Follow these simple flower care tips to keep your bouquets looking fresh and vibrant.

1. Start with a Clean Vase

A clean vase is essential for keeping your flowers healthy. Bacteria can build up in dirty vases and shorten the lifespan of your flowers.

  • Wash your vase thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
  • Rinse well to ensure no soap residue remains.

 

2. Use Fresh, Clean Water

Fresh water is vital for your flowers’ longevity.

  • Fill the vase with fresh, room-temperature water.
  • Change the water daily to keep it clean and free from bacteria.

 

3. Trim the Stems

Cutting the stems at an angle allows for better water absorption.

  • Trim 1-2 cm from the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle using sharp scissors or pruning shears.
  • Repeat this process every few days to keep the stems fresh.

 

4. Regularly Check Your Flowers

  • Inspect your flowers daily to keep them fresh and beautiful.

    • Remove any wilted flowers to prevent them from affecting the healthy blooms.
    • Replenish water and flower food as needed.

 

5. Keep Your Flowers Cool

Flowers thrive in cooler temperatures and away from direct sunlight.

    • Place your vase in a cool spot out of direct sunlight.
    • Avoid placing flowers near heat sources like radiators or appliances.
