Please take note if you are going to lay flowers for The Queen.
- By removing the plastic wrap your flowers will last longer as it creates a sauna effect by leaving it on.
- When the flowers are all laid on top of each other they will sweat and start to decay quicker the hotter they are so the wrap will not help this, it will just speed it up.
- If you have had something made by a florist in foam, consider bio foams or eco options if possible.
- The oasis green florist foam you may buy from hobby craft to make your own will take thousands of years to semi break down and equates to 20 plastic bags in microplastics.
- There are eco/biodegradable options that break down. (Usually brown/natural coloured)
- Oasis contains agents that kill bacteria to prolong flower life span and therefore could affect wildlife that may attempt to eat it if a display is left on the ground.
Just a few friendly suggestions from a florist who loves flowers and hates to see them dying so quickly. š
