Do it yourself bouquet – DYI- Get Ready
Prepare your flower containers by cleaning them with mild soap and a drop of bleach or by using disinfecting wipes. We do not recommend placing Gerberas directly into containers that are metal, rusted, or made of clay or stone. Fill containers with room temperature water. Cold water is not readily absorbed and hot water can shock the flower. Working with your Flowers
The stem of the Gerbera daisy will decompose quickly in deep water so fill your container(s) with only four to five inches of water. Gently remove the protective flower nets that cover the flower head on each stem. We recommend trimming the flowers underwater. Take about ½” from the bottom of each stem by making a diagonal cut. Immediately place the Gerberas in your prepared flower container. Support the flower heads or they will droop and break. A tip, place a tape grid- crisscross pattern of 1/4-inch over your vase for each stem for added support so that the heads are supported. The plastic tubes on the stems may be left on until you are ready to begin arranging. Always add fresh water daily. Change water at least every couple of days. Cloudy or discolored water can indicate decomposition and bacterial growth. Storage & More The temperature in which you store your flowers is very important. The flowers last best in temperatures around 45-72 degrees. Keep flowers out of direct light.. Gerberas should be kept away from fruits and vegetables, as they compromise the flower’s life. Do not store in the refrigerator. When arranging, you can support the stem of the Gerbera daisy with floral wire if the flower’s stem is naturally curved or bent.
