Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I keep my indoor flowers alive longer? The key is fresh water and clean cuts. Change the water every other day and snip the stems at an angle to ensure they can ‘drink’ properly.
  • Which flowers are best for a high-end look on a budget? Carnations and Alstroemeria are very affordable and last a long time. When arranged in a tight, monochromatic bunch, they look incredibly expensive!
  • Are floral scents safe for pets? Not always! Be careful with lilies and hydrangeas, which can be toxic to cats and dogs. Always check a pet-safe list before bringing new blooms home.
  • Can I use silk flowers instead of real ones? Absolutely. High-quality ‘real-touch’ silks are a fantastic investment for areas with low light or for people with allergies.
