Looking for a Reliable Local Hong Kong Florist?

Internet gives a level-playing field for everyone. But on the other hand this gives a hard time for online shoppers since there are simply too many online stores. You cannot judge which one is trustworthy and reliable. All of them are just a click away and all of them appear to be very professional.

If you live outside of Hong Kong and are looking for a local Hong Kong florist to help you send some flowers to your beloved ones, friends or family living in Hong Kong, very likely you will just search in Google. But then you'll see some advertisements on top and on the right hand side of the Google search result page, and you'll also see a lot of listings. Almost all of them claim themselves to be local Hong Kong florist. A lot of them even leverage our company name and put the text "Hong Kong Flower Shop" in their site just to get more attention and better ranking in search results. So when people are looking for us "Hong Kong Flower Shop Limited" or "HongKongFlowerShop.com", sometimes people may be misled and land onto some other "fake" sites mimicking us.

In fact, apart from us, there are some other reliable and genuine florists in Hong Kong. When you look for a reliable and trustworthy local Hong Kong florist, you may like to consider these:

1. Instead of just looking at the design layout of the online florist, look for more information about the company. Are they a real local Hong Kong florist with a real business address? 

2. Do they have a fixed line company contact number? Normally the phone number has 8 digits and starts with "2". Phone numbers starting with "6" or "8" are normally mobile (cell) phone numbers. Even for a very small local Hong Kong florist, they should have a fixed line as their company contact number.

3. Price is another consideration. While it's perfectly understandable that low price is what normal online shoppers are looking for, you should also note that those online flower shops selling at exceptionally low or unreasonable price are abnormal. You should be looking for value for money products rather than simply the cheapest or low price products online.

The above serve as some basic hints for you to look for a genuine, trustworthy, credible and reliable local Hong Kong florist.


Look no further, Hong Kong Flower Shop Limited - established since 1998 - is your perfect local Hong Kong florist to help you deliver flowers and surprises to your beloved ones, family and friends in Hong Kong.

Flower Care 3

DON'T...

  • Smash or pierce the stems, or use blunt scissors, as this destroys the water vessels and inhibits water uptake, and causes bacteria to multiple more quickly and over a larger area. It also causes the flower undue stress which shortens its life.
  • Mix daffodils and narcissi with other flowers. They emit latex from their stems when cut, which is known as `daffodil slime', and shortens the life of other flowers. Keep daffodils alone in vases, or use the special bulb cut flower food which makes them safe to mix with other flowers. You can place the daffodils in a bucket of water for at least 12 hours on their own and then arrange them with other flowers, making sure you do not cut the stem again. 
  • Put flowers near ripening fruit – it releases tiny amounts of ethylene gas which prematurely ages flowers. Dying flowers do the same so always remove them from the vase. 
  • Place flowers in a draught which chills the flowers, or in bright sunlight which encourages bacteria to breed. Keep them away from over-warm central heating.
  • Put copper coins, aspirin, lemonade, or bleach in the water. They're popular tricks but they don't work, and they can't feed your flowers adequately. 
  • Attempt to wash pollen stains - wrap some sellotape around you hand, sticky side out, and carefully dab it off.
  • Mix cats and lillies. Lily pollen is extremely toxic to cats.

Flower Care 2

DO...

  • Buy flowers from a reputable outlet, and choose blooms with firm petals or with buds that show a degree of colour to ensure the flowers will develop fully.
  • Ask for cut flower food if it is not already supplied. This contains the correct ingredients to a) feed the flowers properly, b) keep bacteria at bay (which blocks the stem and stops water uptake), c) encourage buds to open, d) lengthen the life of the flowers. Snipping the corner off a one-dose sachet and adding it to the vase water is simple and effective - and scientifically tested to make your flowers last longer.
  • Use lukewarm water - there's less oxygen in it, and helps prevent air bubbles in the stem that will block water uptake. It also encourages some flowers to open up. The only exception to this is spring bulb flowers like daffodils and tulips which prefer cold water.
  • Use thoroughly clean vases - bacteria kills flowers.
  • Cut stems at an angle (preferably with a blade rather than scissors).This gives the stem a bigger area to take up more water, and stops it resting on the bottom of the vase and sealing itself.
  • Put gerberas in only a few inches of water. As gerberas lack leaves, if the water level is too high you'll effectively drown them, causing the head to droop.
  • If you've left your roses in a hot car on the way home, rescusitate by freshly slicing the stem and laying them in a bath of cold water.
  • As your lily flowers open, snip off the stamens to keep pollen to a minimum. This will save pollen stains on your fabrics. If you do get pollen on you, wrap some sellotape sticky side out around your hand, and dad the pollen off (never get it wet, or rub it!).  
  • Keep lily blooms away from your cats, as lily pollen is poisonous to them. Clip the stamens as the blooms open, and keep the plants out of your cat's reach.
Send a flower bouquet to cheer your beloved ones or friends in Hong Kong now!

Flower Care 1


With proper flower care, most commercially grown flowers will last at last a week if treated properly. Some varieties last longer than others.

To get the best from your flowers...

1. Make sure vases are very clean.  
2. Use fresh lukewarm water with commercial cut flower food added. 
3. Remove any leaves that will be below the water level. 
4. Cut at least 3cm (1 inch) off all stems, making a slanted cut with a sharp knife or very sharp scissors (placing in water immediately afterwards). 
5. Avoid direct sunlight, heat, or draughts which can shorten flowers' lives. 
6. Keep flowers away from fruit. 
7. Top up the water regularly and add flower food in proportion.

At Hong Kong Flower Shop Limited (HongKongFlowerShop.com), we only deliver fresh flowers. But still you need to give good care of the flowers to make them last longer.

If you want to send some flowers to friends, relatives or business associates in Hong Kong, by all means visit our online store at www.HongKongFlowerShop.com.
