Care Instructions
A little care goes a long way. Follow these tips to keep your arrangement looking beautiful for as long as possible.
Trim the Stems
Cut about 1 inch off the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle. This helps the flowers absorb water more easily. Re-trim every few days.
Use Clean Water
Fill your vase with fresh, room-temperature water. Change the water every 2 days to prevent bacteria buildup.
Add Flower Food
If your arrangement came with a flower food packet, mix it into the water. It provides nutrients and helps extend the life of your blooms.
Find the Right Spot
Keep your flowers in a cool spot away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and drafts. Avoid placing them near fruit - ripening fruit releases ethylene gas that shortens flower life.
Remove Wilted Blooms
As individual flowers start to fade, remove them from the arrangement. This keeps the remaining flowers looking fresh and prevents bacteria spread.
Keep Leaves Out of Water
Remove any leaves that fall below the waterline. Submerged foliage decays quickly and clouds the water.
