How to care for your Anastasia spider mums:  Upon arrival remove all packaging from the spider mums. Carefully remove any lower leaves on the stems that may fall below the water line. Cut stems diagonally approx 1 inch from the end under running water with a sharp knife. Place spiders in 4 inches of clean, fresh water from the faucet and add floral preservative. It is normal for spider mum flowers to appear sleepy or thirsty upon arrival and they need 24hrs to re-hydrate after their journey. Keep wedding flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts, and excessive heat. Re-cut stems and refresh water every 1-2 days to help your Anastasia spider mums live long and beautifully.
