Flower Care
To help you enjoy your beautiful floral arrangement longer, please follow these essential care tips:
-
Water Wisely
- Change the water completely every 2-3 days.
- Always use clean, lukewarm water for most flowers, except use cold water for bulb flowers like tulips.
-
Stem Care
- Trim the stems about an inch every few days using sharp scissors. Cut at a 45-degree angle to allow better water absorption.
-
Keep Cool and Shaded
- Avoid placing your flowers in direct sunlight, near heaters, or on top of electronic devices. A cool room away from direct heat sources is ideal.
-
Prune Regularly
- Remove any wilted flowers or leaves, especially those falling below the water line to prevent bacterial growth.
-
Avoid Fruit
- Do not place your arrangement near fruit or vegetables as they emit ethylene gas, which can cause premature wilting.
-
Monitor Water Levels
- Check daily and top off the water if it looks low. Flowers can drink a lot, especially in the first few days.
-
Handle Gently
- When moving your vase, be gentle. Rough handling can damage flowers and lead to an earlier demise.
-
Room Placement
- Keep flowers away from drafts, extreme temperatures, and smoke, which can all shorten flower life.
By following these tips, your flowers will look vibrant and last longer.
