CARE FOR ARRANGED DAFFODIL

1. Display in a cool location, out of direct sunlight and away from air vents. Avoid excessively hot or cold areas.
2. Check water level daily to make sure container is full and add warm water as needed.
3. Remove any damaged or dying foliage or flowers.
4. Recut 1/4 inch from flower stems every 4 to 5 days to maintain water uptake( make sure the cut is angled and not flat so the flower stems do not rest on the bottom of the vase.)
5. If other flowers are in the vase with the Daffodils, make sure that you change the water often because the sap from the Daffodils stem can clog the water uptake of other flowers

CARE FOR BOXED DAFFODIL

2. Prepare a clean container and fill it with warm water and a flower preservative.
3. Remove all foliage on stem that would be below the water line in the container.
4. Cut an inch from the flower stems, preferably under water, at an angle so that the flower stems do not rest on the bottom of the container.
