Conditioning

Care
-
Use flower food packets for fresh flowers. Florist flowers come with floral food packets that will help your florist-arranged flowers last much longer.
Warning
-
Keep flowers away from fruit. Do not display your flower arrangements near fruits, which give off a gas that ages flowers faster.
