangement leaves your shop, it’s up to your customers to continue the care at home. Therefore, by equipping them with Floralife® Flower Food sachets, you give them the key to unlocking the full potential of their florals.

Dosage Matters: Educate and Inform

As a trusted florist, it’s crucial to educate your customers about the proper usage of Floralife® Flower Food. At check-out, discuss the dosage’s impact on enhancing the longevity of their beloved blooms. Doing this will empower your customers to become partners in preserving their floral masterpieces.
