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.

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.

Yes. Any plant that benefits from misting will benefit from Finishing Touch. Plants tested in our labs include begonia, mum, cyclamen, spath, philodendron and diffenbachia, among others.

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.

Yes. Always soak your foam in a properly mixed solution of fresh flower food (follow the product directions). This will give the flowers the nutrients they need while allowing harmful chemicals to leach out of the foam before use.

Use one part Spring Earth with three parts potting soil when repotting. For pots which do not need replanting, add a 1" topdressing of Spring Earth in the spring, summer, or fall.

Don't forget to scratch the roots to loosen the soil around them. But follow this simple rule: Don't scratch the roots any harder than you would scratch your head. (Please Note: This rule was made up by a bald guy!)

In 1990, about 339,000 million gallons per day of fresh water was withdrawn from our surface and ground water sources, such as wells, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Here's the breakdown by water-use category:

The acid in flower food will react with metal (including lead in crystal). We do not recommend the use of flower food in crystal or metal vases.

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.
