Keep your flowers looking fresh and beautiful for longer with these simple care tips:
Fresh Water Matters
Fill a clean vase with fresh, cool water. Change the water every 2–3 days to keep bacteria from building up.
Trim the Stems
Cut 1–2 cm off the stems at an angle before placing them in water. Re-trim every few days to help the flowers absorb water better.
Remove Lower Leaves
Remove any leaves that sit below the waterline to prevent bacteria and keep the water clean.
Keep Them Cool
Place your flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heaters, and drafts.
Avoid Fruit
Keep flowers away from ripening fruit, as it releases gases that can cause flowers to wilt faster.
Use Flower Food
Add the flower food provided to the water—it helps nourish the blooms and extend their life.
Refresh Regularly
Gently rinse the vase and refill with fresh water every few days for best results.
Pro Tip
Different flowers have different lifespans, but with proper care, most fresh bouquets will last 5–7 days or longer.
