Frequently Asked Questions How long do these flowers last? The tropicals: protea, orchids(Cymbiduims,Dendrobiums), anthuriums, ginger, heliconias will last anywhere from 2-3 weeks with proper care. "Spring flowers" such as lilies, roses, sunflowers, statice and carnations could last anywhere from 7-10 days. br /> What can I do to maximize the life of the flowers? Your flowers will stay healthy with fresh water, therefore maintain the quality and level of water in the arrangement. In hotter areas we suggest watering your arrangement every other day and for cooler climates 2-3 times a week. For flowers that are not in oasis, cutting the bottoms of the stems about 1 inch 2-3 times a week and changing the water daily will increase the lasting quality significantly. Keep in mind that cooler water is best. How long do the leis last? Tuberose, rose, and cigar can last up to 4-5 days. Leave them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator after each use. Orchid leis can last up to 1 to 1.5 weeks, leaving the lei in the refrigerator after use. Maile can last 2 weeks, again, keeping it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Silverleaf with Kukui Nut Lei and Mock Orange with Kukui Nut may last over 2 weeks. Please keep in mind that the flowers do get bruised with each use. Do the leis stain clothing? The Akulikuli, when picked wet, is the only lei that will stain your clothes. What are your fragrant leis? Tuberose Maile Puakenikeni Micronesian Ginger Do you deliver? We deliver to areas on the Big Island within a reasonable proximity. Delivery fees do apply. Please read "Store Policy" for more information and fee schedule. Can I take my flowers back with me to the mainland? Most of our leis can go home with you with the exception of the Kukui and Mock Orange lei. Although our flowers are of the freshest quality, we need to process the flowers to meet the state’s agricultural requirements. Carrying the flowers on the plane with you is taking a risk.
