West Allis' Locker's Florist has advice on keeping your Valentine's Day arrangements thriving
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- When it comes right down to it, you really have three choices on this Valentine's Day: cards, candy or flowers. The National Retail Federation estimates we'll be spending at least two billion dollars on the latter. So, why not make your investment last?
Locker's Florist and Flower Delivery in West Allis says it's important to do water changes with your arrangements at least several times a week.
Cutting your stems at an angle will also be a big benefit keeping your flowers lasting longer. Also, make sure the leaves aren't in the water. This can cause unwanted bacteria to grow.
Even though it's the 11th hour to purchase flowers, experts say buy local if you can. This way, you're keeping money in the community, and you'll probably pay less for delivery too.
