Evergreen Product Care
Finding Product Care Information when you Receive the Item
We provide care information for our fresh evergreen products directly on the boxes that they are shipped in. It is printed directly on the inside flap of the box, so it is easy for gift recipients to understand how to take care of their gifts.
How to Care for Wreaths, Swags, Centerpieces, Trees, and Garland
To ensure freshness, our boxes say “Please Open Immediately”. Remove the evergreen product immediately after receiving it. Care instructions are printed directly on the inside flap of the box.
Wreath and Swag Care
We recommend that you hang your wreath or swag outside because fresh air extends the life of the natural product. Climate and direct sunlight drastically affect how long your evergreens will last. Hanging your wreath or swag in a cool location with a good amount of shade will help it live longer. Some customers really want their wreath or swag inside their home, and that is understandable. When placed indoors, they will last about 3 weeks with proper care.
All greenery should be kept away from heat sources that may dry them out such as direct sunlight, heat vents, and open flames. Always keep evergreens away from ignition sources.
Wreaths and swags absorb moisture through their cut ends.
To increase the health and lifespan of your wreath or swag, spritz the back with water every 2-3 days. Evergreens will drink the water, and you will find your wreath or swag to be more fragrant and last longer.
Centerpiece Care
Caring for these products is actually quite easy, as they require very little upkeep. With proper care, our centerpieces should last at least 3 weeks.
Upon arrival, add ½ cup of water to the center of the oasis foam. To properly care for your product, add another ½ cup water and spritz every 2-3 days. This brings out the fragrance.
If your centerpiece has a candle, there will be a green plastic candle holder inserted in the center. For taper candles, simply insert the candles into the holders. For pillar candles, peel off the white square sticker on the candle holder and press the candle firmly into the holder. It is not necessary to use the sticker for LED candles.
All greenery should be kept in a cool location, away from heat sources that may dry them out such as direct sunlight, heat vents, and open flames. Always keep them away from ignition sources. Keep candle flames at least 4” away from the greenery. Never leave lit candles unattended.
Garland Care
We recommend that you hang your garland outside because fresh air extends the life of this natural product. Climate and direct sunlight drastically affect how long garland will last. Hanging your garland in a cool location with a good amount of shade will help it live longer. Some customers really want their garland inside their home, and that is understandable. When placed indoors, it will last about 3 weeks with proper care.
Garland absorbs moisture through their cut ends. To really increase the health and lifespan of your garland, spritz the cut ends with water every 2-3 days. Evergreens will drink the water, and you will find your garland to be more fragrant and last longer.

Tabletop Tree Care
Caring for these products is actually quite easy, as they require very little upkeep. With proper care, our tabletop trees should last at least 3 weeks.
Upon arrival, add up to 8 cups of water directly in the top of the tree (it’s best to move the tree to the kitchen counter in case of spills). Our trees will soak up all that water! To properly care for your product, add another 1 cup or so of water and spritz every 2-3 days. Trees are shipped fairly dry to avoid damage during shipping.

How Long Our Products Last
Climate makes the biggest difference. In colder climates or northern states, our wreaths last about 6-8 weeks. So, wreaths delivered around December 1st should last through Christmas with proper care. Many of our customers in colder climates have let us know that their wreaths have lasted through March! In dry climates or southern states, our wreaths last about 4-6 weeks. So, wreaths ordered around December 1st should also last through Christmas with proper care. Even in warmer climates, we have seen them last through the middle of January. We suggest you place your wreath outside to increase its longevity. When kept indoors, they will last about 3 weeks with proper care. For a long-lasting wreath, spritz the back of the wreath with water every two to three days. With proper care, centerpieces and tabletop trees will last at least 3 weeks indoors. Our garland will also last about 3 weeks with proper care when hung indoors. However, it can last 4-6 weeks or longer outdoors in cool climates.
