Over the years that I’ve been a floral designer I have come to trust and rely on a few “Helper” products. [Some of my absolute favorite helper products include Quick Dip and Finishing Touch.]
FloraLife is now offering this great starter package where you can try out four of their products, it is called “Fresh-Cut Flower Care Kit”.
How to use these products:
Finishing Touch — When your floral design is complete spray it lightly with Finishing Touch. This spray will help keep the flowers hydrated. I find this to be especially important with Wedding Work.
Quick Dip — For thick stemmed flowers that have traveled a long distance and suffering from dehydration, Quick Dip is a miracle worker. **Especially South American grown Roses & Hydrangeas** Pour a little bit into a vase, clip off 1″ inch at the bottom of flower stems and dip for 2 seconds into the Quick Dip. This will help open up the pores in the stem and let water in, allowing the stem to rehydrate.
Flower Food — The label says it all, follow the instructions and add to the finish vase. Flowers love a little food.
Surface Cleaner — One of the secrets to long lasting flowers is clean tools and vases. Keep those flower clippers clean and get rid of bacteria, the same goes for vases and buckets!
What's included in the Fresh-Cut Flower Care Kit
One Bottle each of Finishing Touch Spray, Surface Cleaner Spray, Quick Dip Hydrating Treatment, Flower Food, and a pair of new Flower Clippers.
