Tropical Flower Care: Keep the water in the vase of your "Spider
Orchid" fresh. Replace the water every 3rd day with cool
water keeping the water level near the top of the vase.
Re-cut
1/2" from the base of each stem under water using a
sharp knife with each water change. Remove any Spider Orchid
blossoms that may become submerged after re-cutting.
Variety note: Modern
hybridizing techniques have brought us many amazing orchids
including the "Spider Orchid" line. "Spider
Orchids" will instantly transform your arrangement into an
exotic work of art. Your favorite floral shop should be able
to special order these beautiful cut tropical flowers for you. Spider
orchids are available in 5 or 10 stem bunches.

Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your "Spider Orchid"
with each water change. Floral preservative helps to prevent
bacterial growth and nourishes your flowers helping to insure a longer vase
life.
If you run out of commercial flower preservative you can make
your own fresh cut flower food mix 1/2 teaspoon of table sugar to
a quart of cold water... mixing thoroughly.
