Always remember that floralytes are just for one time use. For each vase you will require 2 to 3 floralytes which will last for 36 to 48 hours.it you put them under water, then the floralytes will last for 6 to 8 hours.
You can use up to 40 ostrich plums in your centerpieces if you want to give a fuller centerpiece presentation. Try to use feathers of a bit different sizes to get the best look.
The centerpiece can be later used to decorate the interiors of your living space. So make sure not to throw them except the floralytes.
