Instructions

- 1
  Order your evergreen centerpiece from a floral shop that commits to the freshest evergreen centerpieces. Order locally, if possible. If you order from out of town, it may take many days to arrive and the centerpiece may dry out in transit.

  Fill the base with water — right to the brim 3 on the day the centerpiece arrives in your home. An evergreen centerpiece will typically have a green, moist sponge in its base. The job of the sponge is to keep the centerpiece well-watered. Regularly add water to the sponge base.

  Mist the evergreen centerpiece with a spray water bottle each day. This helps keep the centerpiece fresh and also sends a soft evergreen smell through your home.
