Care and Handling Tips:
After stems are purchased and brought home, 2cm should be cut from the base of the stem with a sharp knife - if possible while the stem is submerged in water - then place the stems in a vase. Blooms should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources. They will last longer at cooler room temperature, but will suffer from cool drafts.
