Get Ready
Prepare your flower containers by cleaning them with mild soap and a drop of bleach or by using disinfecting wipes. Fill containers with warm, room temperature water. Cold water is not readily absorbed and hot water can shock the flower.Working with your Flowers
Remove all foliage that will fall below the water line. Allowing them to decompose in water will allow harmful bacteria to shorten the life of the flowers. We recommend cutting the lily stems underwater at an angle for best results. Flowers last longer when kept in deep water. Lilies will take up to 24 hours to hydrate. As the lilies open, you may gently pull off the pollen stamens to avoid pollen dust and to help the flowers last longer. Use a fork to lift stamens gently away from the lily. Be careful not to get lily pollen on your clothing or linens. Pollen sheds easily and stains whatever it touches (see helpful hints below). You may wish to place a protective mat under your bouquet to prevent pollen from falling on your furniture or carpet if you do not remove the stamens.HELPFUL HINTS: If the lily’s blossom is stained with pollen you can remove it by gently swabbing the petals with a Q-tip.
Watch the Water
Always add fresh water daily as these flowers can absorb a great deal of water. Change water at least every couple of days. Cloudy or discolored water can indicate decomposition and bacterial growth. The temperature in which you store your flowers is very important. Warmer temps will cause the flower to open quicker. Do not store in the refrigerator.
