808 878-1046 General Plant Information
The plant known
as "protea" was named after a Greek God, Proteus, who had the ability
to change his physical appearance by his own volition. Protea have
multiple shapes, colors, textures and sizes, in fact there are over
1,400 varieties, and like their namesake, can look different from time
to time. Variety aside, protea have an impressive keeping ability that
helps make them as popular as they've become. There are a few easy
steps you can take to insure you'll be getting the most out of your
protea:
�Upon delivery, unpack them immediately.
�When
you put the plants in water, be absolutely certain their leaves do not
come in contact with it. Remove any leaves that look like that they may
become immersed.
�Trim a � inch of the stems, be certain to treat the plant delicately while doing so.
�Protea
thrive on a generous amount of water, so be certain to change it
frequently with fresh, clean water. Add a floral preservative or simple
dextrose if you wish, I personally have not seen a difference in my
tests with and without a preservative.
�If
you happen to notice any leaves change colors, don't be alarmed. This
is the nature of the plant and in no way takes away from the quality or
beauty of the flower.
�If you feel the need to enhance the visibility of the flower, you can remove leaves as soon as you notice any change in color.Some
varieties have leaves that brown very quickly, especially the Duchess
varieties, but the flower stays very colorful for a long time.
�To
dry your protea, some people like to hang the stems upside down in a
dark area. However, you may also let them dry in your display outside
of water if you so choose as they start to go brown on their own.
�Avoid direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures. Keeping it "cool" will prolong the life of the flower.

808 878-1046 General Wreath Information
Protea have multiple shapes, colors, textures and sizes (there are over 1,400 varieties) this �protean� aspect resulted in them being named after the Greek God Proteus, who also had many different forms.You shall find your wreath is made of a variety of proteas and some pine. Enhancing this kaleidoscopic physical beauty is proteas keeping ability. Proteas last a very long time in their colorful condition then most dry to gorgeous shades of brown and gold.We have used plants and flowers that last and then dry well in your wreath.There are a few thingsyou can doto get the most out of your protea wreath:
�Upon receiving your wreath unpack it (I gather you are doing that now).
�When you hang
your wreath it is best to keep it away from air conditioning or heating
vents, for both units tend to dehumidify the air and cause your wreath
to dry more quickly than normal.I have seen some go dry in as few as three days next to an air conditioning vent here on Maui.
�Wreaths do equally well outside and inside.I have seen them last weeks to months on a gate or door in the snow in Santa Fe, New Mexico.I have also seen them last weeks inside, however, when dehumidifiers are running wreaths may dry out quickly to their beautiful dry state.
�You do not need to water your wreath.
�As time goes on you will see your flowers dry and turn shades of gold and brown.I have some wreaths from ten years ago still hanging, they do make beautiful dried wreaths when they are done changing.
�Avoid direct sunlight inside, and extreme temperatures. Keeping them "cool" and away from heating or cooling vents will prolong the life of the flowers.
I hope you find your wreath to be fun as well as beautiful.
They are Great flowers!
