How much water do I add to a vase?

To properly care for your flowers, begin by filling the vase approximately two-thirds full of room temperature water. It is important to avoid using hot or cold water, as extreme temperatures can potentially shock delicate flowers. By using room temperature water, you create a comfortable environment for your blooms, allowing them to thrive and remain fresh for a longer duration.

How often should I change the water in the vase?

To maintain the freshness of your flowers, it is recommended to change the water in the vase every 2-3 days. Additionally, you can top up the water level when necessary. It is crucial to clean the vase thoroughly each time you change the water to prevent any bacterial growth.

When placing the flowers in the vase, ensure that there are no foliage or leaves below the water line. This helps keep the water clean and free from any potential contaminants. Removing any lower leaves also helps maintain the overall cleanliness of the arrangement.

Furthermore, it is important to remove any wilting stems as they can affect the longevity of the other flowers. Regularly inspect your arrangement and remove any fading or wilted stems to ensure the vitality and beauty of the remaining blooms.

Why should I trim the flower stems?

Over time, flower stems can dry out, which can affect their ability to absorb water. To combat this, we take special care of your flower arrangement by cleaning and cutting the stems before sending it to you.

We recommend cutting the stems again after 2-3 days to enhance water uptake. Using sharp scissors, make a fresh cut at a 45-degree angle, removing approximately 0.5-1 inch from the bottom of the stems. This technique increases the surface area available for water absorption, ensuring your flowers remain hydrated and vibrant for an extended period.

Where should I keep my flowers?

For prolonged freshness, it is beneficial to keep cut flowers in cool conditions. To prevent them from drying out, it is important to avoid placing them near draughts, direct sunlight, heat sources, and ripening fruit.

Here's a pro tip: Be mindful of keeping your flowers away from a fruit bowl, particularly apples, as they release ethylene gas. This gas can accelerate the deterioration of flowers, shortening their lifespan. By maintaining an optimal environment and avoiding exposure to ethylene-producing fruits, you can ensure that your flowers remain vibrant and beautiful for an extended period.

Can I keep the flowers in their warping or box?

Take pleasure in the beauty of your hand-selected flower bouquet or flower box arrangement. To maximize the longevity and freshness of your flowers, we recommend placing the flower bouquet in a vase filled with water. As for the flower bags, we suggest checking the moisture level of the floral foam block.

Furthermore, we provide a step-by-step guide to help you care for your flowers even after you have enjoyed the initial beauty of the arrangements. These guidelines are designed to assist you in prolonging the lifespan of your flowers, allowing you to continue appreciating their splendor for as long as possible.

How long do fresh flowers last?

Typically, you can expect your flowers to last around 7-10 days from the time of purchase. However, the exact duration can vary depending on the specific flower variety. In instances of extreme heat, the lifespan may be slightly reduced.

With proper care and attention, you can ensure that your flowers remain vibrant and delightful for at least a week. By following our recommended care instructions, you can maximize the longevity of your blooms, allowing you to enjoy their beauty for an extended period.
