Hawaiian Tropical Flowers Buying Guide

Discover your Aloha spirit! Aloha is the Hawaiian word for hello and goodbye as well as love, peace, mercy, affection, and compassion. It's an expression given to friends, family, honored guests, fellow humans, and your most treasured loved ones. By offering Hawaiian tropical flowers to any guest or loved one, you are providing an Aloha gift of stunning quality and deep respect. As a welcoming or parting gift or for celebration, sympathy and acts of love, these unique island flower arrangements present a philosophical, spiritual, and emotional connection in an exotic and heartfelt way.

Hawaiian tropical flowers also last one-to-two weeks longer than most floral arrangements ensuring your message of love and happiness is felt by many well after the celebration or event. Tropical flowers can include:


Anthuriums
Dendrobium and Oncidium Orchids
Heliconias
Birds of Paradise
Gingers
Hawaiian foliage

Leis and Hawaiian tropical flower arrangements are handmade offerings made of the greatest quality and freshness. They arrive from the Big Island usually express service for your convenience. Kept in specially made containers, tropical flowers arrive ready-to-wear and with handling and caring instructions.

When you receive your tropical flowers make sure to unpack immediately and do not refrigerate. After trimming ?-inch from each stem, for most flowers it is best to immerse entire stems in water at room temperature for 10 minutes. You will allow maximum water absorption for each stem by cutting them at an angle. This also makes them easier to arrange.

Make sure your Hawaiian tropical flowers have plenty of water. Misting flowers daily can ensure proper water absorption. Changing flower water and trimming stems every few days will also ensure proper water absorption. Always keep flowers (standard and tropical) directly out of direct sunlight, cool breezes or heated areas (this includes near TV sets and radiators).

Additionally, each type of Hawaiian tropical flower has its own care instructions. Anthuriums and ginger should be submerged whole for 10-15 minutes in cool water. Dendrobium and Oncidium orchid sprays can also be cooled in water for 10 to 15 minutes, but stems should be re-cut once or twice a week. Make sure to change water daily. To bring out extra flowers in any Bird of Paradise, insert your thumb inside the sheath. You can do this through the slit on the upper side of the flower. Then gently lift with your thumb the new flower. Hawaiian foliage should be trimmed half an inch at the stem. Immerse immediately in fresh water. For best results, immerse for 15 minutes.

Hawaiian tropical flowers are also excellent for wedding and bridal arrangements. Bring good luck to every special celebration with leis for all your wedding guests. For the bride, any tropical flower bouquet or flowers for her hair, will create an exotic and stunning look. Bring the beauty of the island along with the spirit and good fortune of Aloha to your union.
