There are tiny water vessels on the flower stem, which the flower uses to drink up the water and nutrients it needs to survive. Scissors damage these whereas a sharp knife is less likely to.

NO. INSTA-PANELS® are made of polyurethane foam, which does not absorb water. Moreover, steel covers protect the insulation against mechanical damage. See similar questions...

A Yes, but the absorption rate is much slower and more uniform when compared to ordinary pressure-treated wood. The splitting and checking which occurs in wood exposed to the weather is caused mainly by alternating cycles of swelling and shrinking corresponding to periods of wet and dry weather. Preserve Plus slows the rate of water absorption minimizing the degree of swelling and shrinking in wood, resulting in a more stable product that performs and looks better. See similar questions...

With the increased solubility of the water, it is more readily absorbed into your body. Your skin and hair becomes significantly softer. In addition, it can enhance the absorption of vitamins and minerals into your body. It also may help clear up some digestive problems. See similar questions...

No, they do not get shipped with water. In this industry, all flowers are not shipped with water when you purchase from farms direct and growers. This is the same condition and form that all florist and wholesalers receive flowers from the growers. The flowers are all hydrated at farm level, condition with a special process to leave the water inside the stem. All flowers are then placed in special coolers at 32 degrees when transported. The coolers have a special humidifier system. See similar questions...

No, flowers and leaves contain spores of various fungi that develop extremely fast in water. The small beads of water left on flowers and leaves after spraying will increase the spread of fungus and result in a flawed overall appearance. See similar questions...

No. They do not need to because the material itself allows oxygen to diffuse through them making water irrelevant.Back to top See similar questions...

Paphs purchased at orchid shows, or at commercial greenhouses, and then brought into the home should hold their flowers for at least a week, perhaps even for several weeks. If the flowers on the plant were already starting to fade, turn slightly transparent, or lose substance at the time the plant was purchased, the flowers will not last long. This can be most noticeable in the pouch, which will appear slightly wrinkled and perhaps shrunken. See similar questions...

All our disposable incontinence pads contain "super absorbents" which absorb urine and lock it inside so you are kept dry. It is the amount of super absorbent contained within a product that determines how much it can absorb, not the product's physical size. See similar questions...

It is impossible to claim the percentage of absorption or bioavailability for our products because absorption or bioavailability differs with every individual and with every nutrient. Determinants of absorption and bioavailability include age, medications used, daily diet, genetics, intestinal environment, and nutritional status. However, we carefully select all of our ingredients to provide maximum bioavailability based on the most recent research. See similar questions...

An all natural fiber called chitin (KITE'in) with the unique ability to attract and bind fat, especially saturated animal fat. It absorbs fat like a sponge, holds it, and binds it so it passes through your digestive system and is excreted. Chitin is a safe, functional food that helps the body naturally heal itself. Chitin is found in shells of crab, lobster, and shrimp so it has been around for centuries, but it wasn't until the 1800's that a French professor discovered this polysaccharide.

Yes. All flowers and plants require different care. Please talk with your florist to learn about the watering needs of your particular flowers and plants. After repeated cycles of watering, salts and minerals may begin to accumulate. If your florist agrees, we recommend that you annually flush the soil of these accumulated salts and minerals. Setting your flowers and plants out in a warm, gentle, soaking rain works well and washes off dust from the leaves. See similar questions...

Sod needs to be kept wet and watered continually for about two weeks when new. After that, a daily or every other day watering schedule should be followed, depending on the weather. Seed needs to be kept wet until it germinates. Again, after germination a rigorous watering schedule should be followed. Trees can be watered every other day BY HAND with a hose. You can let the hose trickle for about 15 minutes near the base of the tree. See similar questions...
