--------------------------------------------------------------------

· For bouquet from the Estilo collection  (black cubic box) :

Our presentation of flower arrangements of Estilo,  This is especially  Designed so that the flowers can last a maximum of 36 hours without having to remove the packaging. After this, it is necessary to place the flowers in water and follow the following care instructions.

1.  Remove from packaging and cut the  holders that tie the flowers. You should know that they come with a little water but it will not be enough to keep the flowers hydrated for more than 36 hours. It is recommended to take them out of the packaging the day after receiving the flowers.

2. Cut the stems at an angle (not straight).

3. The gifts in this collection also come with special flower food. Pour half of the sachet into fresh water and place the flowers in a vase. The other half can be used after 72 hours by changing the water.

· For bouquets of 50, 100 or 150 Roses:

1. Once received and before placing in water, cut at least 2 centimeters of stems at an angle (and not straight).

2. Immerse them no more than halfway up the stem in fresh tap water.

· For other bouquets:

1. Mixed bouquets that are delivered directly in water can last a couple of days like this before you decide to change the water.  The water in the  vase carries special chemicals to prolong the life of the flowers.

2.  As the days go by, the water will be consumed and it will be necessary to refill the vase. This is a good opportunity to remove at least a couple of centimeters of the stems. Remember to cut them at an angle and not straight.

3. The paper that the flowers are wrapped in is special to protect the flowers. So it will not be necessary to remove the wrapping.

· Special care of domes:

1. Pour half to 3/4 cup of water daily into the center of the arrangement and directly onto the floral foam (oasis). The oasis must be kept moist to properly hydrate the flowers. NOTE: When pouring water, be careful not to add too much, as this could cause overflow.

Orchids:

1. Water every 7 to 10 days directly from the tap. To do this, remove the plant from its original special plastic container (which contains drainage holes) and let the water run for 5 to 7 minutes. Let it drain and place it back in the decorative pot. NOTE: Do not leave stagnant water in the decorative pot, as this will rot the roots. 

2. Do not place them in cold places as this will cause the abortion of any buds that the plant may still have.

3. Once all the flowers have fallen off, you can continue watering the plant and wait for the flowers to bloom again. This can take 6 to 12 months.

4. Avoid allowing water to reach the core of the leaves, as this tends to damage them.

5. Do not transplant or change special fertilizer.Orchids come in decorative pots, but their preservative lives in the special container that you will find inside the pot. You just have to remove the plant by pulling on the stem, water it, and put it back in the decorative pot.

Allure -acrylic boxes-:

1. In this case it is not necessary to change the water. 

2. Open the lid, otherwise you will find it a little fogged up.

Flowers sent with test tubes (or pipettes):

1. Some short-stemmed flowers are delivered  in test tubes  (similar to a small test tube with a lid). If you can see in the transparent pipettes that the flowers have consumed the water faster, you should simply open it, add water and close it again. Note: be careful when opening the test tube as opening it abruptly can  break the stem.

Remember:

-Do not leave the flowers in direct sunlight, or in very hot places.
