Flower Care 101

You’ve just received beautiful floral. Now how do you keep them looking fresh?

We all love having fresh cut floral in our homes. Now the key is how to keep them looking fresh. By following these simple steps you can ensure your flowers will live as long as possible.

  • Check your water levels daily. Especially on the first day in your home. Fresh flowers will drink more on the first few days in your home. In addition the roads are bumpy and your vase may have lost some water on its way to your home.
  • Bacteria in the water will shorten the life of your flowers. When water becomes cloudy, replace water in the vase. This is best done every 2-3 days. The simplest way to achieve this is by holding the flowers gently to the side of your vase and carefully placing your kitchen faucet inside the vase. Run cool water until the vase water runs clear and the old water has been flushed out.
  • There is a variety of of floral in your vase. The natural lifespan of each flower is different. As your blooms droop, wilt and die, remove them from your arrangement to protect the other blossoms.
  • We all know plants love the sun, but fresh floral does not do well in direct sunlight. Keep floral away from the heat and direct sunlight and your arrangement will last longer.

Enjoy!
