Your Plantaflora products are crafted with love and care. To help you enjoy them to the fullest, here are the care instructions for each category:

Flowers Care

Fresh flowers are delicate and require special attention to maintain their beauty. Follow these steps to keep them looking vibrant for as long as possible:

1. Unpacking:

  • Gently remove the flowers from their packaging to avoid damaging the stems or petals.
  • Remove any leaves that may fall below the waterline in the vase. This prevents bacterial growth, which can shorten the flowers' lifespan.

2. Trimming:

  • Using a clean, sharp pair of scissors or garden shears, cut 1-2 cm off each stem at a 45° angle under running water. This ensures better water absorption.
  • Repeat the trimming process every 2-3 days to maintain hydration.

3. Hydration:

  • Use a clean vase filled with fresh, room-temperature water.
  • Add the provided flower food to the water. If unavailable, a teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice can be added to nourish the flowers.
  • Refill the vase with clean water every 2-3 days.

4. Placement:

  • Keep the flowers in a cool, shaded area with indirect sunlight.
  • Avoid placing them near heating vents, air conditioners, direct sunlight, or ripening fruits, as these can cause wilting.

5. Bloom Enhancement:

  • If you want the flowers to bloom faster, use lukewarm water to encourage the buds to open.

6. Special Tip:

  • Mist the petals lightly with water to maintain freshness, but avoid excessive moisture.

Plants Care

Healthy plants can transform your space. Here’s how to nurture them effectively:

1. Placement:

  • Select a spot with light levels that suit the plant's needs (most indoor plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight).
  • Avoid placing plants near heating or cooling vents, as temperature fluctuations can stress them.

2. Watering:

  • Always check the soil before watering; water only when the top inch feels dry to the touch.
  • Pour water evenly over the soil until it begins to drain from the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water from the saucer to prevent root rot.
  • Avoid overwatering, as this is a common cause of plant decline.

3. Feeding:

  • Feed your plants with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during their growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during dormant periods in autumn and winter.

4. Maintenance:

  • Remove yellow or dead leaves regularly to encourage new growth.
  • Clean the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.

5. Humidity:

  • Many plants benefit from higher humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or place a water-filled tray with pebbles near the plant to increase humidity levels.

6. Repotting:

  • Repot your plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its pot, using fresh, well-draining potting soil.

Cakes Care

Enjoy your delicious cakes at their best by following these guidelines:

1. Storage:

  • For cakes with cream, fresh fruit, or perishable ingredients, refrigerate immediately upon receipt.
  • Dry cakes, such as pound cakes, can be stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.

2. Serving:

  • Remove refrigerated cakes 20-30 minutes before serving to allow them to reach room temperature, enhancing flavor and texture.
  • Always slice cakes using a clean, sharp knife for a neat presentation.

3. Leftovers:

  • Wrap leftover cake tightly in cling film or store it in an airtight container to retain moisture.
  • Consume within 24-48 hours for optimal taste and freshness.

4. Handling:

  • Handle decorative elements, such as edible toppers or flowers, carefully. If they are not edible, remove them before serving.

Sweets & Chocolate Care

Treat your sweets and chocolates with care to preserve their flavor and texture:

1. Storage:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors.
  • Avoid refrigerating chocolates unless absolutely necessary, as condensation can form and affect their appearance.

2. Handling:

  • Wash your hands before handling chocolates to prevent smudges or melting.
  • Serve chocolates at room temperature for the best taste experience.

Garden Essentials Care

Extend the life of your tools, pots, and other garden essentials with these tips:

1. Tools:

  • Clean tools thoroughly after each use to remove dirt and sap.
  • Sharpen blades and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rusting.

2. Pots & Planters:

  • Use pots with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
  • Clean pots regularly to avoid algae or mineral buildup.

3. Fertilizers & Soil:

  • Store fertilizers and soil in a dry, cool place to prevent clumping.
  • Follow the instructions on fertilizer packaging for application frequency and dosage.

4. Decor Items:

  • For outdoor decor, wipe surfaces clean and protect them from extreme weather with appropriate covers or coatings.

By following these instructions, you can ensure that your flowers, plants, cakes, and other products from Plantaflora remain fresh, vibrant, and enjoyable for as long as possible. 🌸
