TIP OF THE WEEK - THE PERFECT VASE Picking the right vase can make a difference to your flowers. This ceramic vase is great because it has a bit of weight to it and a good shape so the flowers sit well without having to chock it full of blooms. __________________ ☎️ 03 5572 2000 ✉️ [email protected] 🛍️ www.graystflowers.com.au

💦 TIP OF THE WEEK - Keep it clean 💦 ! Leaves in water – yuck! - Leaves in the water not only look messy but make the water dirty and encourage bacteria which is the enemy of long lasting flowers. Clean off the foliage and let the stems be free. Follow us for more tips ✔️ __________________ ☎️ 03 5572 2000 ✉️ [email protected] 🛍️ www.graystflowers.com.au

Tip of the week - Keep your Hyacinths looking gorgeous! Hyacinth has hollow stems and big, fat, flowery heads. As the flowers come out the stems can bend or even snap with the weight, so we can help them along by threading a wire or skewer up the hollow stem, being careful not to puncture the outer stem.

Tip of the week - how to best look after your flowers in the warm weather. Especially in this warm weather, keep your flowers in a cool spot, not in front of a sunny window, and definitely not sitting in a hot car! #keepyourflowersfresh #hamiltonflorist #grampiansflowers #tipiftheweek

Tip of the week - looking after your flowers in the heat In this warm weather it is a great idea to wet pack your flowers to keep the stems moist until they get into water. And of course, re-cut the stems when placing in water. Be sure to take the wet packing off when placing in water. Although this method will help to keep the flowers hydrated for a couple of hours or so, it is not an overnight solution they will need to go in water. #tipoftheweek #helpingflowerslastlonger #wetpacking
