How to Care for Flowers

🌿 Step 1: Why Flower Care Matters

Fresh flowers are living art, and with just a little attention, you can enjoy their beauty even longer.

Follow our simple flower care guide to make your blooms last!

💧 Step 2: Trim the Stems

Always trim 1–2 inches off the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle before placing your flowers in water.

This helps them absorb water more efficiently and stay fresh.

🚰 Step 3: Use Clean Water and a Clean Vase

Start with a clean vase and fresh, room-temperature water.

Change the water every 1–2 days to prevent bacteria build-up that can shorten the life of your flowers.

☀️ Step 4: Find the Perfect Spot

Keep your bouquet away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and cold drafts.

Flowers last longer in a cool, shaded environment.

🍎 Step 5: Keep Away from Fruits

Did you know fruits like apples release ethylene gas that can cause flowers to wilt faster?

Keep your bouquet away from fruit bowls for maximum freshness.

🧪 Step 6: Use Flower Food (or DIY)

If your bouquet includes flower food, add it to the water.

No flower food? Mix a teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of bleach into the water to nourish and protect your flowers.

🌸 Bonus Tip: Remove Wilting Flowers

As soon as you notice any wilting flowers, remove them.

This prevents bacteria from spreading and keeps your bouquet looking its best.
