Florist News

I am at present in the middle of a funeral, it is very hot today as you all know!, I have the tributes outside shaded by a bed sheet over the washing line and spray lightly every few hours with hosepipe do you think it will be ok. I have retired from floristry but just do the odd bit now and again hence no cold room.
Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam, Nice to meet you. Tell us a little more about yourself.

Might be an idea to find some space in a cool garage or shed if you have one, I am sure they would be fine outside but perhaps check for creepy crawlies tomorrow before you take them to the FD's!!! lol

cant help thinking they would be better indoors than out in this weather, ideally a garage but if not then your darkest, coolest room, maybe put a fan on if you have one

I would do without the hosepipe,,,,,,,, that aint gonna be good for it alll......


use a fine spray but make sure they are out of the sun ......

hi and welcome

I aint got a garage or a dark room or a fan (sounds though I am a paurper) What I have been doing is misting with hosepipe attatchment every hour on the hour ! It would be far simpler if people snuffed it in the Winter!!!
Hope I aint offended anyone.
Thanks

Hello

I'm with FBA- a bit late now but if it happens again perhaps lose the hosepipe spray and just take a plant sprayer to it very lightly every 3 or 4 hours, not too much at all. Failing that I would rig up some kind of temporary shade, even if its only cardboard to keep the sun off (not plastic though) and as suggested check very carefully for night creepers before you send out.

I used to live in a first floor flat when I was in college and used to put everything in the dark hallway - I'm sure my neighbours thought I was mad before they realised what I was doing! But you have to do what you have to do.

Welcome!

If you are misting them, and the sun is coming through the sheet, you are risking scorching your designs...Hope they are ok.

Look forward to chatting. Did you used to have a shop? Or work for someone? Or what? What's ya story?!
