PRODUCT CARE

General Care: Keep arrangements out of direct sunlight to prevent colors from fading and in a dry environment to prevent mold.  Display away from open flame; wood flowers are flammable. 

What are the flowers made of? Each flower is handmade using shavings from the cassava plant or balsa tree bark. Not only are they all natural, but are also biodegradable and made from a sustainable material.

How long do they last? Forever!

Do I need to water my flowers?  You don't! In fact it's ideal to keep your flowers away from water as much as possible! Being wood, and porous, means that it's easier for mold to grow on them which could ruin the flowers.

Can I put my arrangement outside? Yes, but only if it has been treated for UV and water.  This treatment makes the flowers more brittle (verses the normal softness and pliability) due to a polyurethane spray used to protect them so you will want to be careful with treated flowers.

How do I store my flowers? It's best to store them in open containers with a breathable cover, such as tissue or a sheet, to allow airflow and to prevent them from collecting dust.

How do I dust my flowers? Compressed cans of air or hairdryers (no heat) on low are great ways to get rid of any dust collecting on arrangements.

Can I use essential oils on my flowers?  Yes, as long as the oil is watered down and you don't spray them too much!
