At Christmas time, they are available dip-painted or dyed in metallic gold, silver, bronze or red.

Conditioning and Care
To get the best from your wholesale cut anthuriums, please read the care instructions below carefully:
- Most anthuriums arrive with water bottles/ vials attached to the stems. Please note this is for transport purposes only.
- Remove the water vials.
- Fill sterilised buckets with fresh, clean water and add flower food.
- Place the anthuriums in the buckets with the heads supported.
- Leave overnight to condition before using.
- Anthuriums are tropical flowers, so they must be kept warm. A centrally heated house is perfect. Excess humidity may damage flowers.
- Flower food is not necessary.
- Anthurium's exceptional longevity is reduced when arranged in floral foam.
- Immersing flowers in warm water can increase their vase life
Never leave cut flowers in direct sunlight, near a radiator, in a draft or near fruit. (The gas used to ripen fruit will harm most flowers). Keep the anthuriums in a warm place and always keep them out of the way of children.
