FLOWER LOVERS

rosesNUTRIENTS

Do those little packets or sachets that come with fresh cut flowers really make a difference in how long flowers last? If the OASIS® name is on the packet, the answer is YES!

OASIS floral nutrients are specially formulated to make fresh flowers last longer, without clouding water. Using OASIS brand floral nutrients will enhance flower color and fragrance, so you'll enjoy beautiful blooms for over a week.

Here are some other tips for long-lasting fresh flowers:

  • Remove lower foliage from stems and recut under water.
  • Pour one packet or sachet of OASIS floral nutrient into your vase and add warm water according to directions. Warm water increases the flower's ability to take up fluids and helps keep them from wilting.
  • DON'T rely on tricks like copper coins, sugar, bleach or aspirin to treat flowers. For long-lasting arrangements, always ask your florist for OASIS brand floral nutrients.

FOAMS

Whether creating your own designs or purchase arrangements from your local florist, the type of floral foam that's used can make a big difference in how long flowers last. OASIS Floral Foams hold over 40 times their weight in water, keep flowers securely in place at any angle, and make it easier for flowers to draw water up the stems, which prevents wilting.

To get the most from your fresh flower arrangements, add water daily, and be sure to ask your florist to use OASIS brand Floral Foam.
