The Botanical candle is different than a regular one and requires more attention. The candle burns internally, highlighting an external decorated shell. To ensure your special candle lasts as long as possible, please follow these care instructions. Candle Fire Safety Rules: • Remember to trim the wick before each use so that the candle flame is not too active and the dried flowers do not burn. The optimal length of the wick is 5-6 mm. • To preserve beauty, you need to leave the side walls intact. If you see that the wax/paraffin begins to melt near the decoration, extinguish the candle and let the material cool. • Always keep a burning candle within sight. • Extinguish all candles when leaving a room. • Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. • Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc. • Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets. • Always use a candleholder specifically designed for candle use. The holder should be heat resistant, sturdy, and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax. • Be sure the candleholder is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. • Never touch or move a burning candle or container candle when the wax is liquid.

The ancient technique of hand-dipping candles -- repeatedly dipping a weighted wick in melted wax -- remains unchanged today. Two candles are dipped at once, one at each end of a long wick.Heated wax can ignite, so never leave it unattended; lower heat immediately if wax begins to burn or smoke. The color can be deepened or altered with shavings of darker beeswax or wax-dye pellets. Use 15-ply wicking for thin tapers, 24-ply for candles thicker than 1/2 inch
