The buckets should be changed every 4 days or so. The buckets should be cleaned with D.C.D. before fresh flower food solution is added.

More fresh flower food (and other Floralife products) can be ordered by visiting our consumer ordering section of our website.

Floralife Fresh Flower Food contains three main ingredients: a sugar (for nutrition), an acidifier (to lower the pH of the water) and a class of compounds called stem unpluggers.

Floralife Fresh Flower Food has been certified non-toxic, but is not intended for ingestion by humans and/or animals. Follow all label directions and keep out of reach of children. No. Original Floralife and Professional are aluminum sulfate based flower foods. One characteristic of this type of chemistry is a milky residue called a flocculent. This flocculent is beneficial to cut flowers. If a clear solution is desired, try Floralife Crystal Clear.

Temperature is key! You should still be concerned with hydrating and feeding the flowers (to prevent stress); however, use cold water (with flower food) and keep them as close to 34-38°F as possible. The cold water will speed up the cooling down process. Our Professional formulas are designed for storage of fresh cut flowers. Note: Tropicals are an exception to this temperature range; they should be stored at 55°F.

No. Quick Dip is a hydration product intended to be a pretreatment for the flowers before flower food. Mixing the two products together throws the chemical formulation out of balance and could shorten vase life.

While it should not harm potted plants, it is not recommended for use on them. Floralife Fresh Flower Food is formulated for use on cut flowers and will not provide a benefit to potted plants.

We generally try to prepare foods on site whenever possible, however if that is not an option, we will cook the food in our kitchen and then transport it to your location in insulated hot-boxes. Then add any garnishes or sauces right before serving to ensure that the food is as vibrant and fresh as possible. We always recommend menu items that travel well if this is necessary.

Most perennials won't be truly outstanding until their second year. They will be too busy growing their first year to flower at their fullest. As a rule of thumb though: Fall flowering varieties will almost reach full size, and put on a nice show their first year. Mums will reach full size and full flower their first year.

All bouquets are made up by Flying Flowers staff in the country of delivery - we do not pass on your order for another florist to make up and deliver. As such we can guarantee and maintain the high quality of all our fresh cut flower bouquets.

Live flowers can live inside balloons for an extended period of time. Because flowers in a balloon don't have air blowing across them, they are able to survive longer on less water. When putting flowers in a balloon, make sure that you put water inside the water tube before you place the flowers in the balloon. Once the balloon is created, it isn't possible to add more water to the flowers without creating a new balloon.

Typically, wholesale florists (and growers) use our Professional line of products (or storage solutions), while consumers use the vase solutions (Original Floralife, Crystal Clear, and the Special Blends.) For more specific information, send a water sample to Floralife for recommendations. Your water will be tested for pH, alkalinity, hardness, and total dissolved solids. We will recommend a flower food beneficial for your situation.

Our flower foods can be split into 2 categories: clear formulas (citric acid based) and non-clear formulas (aluminum sulfate based). Some users don't like the cloudy flocculant caused by aluminum sulfate, creating the demand for our clear formulas. Okay, that 'clears the waters' a bit, but what are the 'Special Blends' and the 'Professionals'? Our Special Blend formulas are water- type specific (if you have hard water, try Special Blend Hard).
