Fun Flower Facts
What are ideas for having flowers at work?
By now, we know the ability of flowers to instantly boost our mood. Who doesn't need that at work? Here are a few ways flowers can work overtime: Deliver flowers to a colleague's desk for an unexpected friendship surprise. Say thank you to co-workers who've put in extra time. Apologize for a missed deadline. Keep flowers on your desk just to freshen up your space. Or on Monday, pick up a bunch of flowers to keep a group space cheerful all week long.
How do I take care of loose or boxed flowers?
Keep your flowers in a cool place until you can get them in a flower food solution. Don't forget how important it is to follow the mixing directions on the flower food packet. Fill a clean (washed with a detergent or antibacterial cleaning solution), deep vase with water and add a flower food from your florist. Remove leaves that will be below the waterline. Leaves in water will promote bacterial microbial growth that may limit water uptake by the flower. Re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife. Place the flowers in the vase solution you've prepared.
