We are a Miami-based startup and our founder has years of experience creating ikebana arrangements in the US and Japan. You can read more on the About Us page
Your first month you'll receive a starter kit with a vase and other ikebana tools. Every month you'll receive a new, unique design and all the fresh flowers you'll need to create the arrangement
We source flowers and other material from all over the world: Japan, Holland, Ecuador, Colombia, Kenya and California are just some of the locations where our farmers grow flowers
We are plugged into a 'cold chain' that keeps the flowers refrigerated from the moment they're picked on the farm to when we hand off your box off to Fedex for overnight shipping
No you do not. However, if your delivery is left outside in extreme heat or cold it may damage the flowers, so you should attempt to bring your flowers indoors ASAP
It depends on the type of flower, but most arrangements should last about a week. Proper flower care can extend the life of your arrangement - see the 'Flower Care' section below
Flowers often 'go to sleep' during the journey to your house but can be quickly revived by snipping their stems and placing in water - see details in the 'Flower Care' section below
The metal kenzan is the traditional kenzan. It is made of brass needles and a lead base. Lead is used as the base because it is a heavy metal, and the weight helps to balance the arrangement. Lead is not absorbed through the skin, nor can it move from water into skin. It enters the human body through ingestion or inhalation. Therefore handling lead is safe, however we recommend you take precautions such as: washing your hands after each use, especially before eating food; not allowing children to handle the kenzan; and not placing the kenzan in the dishwasher. We recognize that some customers with children may be concerned about having a lead product in their home. For these customers we offer the resin kenzan. The resin kenzan comes with a suction mat. The mat is suctioned to the vase, and the resin kenzan is placed on top of the mat to secure it in place.
We will charge your card the day you sign up to cover the first shipment; every subsequent month we'll charge you on the same day each month about 10 days before your flowers arrive
When you sign up you select your first delivery date which is usually a Friday 2-3 weeks from the day you sign up. That gives us enough time to order our flowers from the farms
To ensure flowers are at their freshest, we always pack our boxes on Thursday and ship them overnight to arrive Friday...unfortunately that is the only option
Yes, as long as you are 8 days away from your scheduled delivery date, you can skip a box and you won't be charged. Click on 'My Account' and go to 'Manage Subscriptions' to skip a box
Yes! Your flowers may need to be refreshed after the long journey. As soon as your box arrives, you should snip an inch from the base of each stem and place into a bucket of water
