Flower Care
To enjoy your flowers at their best, follow these simple care tips:
1. Unpack Promptly: Remove the flowers from their packaging as soon as possible.
2. Trim the Stems: Cut 1/2 to 3/4 inch off each stem at a diagonal before placing them in water. This helps them absorb water more effectively.
3. Hydrate with Fresh Water: Place flowers in a clean vase with cool or tepid water, and make sure to change the water every 2-3 days.
4. Remove Lower Leaves: Take off any leaves that would sit below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
5. Allow Breathing Room: Don’t overcrowd the flowers in the vase—this helps them stay fresh longer.
6. Monitor Water Levels: Flowers are thirsty! Refill the vase frequently to keep water at an optimal level.
7. Re-cut Limp Stems: If any flowers begin to droop, trim their stems again to improve water uptake.
8. Keep Away from Heat and Fruit: Place your flowers in a cool spot, away from drafts, direct sunlight, and ripening fruits (like bananas and apples), which emit ethylene gas that can speed up wilting.
9. Remove Wilted Blooms: To keep the arrangement looking fresh, discard any blooms that begin to wilt.
Note: Following these care tips can help your flowers stay vibrant for up to 7 days. Remember, slight color variations may occur due to seasonal changes.
