  Carnation Cut Flower Care instructions:

1. 1. As soon as you receive your flowers, open their box(es) and cut strapping to remove flowers.
2. 2. Short Carnations are shipped in growers bunches, each bunch contains 25 stems of carnations.
3. 3. Remove any green foliage that will fall below the water line from the bottom of the bouquet stem. Any foliage that falls below the waterline will form bacteria and effect the life of your flowers and the blooming process.
4. 4. Cut 1/2 to 1 inch off the bottom of each carnation stem, preferably at an angle, and immediately place in prepared water.
5. 5. Place flowers in fresh, cool water out of direct sunlight, extreme temperatures and drafts.  Use of Floral food is recommended.  Let Carnations hydrate for at least 4 hours, 12 or more hours is recommended.
6. 6. Check water levels frequently.  Fresh cut flowers consume a lot of water when hydrating.  Keep water levels high and water fresh.

Quick Tips:

1. 1.. You may receive carnations that are still in bud form.  They will open naturally following this process over 2 - 3 days.  If you need to open them sooner, place freshly cut carnation stems in very warm (not hot) water and in a warm (not hot) room while hydrating.  You may need to refresh with warm water after 3-4 hours.
2. 2. If you need the carnations to open sooner, you may "force" the bloom by gently rolling the base of the carnation head between your thumb and forefinger.  Gently roll carnation bloom back and forth, and lightly "fluff" open the petals until the carnation head opens.  Immediately  place in cool water.
