ZZ Plant
The ZZ plant, code name for zamioculcas zamiifolia (you see now why it needed a code name!) is a beautiful low maintenance house plant. Their shiny leaves and full stems give them a lovely aesthetic. They prefer medium to low indirect light and can handle some neglect. Forgiving to everything but the dreaded over-water, it is best to leave the watering can alone until the soil is completely dried through, and then give them a thorough drink. Why so long between hydrating, you ask? They have a very unique and interesting rhizome structure which stores water to be released as needed by the plant in bulbs below the soil. If you can poke your finger down the top two inches or so and still feel moister let them be a little longer. This will help their soft roots avoid any chance of root rot.

Hand Tied Bouquets:
Cut flowers should be delivered within an hour and kept away from heat or temperatures below 1 Celsius degree during transport as much as possible. Add the enclosed food packet to your vase and fill with room temperature water. Snip at least 1/2 cm off soft stems with sharp scissors (most flowers) or off woody stems with a serrated knife (roses + greens). Anything that seems too tough to snip with scissors is probably woody, but any cut/break really is better than none! Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline. Place away from hot or cold drafts and out of direct sunlight. For the longest vase life, change the water and give the flowers another snip every 2 to 4 days. Remove wilted flowers as needed to encourage new blooms. If you’re thinking this is getting complicated, it simplifies to: snip, water, repeat!
Vase and Container Arrangements:
Once you get your flowers home, top the container up with water. Check on the water level of your arrangement every 2-3 days and keep filling the base of the vase or container as needed. Place away from hot or cold drafts and out of direct sunlight. Remove any wilted flowers as needed to encourage new blooms.
