Fresh flower delivery in Canada

When you receive your flower delivery, Toronto florists will be sure to wrap the flowers appropriately to protect against the elements. You'll want to take action right away to ensure longevity and keep those flowers as fresh as possible. It's a good idea to remember these tips for every flower delivery in Canada and beyond. First, you'll want to cut the end of each stem under running water. This prevents air bubbles from entering the stem that might remain when the flower is placed upright in a vase, preventing the upward flow of water to the flower. Premature wilting is often a sign of an air bubble, so pay attention to this step. Cut the stems on an angle to expose the most surface area for taking up water. Place the stems in water right away lest they become dry. Next, remove any leaves that would be underwater when the flowers are placed in the vase. Leaves left under the waterline will eventually die and contaminate the water.

Your flower delivery in Canada is going to arrive fast and fresh, but there are steps you can take to keep them fresher even longer. Re-trimming the stems every other day or even every day will help them uptake water. Be sure to add a floral preservative to the vase water, as this will add days onto the life of your arrangement. In the absence of floral preservative, you can substitute small amounts of lemon-lime soda, sugar, or hydrogen peroxide. Keep the water warm (about 100 degrees) when you first add the flowers, and if possible leave them in a cool dark area for a few hours before arranging and displaying. Flowers can take up a surprising amount of water, so be sure to check the level often. Keep these tips in mind when you receive your next flower delivery. Toronto, Canada, America and beyond, flowers put a smile on faces all around the world!
