Simple steps to keep your bouquet fresh and beautiful for as long as possible.
Cut stems at a 45-degree angle using sharp scissors or shears. This increases the surface area for water absorption. Re-trim every few days to maintain freshness.
Fill your vase with clean, room-temperature water. Change the water every two days to prevent bacterial growth and keep flowers hydrated.
Strip any leaves that would sit below the waterline. Submerged foliage can decay quickly and contaminate the water, shortening the life of your bouquet.
Place your flowers in a cool spot away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and ripening fruit. Heat accelerates wilting and reduces bloom longevity.
If provided, add flower food to the water according to package instructions. It provides nutrients and helps prevent bacterial growth.
Wash your vase thoroughly before arranging flowers. A clean container prevents bacteria buildup and keeps water fresh longer.
When your bouquet arrives, unwrap it carefully and inspect the blooms. Trim the stems immediately and place them in fresh water. Allow the flowers to hydrate for a few hours in a cool location before displaying them in their final spot.
Check water levels daily and top up as needed. Remove any wilted blooms or yellowing leaves promptly to keep the arrangement looking its best and prevent decay from spreading to healthy flowers.
If flowers begin to droop, try re-cutting the stems and placing them in warm water for 30 minutes. This can help revive slightly wilted blooms by encouraging water uptake.
Different seasons bring unique challenges for flower care. In summer, keep arrangements in air-conditioned spaces and change water more frequently. During winter, avoid placing flowers near heating sources or cold drafts. Spring and fall offer ideal conditions, but always monitor water levels and freshness.
