Plant Repotting

Picture
Have a plant that has overgrown it's pot, is root bound and suffering? Bring it in and we'll repot it for you. We take great care in repotting plants.
We cannot guarantee your plant after we repot it, sometimes plants simply go into shock after being disturbed from a pot they've been in for years.

Flower and Plant Care Tips

What is flower food and why use it?

The package of flower food that accompanies your flowers is there for a
reason. This little packet provides much needed nourishment for your flowers.
It possesses the super powers to stave off any microscopic critters that desire to
make your flowers their home. Water born bacteria growth suffocates your flowers to the point of dying sooner than they should, which is never good. So take the time to serve them their comfort food and your flowers will thank you.

What is Quick Dip and why do we use it?

Just as you enjoy your morning cup of coffee to liven you up…flowers enjoy a
jolt as well. We treat them to a process called Quick Dip. It is the flower
version of caffeine. It awakens them from the droopy slumber they’ve been in
since they left the flower farm.

Why is it necessary to cut stems at an angle?

Flowers are delicate creatures. They are made up of tiny little veins that
provide the pathway for nourishment. Fresh cut flowers require clean water,
flower food and cool temperatures to provide a comfortable atmosphere for
their longevity. A clean angled cut opens the veins up widest, allowing the
stem to stand on its tippy toes, increasing water absorption. If left sitting
flat on the bottom of the vase, this process becomes impaired.

Why do we process flowers and what does this entail?

Our flowers have been on a journey from California, Canada, Europe and
South America. From the moment they arrive we welcome them as our guests. We look at it this way, we are simply a bed and breakfast for these pretty
little visitors that are passing through for a short rest on their way to see
you! When they get here we take off their coat and any excess baggage they may have with them. We carefully inspect that they are not ill from their travels. We
give them fresh water, some food and a little dip to liven them up from their
droopy slumber. Then after they’ve begun to perk up, we settle them into their
cool and cozy accommodations in our cooler. During their stay we play the
perfect host by changing their water, keeping them safe from danger like heat,
fruit, ethylene gas and other ill visitors. Flowers at Dowd’s are not just flowers they are practically family. We give them the utmost attention and care, fully
conditioning every stem and bloom, quality that ensures they last as long as possible.

Why is it necessary to keep flowers in cold storage?

Just as you don’t feel your best on a hot muggy day, flowers do not either.
For them to look and feel their best they must stay cool and collected. Cut
flowers are destined to become droopy; all measures are made to slow this
process down, ensuring that they last the longest time possible.
