Scott’s fresh greenery is crafted to bring natural beauty and fragrance into your home, and with a few simple care steps, you can keep it looking lush throughout the season.
Follow these tips to maintain the quality and longevity of wreaths, garlands, swags, and arrangements:
Hydrate Before Displaying:
For any indoor greenery, soak your wreaths, garlands, and bundles in cool water for several hours (or overnight) before setting them up. This helps them absorb moisture, making them last longer indoors.
Daily Misting:
Mist indoor greenery daily with water to prevent it from drying out, especially in warmer, low-humidity spaces. Avoid spraying decorative elements like ribbons or bows, as they may discolor.
Temperature Control:
Greens stay fresher in cool, humid environments. If possible, keep your wreaths, garlands, and swags away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and fireplaces. This will prevent excessive drying and needle loss.
Anti-Transpirant Spray:
Anti-transpirants, such as "Wilt Pruf," create a protective layer that reduces water loss, helping greenery stay fresh longer. Spray all sides of your greenery and allow it to dry before decorating.
Store Outside Before Use:
If you’re not setting up your greenery immediately, store it in a cool, shaded area outdoors. Keeping it moist and shaded will maintain its freshness until you’re ready to bring it inside.
By following these tips, your greenery will stay beautiful and vibrant, adding a festive touch to your home. You can expect your indoor greens to last between 2-3 weeks depending on temperature and treatment.
