Flower

• Trim stems at an angle before placing in water.

• Change water daily and keep out of direct sunlight.

• Add flower food if provided.

 Plant

• Light

  • Place your plant in a spot that gets the right amount of light:

    • Bright, indirect light for most houseplants.

    • Low light for shade-loving varieties like snake plants or ZZ plants.

    • Direct sunlight for succulents and cacti.

  Water

  • Check the soil moisture before watering:

    • Stick your finger 1 inch into the soil — if it feels dry, it’s time to water.

  • Most indoor plants prefer watering once a week, but this can vary with plant type, season, and indoor climate.

  • Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot — always empty excess water from saucers.

  Temperature & Humidity

  • Keep your plant in a room with stable temperatures (65–75°F / 18–24°C).

  • Avoid placing it near heaters, air conditioners, or cold drafts.

  • Some tropical plants enjoy higher humidity — mist them or use a humidifier if needed.

  General Tips

  • Dust the leaves gently with a damp cloth to help your plant breathe.

  • Rotate your plant every few weeks so it grows evenly.

Garlands

  Temperature matters:

• Store the garland in a cool, shaded place — ideally between 8°C–15°C (46°F–59°F).
  Avoid direct sunlight, fans, or air conditioners blowing directly on them.

• Use refrigeration if available:
  You can place your rose garland in the vegetable section of your fridge (not the freezer!) wrapped lightly in a moist tissue or newspaper.

 Maintain Moisture

• Mist lightly with water:
  Use a clean spray bottle and gently mist the garland to keep petals hydrated. Don’t over-soak — too much water can cause petals to darken or fall off.

• Avoid plastic wrapping for long storage:
  Plastic traps heat and moisture unevenly. Instead, use wet cloth or paper wrapping.

 Handle with Care

• Always handle by the thread or string, not the petals — rose petals bruise easily.

• If you’re hanging them, make sure air can circulate freely around the garland.

• Avoid crushing them in tight spaces or under other decorations.

Timing for Events

• If your garland is for a wedding, pooja, or function, try to buy or make it fresh on the same day or the evening before.

• Keep it in the fridge (wrapped lightly with damp paper) until you’re ready to use it.

Reviving Slightly Wilted Garlands

If the petals start to droop:

1. Fill a bowl with cold water.

2. Dip the garland (briefly) — about 30–60 seconds.

3. Remove and shake off excess water gently.

4. Lay flat on a towel in a cool place to air dry slightly.

 Avoid These Common Mistakes

• Don’t store in a closed plastic bag for long — it will trap heat and cause rot.

• Don’t spray perfume or deodorant directly on petals.

• Don’t expose to harsh sunlight — color will fade and petals will dry quickly.
