Working Designer Wednesday: Floral Preservative

Let’s talk about conditioning our flowers…after all, if they aren’t properly conditioned, they aren’t much good for arranging. I know every designer has his/her preferences and I’ll share mine if you promise to share yours!

My favorite conditioning products include:

1. Quick Dip

~Reduces water stress on cut flowers.

~Helps prevent premature bending, wilting, and stem plugging. Ready-to-use, no-mix, citric-acid solution. Just dip bottom 2" of flower stems into solution for one second prior to placing in Floralife Fresh Flower Food.

2. Floralife Crystal Clear Flower Food

3. Floralife Clear Crowning Glory

~spray-on liquid shield for cut flowers, foliage greens, and both needle and broad-leafed evergreens. Keeps designed vase or foam arrangements fresher, maximizing their beauty.

Now, I hope you’ll share your favorite conditioning products…I’m interested to see what everyone else uses…

Have a great Wednesday!
