Palm Care Instructions

PULL ALL BAGGED PALMS OUT OF BOX! It is best to store all palms upright. Avoid stacking bags flat
on top of each other if possible.
DO NOT TEAR BAGS OPEN YET! Wait until you are ready to use or arrange them. If bags are opened
prematurely, it is best to reseal them with tape or clips until required.
KEEP COOL! *40 - 50 degrees preferable! * DO NOT FREEZE ! If no refrigerated space is available,
keep in WELL-LIT, AIR-CONDITIONED space to prevent molding. DO NOT PUT NEAR HEAT SOURCES
OR IN DIRECT SUN !!
CHECK YOUR ORDER! keep in mind - entire order may not arrive on the same day. Please call
immediately regarding any concerns so they can be addressed in a timely fashion!
Altar Decorations
BROWN TIPS - DON'T PANIC! Brown tips are a natural feature of almost all healthy palm leaves.
Brown tips do not indicate your palm is dried or drying. It is very common for leaves to have 3 inches or
more of brown tips on fan/date palm.Less than 5% of palm leaves have little to no brown tips.
PRIOR TO ARRANGE: Cut the stem at a 45 degree angle 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch above bottom end of
stem.Place in ICE WATER for 1-3 hours. This will add luster to any dry appearing alter decorations.
Leaves that come in tightly folded or 'closed' will open up when placed in ice water.
KEEP WATER IN ARRANGEMENT VESSEL! This will keep palms fresh up to and through your service.
