Watering + Care Instructions for Chalet Planter Arrangments

Dear Chalet Signature Customer:

With the heat and dry conditions that we are experiencing, we wanted to send you a friendly reminder to water your planter arrangements and annual beds.  You will likely need to give your arrangements and annual ground plantings a good soaking once in the morning, and again in the late afternoon. 
 
Generally, there are three parts to caring for your annual flowers:

• Watering: The watering amount and frequency are based on-site specifics such as sun exposure, ambient temperature, and specific watering requirements of each plant in the arrangement. To determine whether your arrangement needs water, use a finger to touch the surface of the soil.

• Temperature:

• When temperatures are 60°F or lower, water 2 times per week

• When temperatures are over 75°, water daily

• For every 10°F over 75, add an additional watering per day, allowing the water to drain out of the bottom of the container each time  

• Fertilizer: Your arrangement comes with a timed-release fertilizer, but the addition of water-soluble fertilizers applied with waterings later in the season may extend the life and quality of the container

• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage new blooms, either with garden scissors or just snapping them off at the flower base

We hope you find this helpful, and please feel free to reply to this email with any questions you may have. 

Sincerely,

Your Friends at Chalet
